Mining Relevant Information on the Web: A Clique Based Approach

The role of information management and retrieval in production processes has been gaining in importance in recent years. In this context, the ability to search for and quickly find the small piece of information needed from the huge amount of information available has crucial importance. One category of tools devoted to such a task is represented by search engines.

Acceleration statistics of heavy particles in turbulence

We present the results of direct numerical simulations of heavy particle transport in homogeneous, isotropic, fully developed turbulence, up to resolution 512(3) (R-lambda approximate to 185). Following the trajectories of up to 120 million particles with Stokes numbers, St, in the range from 0.16 to 3.5 we are able to characterize in full detail the statistics of particle acceleration.
