The motion of long bubbles in tubes

A long bubble of a fluid of negligible viscosity is moving steadily in a tube filled with liquid of viscosity μ at small Reynolds number, the interfacial tension being σ. The an...

Viscous and resistive eddies near a sharp corner

Some simple similarity solutions are presented for the flow of a viscous fluid near a sharp corner between two planes on which a variety of boundary conditions may be imposed. T...

A theory for cerebral neocortex

It is proposed that the learning of many tasks by the cerebrum is based on using a very few fundamental techniques for organizing information. It is argued that this is made pos...

Muffin-tin orbitals and molecular calculations: General formalism

An account is given of a new formalism for calculating energy levels in molecules using techniques that derive from the band theory of metals. After showing how the molecular po...
