<? pag\vskip-16pt?> Harnessing linear and angular momenta of light is one of the
cornerstones in modern optics and has found tremendous applications in optical circuits …

The present work is concerned with the lift forces acting on particles immersed in an
unbounded fluid. Both mechanisms due to rotation of the particle and vorticity of the fluid …

In the present study, we investigate flow past a rotating cylinder over a wide range of flow
rarefaction from the early slip through to the free-molecular regime using the direct …

A billiard is a dynamical system in which a point particle alternates between free motion and
specular reflections from the boundary of a domain. Exterior Billiards presents billiards in the …

A spinning ball moving through air experiences a net lift due to the “Magnus effect” resulting
from the pressure difference across its two sides. In this work, with the help of numerical …

Significance Momentum is an important backbone of wave fields such as electromagnetic
waves, matter waves, sound waves, and fluid waves. As the carriers of electromagnetic …

The force and torque on a Janus sphere moving in a rarefied gas with a thermal gradient are
calculated. The regime of large Knudsen number is considered, with the momenta of …

A three-dimensional rarefied-gas flow past a spinning sphere in the transitional and near-
continuum flow regimes is studied numerically. The rarefaction and compressibility effects …

We theoretically investigate the lift forces (including shear lift and rotational lift) experienced
by nonspherical convex particles rotating in a linear shear flow of a rarefied gas, based on …

We study the Magnus effect: deflection of the trajectory of a spinning body moving in a gas. It
is well known that in rarefied gases, the inverse Magnus effect takes place, which means …
