A logarithmic oscillator (in short, log-oscillator) behaves like an ideal thermostat because of its infinite heat capacity: When it weakly couples to another system, time averages of the system observables agree with ensemble averages from a Gibbs distribution with a temperature T that is given by the strength of the logarithmic potential. The resulting equations of motion are Hamiltonian and may be implemented not only in a computer but also with real-world experiments, e.g., with cold atoms.

Numerical investigating the impact of fluid properties and oscillation frequency on micro mixer efficiency.
Heliyon
January 2025
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran.
In this research, the impact of differing densities and viscosities of two dissolving fluids on their mixing efficiency, as well as the effects of various excitation frequencies on the performance of the mixer, have been examined. For this purpose, a two-dimensional microchannel equipped with an oscillating circular cylinder was used, operating within a Strouhal number range of 0.1-0.

We present a synchronization transition study of the locally coupled Kuramoto model on extremely large graphs. We compare regular 405 and 1004 lattice results with those of 12,0002 lattice substrates with power-law decaying long links (ll). The latter heterogeneous network exhibits ds>4 spectral dimensions.

The sums of position- and momentum-space mutual information measures are used to examine the pairwise and higher-order statistical correlation in the ground states of N-particle coupled oscillators. Analytical expressions for these measures are shown to be related to the logarithmic interaction energies of these states, plus those of mirror states where the intensities of the one- and two-body potentials are interchanged, and the nature of the attractive or repulsive interaction is opposite to that in the original state. The measures separate the contributions from the interactions and those from the effective interactions due to marginalization into different terms.
