Effects of structure formation on the expansion rate of the Universe: An estimate from numerical simulations

Journal Article Xinghai, Zhao ; Center for Astrophysics, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana 46556 ; Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana 46556 ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

General relativistic corrections to the expansion rate of the Universe arise when the Einstein equations are averaged over a spatial volume in a locally inhomogeneous cosmology. It has been suggested that they may contribute to the observed cosmic acceleration. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that utilizes numerical simulations to make a realistic estimate of the magnitude of these corrections for general inhomogeneities in (3+1) spacetime. We then quantitatively calculate the volume averaged expansion rate using N-body large-scale structure simulations and compare it with the expansion rate in a standard FRW cosmology. We find that in the weakmore »« less

The effect of flame structure on soot formation and transport in turbulent nonpremixed flames using direct numerical simulation

Journal Article Lignell, David O ; Reacting Flow Research Department, Combustion Research Facility, Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, CA 94551 ; Chen, Jacqueline H ; ... - Combustion and Flame

Direct numerical simulations of a two-dimensional, nonpremixed, sooting ethylene flame are performed to examine the effects of soot-flame interactions and transport in an unsteady configuration. A 15-step, 19-species (with 10 quasi-steady species) chemical mechanism was used for gas chemistry, with a two-moment, four-step, semiempirical soot model. Flame curvature is shown to result in flames that move, relative to the fluid, either toward or away from rich soot formation regions, resulting in soot being essentially convected into or away from the flame. This relative motion of flame and soot results in a wide spread of soot in the mixture fraction coordinate.more »« less

Effect of inhomogeneities on the expansion rate of the universe

Journal Article Kolb, Edward W ; Matarrese, Sabino ; Notari, Alessio ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

While the expansion rate of a homogeneous isotropic universe is simply proportional to the square-root of the energy density, the expansion rate of an inhomogeneous universe also depends on the nature of the density inhomogeneities. In this paper we calculate to second order in perturbation variables the expansion rate of an inhomogeneous universe and demonstrate corrections to the evolution of the expansion rate. While we find that the mean correction is small, the variance of the correction on the scale of the Hubble radius is sensitive to the physical significance of the unknown spectrum of density perturbations beyond the Hubblemore » radius.« less

Numerical simulations of turbulent molecular clouds regulated by radiation feedback forces. I. Star formation rate and efficiency

Journal Article Raskutti, Sudhir ; Ostriker, Eve C. ; Skinner, M. Aaron, E-mail: raskutti@astro.princeton.edu, E-mail: eco@astro.princeton.edu, E-mail: askinner@astro.princeton.edu - Astrophysical Journal

Radiation feedback from stellar clusters is expected to play a key role in setting the rate and efficiency of star formation in giant molecular clouds. To investigate how radiation forces influence realistic turbulent systems, we have conducted a series of numerical simulations employing the Hyperion radiation hydrodynamics solver, considering the regime that is optically thick to ultraviolet and optically thin to infrared radiation. Our model clouds cover initial surface densities between Σ{sub cl,0}∼10--300 M{sub ⊙} pc{sup −2}, with varying initial turbulence. We follow them through turbulent, self-gravitating collapse, star cluster formation, and cloud dispersal by stellar radiation. All our modelsmore »« less
