Oblique streaming waves observed in multipactor-induced plasma discharge above a dielectric surface

In a recent discovery (Wen et al 2022 Phys. Rev. Lett. 129 045001), streaming waves were found in multipactor-induced plasma discharges. However, due to the limitations of a 1D simulation setup, these waves displayed only transverse dynamics. In this lette ...

Formation of the cavity on a planar interface subjected to a perturbed shock wave

Naifu Peng, Ho Ling Li, Yue Yang

We report the mechanism and modeling for the formation of cavitylike structures on a planar interface subjected to a perturbed shock wave. The cavity is distinguished from bubbles and spikes formed in the standard Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI). The t ...

Kinetics of information scrambling in correlated metals: Disorder-driven transition from shock wave to Fisher or Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov dynamics

Camille Didier Georges Aron

Quenched disorder slows down the scrambling of quantum information. Using a bottom-up approach, we formulate a kinetic theory of scrambling in a correlated metal near a superconducting transition, following the scrambling dynamics as the impurity scatterin ...

Hemodynamic effects of a dielectric elastomer augmented aorta on aortic wave intensity: An in-vivo study

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Francesco Clavica, Armando Matthieu Walter, Silje Ekroll Jahren, Lorenzo Ferrari

Dielectric elastomer actuator augmented aorta (DEA) represents a novel approach with high potential for assisting a failing heart. The soft tubular device replaces a section of the aorta and increases its diameter when activated. The hemodynamic interactio ...

Effect of femtosecond laser-induced high pressure on fused silica polymorphism

Arunkrishnan Radhakrishnan

High-pressure studies in silica are of great interest to earth and planetary sciences. Highpressure phases are rarely found in nature as a result of shock events like meteorite impacts or volcanic events in nature. Recreating these phases remains a challen ...

Femtosecond laser-shockwave induced densification in fused silica

Yves Bellouard, Pieter Vlugter, Arunkrishnan Radhakrishnan, Julien Gilles Edgar Gateau

A tightly focused femtosecond laser-beam in the non-ablative regime can induce a shockwave sufficiently intense to reach local pressures in the giga-Pascal range or more. In a single beam configuration, the location of the highest-pressure zone is nested w ...

A physics-based model for wind turbine wake expansion in the atmospheric boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Dara Vahidi

Analytical wind turbine wake models are widely used to predict the wake velocity deficit. In these models, the wake growth rate is a key parameter specified mainly with empirical formulations. In this study, a new physics-based model is proposed and valida ...

Entropic Fokker-Planck kinetic model

Mohammadhossein Gorji

The diffusion limit of kinetic systems has been subject of numerous studies since prominent works of Lebowitz et al. [1] and van Kampen [2]. More recently, the topic has seen a fresh interest from the rarefied gas simulation perspective. In particular, Fok ...

A Study of Several Artificial Viscosity Models within the Discontinuous Galerkin Framework

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

Dealing with strong shocks while retaining low numerical dissipation traditionally has been one of the major challenges for high order methods like discontinuous Galerkin (DG). In the literature, shock capturing models have been designed for DG based on va ...

Re-entry survival analysis and ground risk assessment of space debris considering by-products generation

Pénélope Leyland, Stefano Mischler, Seong-Hyeon Park

Space debris that re-enter the Earth's atmosphere can be partially or fully ablated along the trajectory path after hitting the atmosphere layers, once these become denser (approximately below 82 km). This paper combines re-entry survival analysis to by-pr ...

Crack front waves: A 3D dynamic response to a local perturbation of tensile and shear cracks

Jean-François Molinari, Fabian Barras, Damien Spielmann, Fatima-Ezzahra Fekak

Crack front waves are long-lived perturbations propagating along the crack front. They are triggered by heterogeneities on the crack plane, as for instance tough asperities, which disturb the crack front shape. Crack front waves are thought to leave a trac ...

Forces on buildings with openings and orientation in a steady post-tsunami free-surface flow

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich

Steady free-surface flows around buildings occurring during flood or tsunami events can produce major damages and a quantification of the post-peak forces is essential for safety and resilience of coastal structures. The loading process is highly affected ...

Hydrodynamic mechanisms of aggressive collapse events in leading edge cavitation

Mohamed Farhat, Ali Amini

Transient cavities generated from unsteady leading-edge cavitation may undergo aggressive collapses which are responsible for cavitation erosion. In this paper, we studied the hydrodynamic mechanisms of these events in the leading edge cavitation formed ov ...

Design and development of the efficient anguilliform swimming robot- MAR

Auke Ijspeert, Peter Eckert, Anouk Looijestijn

Propulsion of swimming robots at the surface and underwater is largely dominated by rotary propellers due to high thrust, but at the cost of low efficiency. Due to their inherently high speed turning motion, sharp propeller blades and generated noise, they ...

Comparative study between Cubic and Ellipsoidal Fokker-Planck kinetic models

Mohammadhossein Gorji

Motivated by improving the performance of particle-based Monte-Carlo simulations in the transitional regime, Fokker–Planck kinetic models have been devised and studied as approximations of the Boltzmann collision operator. By generalizing the linear drift ...

Dual Comb Generation in a Symmetrically Driven Crystalline Microresonator

Tobias Kippenberg, Erwan Guillaume Albert Lucas, Wenle Weng

We develop a dual-comb system based on a single crystalline microresonator by monochromatically pumping counter-propagating solitons in the same spatial mode with equal powers and unveil the role of soliton Cherenkov radiations interference in the process. ...

A radio ridge connecting two galaxy clusters in a filament of the cosmic web

Claudio Gheller

Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. They grow by accreting smaller structures in a merging process that produces shocks and turbulence in the intracluster gas. We observed a ridge of radio emission connect ...
