On one hand, observational evidence corroborating this phenomenon is compelling and continuously becoming stronger and stronger. On the other hand a physical explanation for it is still missing. Cosmic accel- eration might be explained by a cosmological constant having the same effect of vacuum energy. Indeed cosmological observations point in this direction and the cosmological constant is a cornerstone of the standard cosmological model. This explanation, however, suffers from several naturalness problems that re- flect the fact that, while a cosmological constant is allowed in the gravitational sector by symmetry arguments, there is no theory for the gravitational effect of quantum vacuum. To address this issue, or at least to have an intuition of the phenomenology related to the solution of this problem, one might want to add other dark fluids to the cosmic budget or modify the laws of gravity on large scales to drive the accelerated expansion of the universe. In this thesis we develop and exploit a threefold approach to the study of the phenomenological aspects of cosmic acceleration with the aim of systematizing the investigation of models beyond the standard one. The first path that we shall follow is that of quantifying the level of agreement of cosmological observations, within the standard cosmological model; this will allow us to determine whether there is already some indication that this model might be inappropriate in describing present day observations. Then we shall move along the second path to study parametrized approaches to the phenomenology of Dark Energy and Modified Gravity theories. We de- velop the relevant tools to exploit an Effective Field Theory description for this phenomenon and we investigate some of its observational consequences. At last we shall move along the third path that consists in testing specific non-standard models. Exploiting the unifying power of the Effective Field The- ory approach, we study the cosmological implications and corresponding data constraints on two f(R) models and on Hoˇrava gravity. Overall we find that, already at present, cosmological observations are precise enough to substantially improve our knowledge about the space of Dark Energy and Modified Gravity models. While doing so we developed the relevant tools to perform massive and systematic studies of non-standard cosmologies aiming at explaining the physical origin of Cosmic Acceleration with present data and the next generation of cosmological surveys. v vi ABSTRACT Collaborations This thesis is the result of the research done during my four years of Ph.D. and of collaborations with C.

  • Lecture 1: Introduction

    Lecture 1: Introduction

    Lecture 1: Introduction E. J. Hinch Non-Newtonian fluids occur commonly in our world. These fluids, such as toothpaste, saliva, oils, mud and lava, exhibit a number of behaviors that are different from Newtonian fluids and have a number of additional material properties. In general, these differences arise because the fluid has a microstructure that influences the flow. In section 2, we will present a collection of some of the interesting phenomena arising from flow nonlinearities, the inhibition of stretching, elastic effects and normal stresses. In section 3 we will discuss a variety of devices for measuring material properties, a process known as rheometry. 1 Fluid Mechanical Preliminaries The equations of motion for an incompressible fluid of unit density are (for details and derivation see any text on fluid mechanics, e.g. [1]) @u + (u · r) u = r · S + F (1) @t r · u = 0 (2) where u is the velocity, S is the total stress tensor and F are the body forces. It is customary to divide the total stress into an isotropic part and a deviatoric part as in S = −pI + σ (3) where tr σ = 0. These equations are closed only if we can relate the deviatoric stress to the velocity field (the pressure field satisfies the incompressibility condition). It is common to look for local models where the stress depends only on the local gradients of the flow: σ = σ (E) where E is the rate of strain tensor 1 E = ru + ruT ; (4) 2 the symmetric part of the the velocity gradient tensor. The trace-free requirement on σ and the physical requirement of symmetry σ = σT means that there are only 5 independent components of the deviatoric stress: 3 shear stresses (the off-diagonal elements) and 2 normal stress differences (the diagonal elements constrained to sum to 0).

    A Fluid Is Defined As a Substance That Deforms Continuously Under Application of a Shearing Stress, Regardless of How Small the Stress Is

    FLUID MECHANICS & BIOTRIBOLOGY CHAPTER ONE FLUID STATICS & PROPERTIES Dr. ALI NASER Fluids Definition of fluid: A fluid is defined as a substance that deforms continuously under application of a shearing stress, regardless of how small the stress is. To study the behavior of materials that act as fluids, it is useful to define a number of important fluid properties, which include density, specific weight, specific gravity, and viscosity. Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance and is denoted by the Greek character ρ (rho). The SI units for ρ are kg/m3. Specific weight is defined as the weight per unit volume of a substance. The SI units for specific weight are N/m3. Specific gravity S is the ratio of the weight of a liquid at a standard reference temperature to the o weight of water. For example, the specific gravity of mercury SHg = 13.6 at 20 C. Specific gravity is a unit-less parameter. Density and specific weight are measures of the “heaviness” of a fluid. Example: What is the specific gravity of human blood, if the density of blood is 1060 kg/m3? Solution: ⁄ ⁄ Viscosity, shearing stress and shearing strain Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. It describes the internal friction of a moving fluid. A fluid with large viscosity resists motion because its molecular makeup gives it a lot of internal friction. A fluid with low viscosity flows easily because its molecular makeup results in very little friction when it is in motion. Gases also have viscosity, although it is a little harder to notice it in ordinary circumstances.

    7. Fluid Mechanics

    7. Fluid mechanics Introduction In this chapter we will study the mechanics of fluids. A non-viscous fluid, i.e. fluid with no inner friction is called an ideal fluid. The stress tensor for an ideal fluid is given by T1= −p , which is the most simplest form of the stress tensor used in fluid mechanics. A viscous material is a material for which the stress tensor depends on the rate of deformation D. If this relation is linear then we have linear viscous fluid or Newtonian fluid. The stress tensor for a linear viscous fluid is given by T = - p 1 + λ tr D 1 + 2μ D , where λ and μ are material constants. If we assume the fluid to be incompressible, i.e. tr D 1 = 0 and the stress tensor can be simplified to contain only one material coefficient μ . Most of the fluids can not be modelled by these two simple types of stress state assumption and they are called non-Newtonian fluids. There are different types of non-Newtonian fluids. We have constitutive models for fluids of differential, rate and integral types. Examples non-Newtonian fluids are Reiner-Rivlin fluids, Rivlin-Ericksen fluids and Maxwell fluids. In this chapter we will concentrate on ideal and Newtonian fluids and we will study some classical examples of hydrodynamics. 7.1 The general equations of motion for an ideal fluid For an arbitrary fluid (liquid or gas) the stress state can be describe by the following constitutive relation, T1= −p (7.1) where p= p (r ,t) is the fluid pressure and T is the stress.

The density (rv ,t) is a scalar field in the sense that it has a scalar value at every point, while the velocity v (rv ,t) is a vector field, since it has a direction as well as a magnitude at every point. Fig. 1: A surface element at a point in a continuum. The surface stress is a more complicated type of quantity. The reason for this is that one cannot talk of the stress at a point without first defining the particular surface through v that point on which the stress acts. A small fluid surface element centered at the point r is defined by its area A (the prefix indicates an infinitesimal quantity) and by its outward v v unit normal vector n .

    Lecture 3: Simple Flows

    Lecture 3: Simple Flows E. J. Hinch In this lecture, we will study some simple flow phenomena for the non-Newtonian fluid. From analyzing these simple phenomena, we will find that non-Newtonian fluid has many unique properties and can be quite different from the Newtonian fluid in some aspects. 1 Pipe flow of a power-law fluid The pipe flow of Newtonian fluid has been widely studied and well understood. Here, we will analyze the pipe flow of non-Newtonian fluid and compare the phenomenon with that of the Newtonian fluid. We consider a cylindrical pipe, where the radius of the pipe is R and the length is L. The pressure drop across the pipe is ∆p and the flux of the fluid though the pipe is Q (shown in Figure 1). Also, we assume that the flow in the pipe is steady, uni-directional and uniform in z. Thus, the axial momentum of the fluid satisfies: dp 1 @(rσ ) 0 = − + zr : (1) dz r @r dp ∆p Integrate this equation with respect to r and scale dz with L , we have: r σzr = σ ; (2) R wall ∆pR where σwall represents the stress on the wall and is given by σwall = 2L . For the power-law fluid, the constitutive equation is: n σzr = kγ_ ; (3) L R Q P Figure 1: Pipe flow 28 n = 1 n<1 Figure 2: Flow profile where k is a constant and γ_ is the scalar strain rate.

    Edmund Bertschinger Southern Skies and Cosmic Questions how big is the observable universe? what is it made of? why does space repel itself? n January 2006—the middle of summer in the i Southern hemisphere—a bus full of MIT alumni, family, and friends ascended a narrow, winding dirt road through the coastal range of Chile up to 2400 meters (8000 feet) elevation. After visiting European and American national observatory sites during the preceding days, the group figure 1 Wide-angle view of the Southern sky was eager to see the private observatory of which MIT is a part- taken from the Andes Mountains of Argentina on January 28, 2007. Visible ner: the Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory. Only are Comet McNaught, the brightest comet in over 40 years; the splotchy Milky Way; and one traveler in the group had been there before: five years earlier, our two satellite galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds.

The author, serving as a scientific tour guide, was excited to arrive finally at the facility his colleague, MIT Magellan director Prof. Paul Schechter, had helped design and commission. After traveling a week through Northern Chile we had reached the summit of a remarkable trip. C H i L E — a th i n st r i P of L a n d between the Pacific Ocean and the crest of the Andes—is an astronomical mecca. The cold Humboldt ocean current flow- ing northward from Antarctica keeps the marine clouds low against the wall of coastal mountains.
