Optical momentum transfer to macroscopic media
Persistent conflicts over the momentum of light in media has led researchers to apply an alternate approach to predicting the electromagnetic force on material. Direct application of the Lorentz force to media allows for the computation of electromagnetic forces while avoiding a priori assumptions …

Charge and momentum transfer processes for gas-phase nanoparticles.
Charge and momentum transfer processes between aerosol particles and gas molecules proceed via collisions. There is a need to better understand such collision driven phenomena in order to predict particle dynamics and growth processes. This dissertation consists of two research projects focusing on …

Nuclear Fragmentation Energy and Momentum Transfer Distributions in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
<p>An optical model description of energy and momentum transfer in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, based upon composite particle multiple scattering theory, is presented. Transverse and longitudinal momentum transfers to the projectile are shown to arise from the real and absorptive part of the …

The Effects of Particles Momentum Transfer in Shock Wave/Boundary Layer Interaction
… performed in order to observe and understand the momentum transfer effects between solid and gas phases in shock-wave / boundary layer interaction. Particle size and mass loading were varied to study the problem. It was found that solid particles were capable of significant modulation of the flow …

Improving the performance of aerofoil sections using momentum transfer via a secondary flow
… on the suction side of aerofoil sections through momentum transfer via a secondary flow. The secondary flow was achieved by air passing through an air breathing device (ABD) which was implemented in the aerofoil surface. This resulted in an almost tangential and uni-directional fluid interaction. …

Recoil polarization measurements of the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio to high momentum transfer
… form factors are functions of the squared four-momentum transfer Q2 between the electron and the proton. The two main classes of observables of this reaction are the scattering cross section and polarization asymmetries, both of which are sensitive to the form factors in different ways. When …

The Mechanics Of Momentum Transfer From Explosive Charges Buried In Water, In Sand, And In Sand With Fines
… experiments were examined which involved momentum transfer from buried gram scale explosive charges to rigid structures initially suspended above the surface of the water or soil. Associated computations were performed using an arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) finite element method. The …
