We show that large–scale motions of the interstellar gas, such as those associated with galactic density waves, easily develop, over a wide range of scales, shocks and discontinuities which are expected to generate turbulence. The latter is supposed to evoke diffusion of magnetic fields and cosmic rays on scales down to a few parsecs. We suggest that these processes may be of major importance in discussions of interconnections between the observed radio emission of the disks of spiral galaxies and the gas density distribution within them. In particular, we predict that the density of cosmic rays and magnetic field energy must be much less contrasted (on scales of ~1 pc and up to the scales of galactic shocks) than the gas density, hence the synchrotron radio emission is not as contrasted as is predicted under the hypothesis of a fully frozen-in magnetic field.

Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) allows for the simultaneous determination of both size and concentration of nanoparticles in a sample. This study investigates the accuracy of particle size and concentration measurements performed on an LM10 device. For experiments, standard nanoparticles of different sizes composed of two materials with different refractive indices were used. Particle size measurements were found to have a decent degree of accuracy. This fact was verified by the manufacturer-reported particle size—determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM)—as well as by performed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. On the other hand, concentration measurements resulted in overestimation of the particle concentration in majority of cases. Thus, our findings confirmed the accuracy of nanoparticle sizing performed by the LM10 instrument and highlighted the overestimation of particle concentration made by this device. In addition, an approach of swift correction of the results of concentration measurements received for samples is suggested in the presented study.

We have developed a new numerical technique for simulating dusty-gas flows. Our code incorporates gas hydrodynamics, self-gravity and dust drag to follow the dynamical evolution of a dusty-gas medium. We have incorporated several descriptions for the drag between gas and dust phases and can model flows with submillimetre, centimetre and metre size “dust”. We present calculations run on the APAC1 supercomputer following the evolution of the dust distribution in the pre-solar nebula.

In the framework of two-continuum model, the stability of plane-parallel dispersed flows is analyzed. Several flow configurations are considered and several new factors are analyzed. The factors include: particle velocity slip and particle concentration non-uniformity in the main flow, non-Stokesian components of the interphase force and finite volume fraction of the dispersed phase. It is found that the new factors modify significantly the parameters of the fastest growing mode and change the critical Reynolds number of two-phase flows. A method for studying algebraic (non-modal) instability and optimal disturbances to dispersed flows is proposed. While studying the non-modal instability of the dusty-gas boundary-layer flow with a non-uniform particle concentration, we found that the disturbances with the maximum energy gain at a limited time interval are streamwise-elongated structures (streaks). As compared to the flow of a particle-free fluid, optimal disturbances to the dusty-gas flow gain much larger kinetic energy even at the boundary layer width-averaged mass concentration of ten percent, which leads to significant amplification of non-modal instability mechanism due to the presence of suspended particles.

A method of indirectly measuring the temporally varying velocities of both the particulate and gas phases in the nonequilibrium region of a shock wave moving at constant speed in a dusty-gas mixture is described. This method is implemented by using experimental data from shock-induced air flows containing glass beads 40 μm in diameter in a dusty-gas shock-tube facility featuring a large horizontal channel 197 mm high by 76 mm wide with a special dust-injection device. Simultaneous measurements of the shock-front speed with time-of-arrival gauges, particulate concentration by light extinctiometry, and combined particulate concentration and gas density by beta-ray absorption are used in conjunction with two mass conservation laws to provide these indirect two-phase velocity measurements. Direct measurements of the particulate-phase velocity by laser-Doppler velocimetry are also presented for comparison, and the capability of the indirect velocity-measurement method is assessed.
