In a previous paper (C. Wagner et al., Phys. Rev. E 54 (1996) 5073), we derived a macroscopic traffic model from a Boltzmann-like equation by neglecting third- and higher-order cumulants. To find higher-order approximations, we now employ a Chapman-Enskog expansion to calculate the third-order...

We present experimental results of the flow of dilute and semi-dilute polymer solutions in co-rotating Taylor–Couette cylinders. The experimental set-up consists of a modified Mars II rheometer (Thermo Scientific) with two drive units that are mounted opposite each other. The rotational...

India seems to qualify as a soft power by default with her democratic tradition, Mahatma Gandhi with his concept of non-violence and peaceful conflict mediation as national hero and Bollywood as a quasiglobal dream fabric. The high economic growth rates since the liberalisation in 1991 have...
