Wehrl entropy of the state in a two-atom Tavis-Cummings model

Debraj Nath, P. K. Das (2011)

Similarity:

In this paper we present an entropic description of quantum state obtained by interaction of one mode of quantized electromagnetic field with two two-level atoms inside a cavity, known as Tavis-Cumming model. Wehrl entropy has been calculated analytically and investigated as a function of the average value of the photon number operator. Husimi's Q function has been calculated and compared with the behaviour of the field entropy.

Hysteresis operators in phase-field models of Penrose-fife type

Pavel Krejčí, Jürgen Sprekels (1998)

Similarity:

Phase-field systems as mathematical models for phase transitions have drawn a considerable attention in recent years. However, while they are suitable for capturing many of the experimentally observed phenomena, they are only of restricted value in modelling hysteresis effects occurring during phase transition processes. To overcome this shortcoming of existing phase-field theories, the authors have recently proposed a new approach to phase-field models which is based on the mathematical...

Relaxation models of phase transition flows

Philippe Helluy, Nicolas Seguin (2006)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this work, we propose a general framework for the construction of pressure law for phase transition. These equations of state are particularly suitable for a use in a relaxation finite volume scheme. The approach is based on a constrained convex optimization problem on the mixture entropy. It is valid for both miscible and immiscible mixtures. We also propose a rough pressure law for modelling a super-critical fluid.
