A microscopic model able to describe simultaneously the dynamic viscosity and the self-diffusion coefficient of fluids is presented. This model is shown to emerge from the introduction of fractional calculus in a usual model of condensed matter physics based on an elastic energy functional. The main feature of the model is that all measurable quantities are predicted to depend in a non-trivial way on external parameters (e.g. the experimental set-up geometry, in particular the sample size). On the basis of an unprecedented comparative analysis of a collection of published experimental data, the modeling is applied to the case of water in all its fluid phases, in particular in the supercooled phase. It is shown that the discrepancies in the literature data are only apparent and can be quantitavely explained by the different experimental configurations. This approach makes it possible to reproduce the water viscosity with a better accuracy than the 2008 IAPWS formulation and also with a more physically satisfying modeling of the isochors. Moreover, it also allows the modeling within experimental accuracy of the translational self-diffusion data available in the literature in all water fluid phases. Finally, the formalism of the model makes it possible to understand the anomalies observed on the dynamic viscosity and self-diffusion coefficient and their possible links.

In this work a new strategy is proposed in order to build analytic and microscopic models of fluctuating polymer rings subjected to topological constraints. The topological invariants used to fix these constraints belong to a wide class of the so-called numerical topological invariants. For each invariant it is possible to derive a field theory that describes the statistical behavior of knotted and linked polymer rings following a straightforward algorithm. The treatment is not limited to the partition function of the system, but it allows also to express the expectation values of general observables as field theory amplitudes. Our strategy is illustrated taking as examples the Gauss linking number and a topological invariant belonging to a class of invariants due to Massey. The consistency of the new method developed here is checked by reproducing a previous field theoretical model of two linked polymer rings. After the passage to field theory, the original topological constraints imposed on the fluctuating paths of the polymers become constraints over the configurations of the topological fields that mediate the interactions of topological origin between the monomers. These constraints involve quantities like the cross-helicity which are of interest in other disciplines, like for instance in modeling the solar magnetic field. While the calculation of the vacuum expectation values of generic observables remains still challenging due to the complexity of the problem of topological entanglement in polymer systems, we succeed here to reduce the evaluation of the moments of the Gauss linking number for two linked polymer rings to the computation of the amplitudes of a free field theory.
In the absence of fractures, methane bubbles in deep-water sediments can be immovably trapped within a porous matrix by surface tension. The dominant mechanism of transfer of gas mass therefore becomes the diffusion of gas molecules through porewater. The accurate description of this process requires non-Fickian diffusion to be accounted for, including both thermodiffusion and gravitational action. We evaluate the diffusive flux of aqueous methane considering non-Fickian diffusion and predict the existence of extensive bubble mass accumulation zones within deep-water sediments. The limitation on the hydrate deposit capacity is revealed; too weak deposits cannot reach the base of the hydrate stability zone and form any bubbly horizon.
We analyze, experimentally and numerically, the steady states, obtained by tapping, of a 2D granular layer. Contrary to the usual assumption, we show that the reversible (steady state branch) of the density--acceleration curve is nonmonotonous. Accordingly, steady states with the same mean volume can be reached by tapping the system with very different intensities. Simulations of dissipative frictional disks show that equal volume steady states have different values of the force moment tensor. Additionally, we find that steady states of equal stress can be obtained by changing the duration of the taps; however, these states present distinct mean volumes. These results confirm previous speculations that the volume and the force moment tensor are both needed to describe univocally equilibrium states in static granular assemblies.
For the Langevin model of the dynamics of a Brownian particle with perturbations orthogonal to its current velocity, in a regime when the particle velocity modulus becomes constant, an equation for the characteristic function $psi (t,lambda )=Mleft[exp (lambda ,x(t))/V={rm v}(0)right]$ of the position $x(t)$ of the Brownian particle. The obtained results confirm the conclusion that the model of the dynamics of a Brownian particle, which constructed on the basis of an unconventional physical interpretation of the Langevin equations, i. e. stochastic equations with orthogonal influences, leads to the interpretation of an ensemble of Brownian particles as a system with wave properties. These results are consistent with the previously obtained conclusions that, with a certain agreement of the coefficients in the original stochastic equation, for small random influences and friction, the Langevin equations lead to a description of the probability density of the position of a particle based on wave equations. For large random influences and friction, the probability density is a solution to the diffusion equation, with a diffusion coefficient that is lower than in the classical diffusion model.
A gas composed of a large number of atoms evolving according to Newtonian dynamics is often described by continuum hydrodynamics. Proving this rigorously is an outstanding open problem, and precise numerical demonstrations of the equivalence of the hydrodynamic and microscopic descriptions are rare. We test this equivalence in the context of the evolution of a blast wave, a problem that is expected to be at the limit where hydrodynamics could work. We study a one-dimensional gas at rest with instantaneous localized release of energy for which the hydrodynamic Euler equations admit a self-similar scaling solution. Our microscopic model consists of hard point particles with alternating masses, which is a nonintegrable system with strong mixing dynamics. Our extensive microscopic simulations find a remarkable agreement with Euler hydrodynamics, with deviations in a small core region that are understood as arising due to heat conduction.
