Vortex wakes are an example of flows which exhibit unsteadiness from sources other than turbulence. The phenomenon of vortex wandering is where the vortex core moves in an apparently random fashion…
Combustion instability sustained by unsteady vortex combustion

The determination of an internal feedback mechanism which leads to combustion instability inside a small scale
laboratory combustor is presented in this paper. During combustion instability, the…
Path-integral theory of an axially confined worm-like chain

A path-integral formulation is developed for the thermodynamic properties of a worm-like chain moving on a surface and laterally confined by a harmonic potential. The free energy of the chain is…
A strain-dependent ratchet model for [phosphate]- and [ATP]-dependent muscle contraction

A minimal strain-dependent ratchet model of muscle cross-bridge action is proposed which is broadly compatible with structural and kinetic constraints, and predicts many steady-state and transient properties of striated muscle observed experimentally.
Jovian electron propagation in three dimensions of the heliosphere : the Ulysses investigations

A comprehensive model of the action of myosin motors in the filament lattice of the half-sarcomere is defined, and a model cycle with two 4- to 5-nm working strokes, where phosphate is released slowly after the first stroke, is proposed.
