EPL (Europhysics Letters)

The European Physical Society (EPS) is a not for profit association whose members include 41 National Physical Societies in Europe, individuals from all fields of physics, and European research institutions.

As a learned society, the EPS engages in activities that strengthen ties among the physicists in Europe. As a federation of National Physical Societies, the EPS studies issues of concern to all European countries relating to physics research, science policy and education.

Networks of caustics can occur in the distribution of particles suspended in a randomly moving gas. These can facilitate coagulation of particles by bringing them into close proximity, even in cases where the trajectories do not coalesce. The evolution of these caustic patterns depends upon the Lyapunov exponents λ₁, λ₂ of the suspended particles, as well as the rate J at which particles encounter caustics. We develop a theory determining the quantities J, λ₁, λ₂ from the statistical properties of the gas flow, in the limit of short correlation times.
