Kinetic theory of piston problem and thermal disturbance by the ellipsoidal statistical model
The formation of shock waves by a moving piston and the thermal disturbance of a fixed wall by sudden temperature change are studied according to the kinetic theory of gases. The Ellipsoidal Statistical model which gives the correct Prandtl number for a monatomic gas has been solved numerically. …

Existence Results for Plasma Physics Models Containing a Fully Coupled Magnetic Field
… value problem for three nonlinear systems of partial differential equations: the Vlasov-Darwin system, the Vlasov-Poisswell system and a version of the latter which is called the modified Vlasov-Poisswell system. These equations belong to kinetic theory, which has proved useful when …

Kinetic temperature of structures for resilience, instability and failure analysis of building systems
… need for quantitative resilience assessment of buildings which, due to the perils of global warming, are expected to be subject to extreme hazards. To obtain the key input for resilience calculations in the form of structural fragility, we redefine structural mechanics within the context of …

Rates of evaporation of small drops at low pressures
In this research the rates of evaporation of small drops of diamyl sebacate were determined in the range of radii of 0.5 - 2.0 microns and for a range of pressures of 0.5 - 10 cm Hg. An expression is derived for the rate of evaporation and is compared with the rates determined experimentally. From …

On the derivation of non-local diffusion equations in confined spaces
The subject of the thesis is the derivation of non-local diffusion equations from kinetic models with heavy-tailed equilibrium in velocity. We are particularly interested in confining the kinetic equations and developing methods that allow us, from the confined kinetic models, to derive confined …

Buoyancy-thermocapillary convection of volatile fluids in confined and sealed geometries
Convection in a layer of fluid with a free surface due to a combination of thermocapillary stresses and buoyancy is a classic problem of fluid mechanics. It has attracted increasing attentions recently due to its relevance for two-phase cooling. Many of the modern thermal management technologies …
