ALMOST EVERYWHERE NONUNIQUENESS OF INTEGRAL CURVES FOR DIVERGENCE-FREE SOBOLEV VECTOR FIELDS

We construct divergence-free Sobolev vector fields in C([0,1];W-1,W-r(T-d;Rd)) with r < d and d\geq 2 which simultaneously admit any finite number of distinct positive solutions to the continuity equation. These vector fields are then shown to have at leas ...

Diversity of radial spin textures in chiral materials

Oleg Yazyev, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez, Alberto Crepaldi

We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at the high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by nonpolar chiral point groups (D2, D3, D4, D6, T, O). Based on the symmetry constraints imposed by these point g ...

High-order accurate well-balanced energy stable adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the shallow water equations with non-flat bottom topography

Zhenying Zhang, Junming Duan

This paper proposes high-order accurate well-balanced (WB) energy stable (ES) adaptive moving mesh finite difference schemes for the shallow water equations (SWEs) with non flat bottom topography. To enable the construction of the ES schemes on moving mesh ...

Predicting Ion Diffusion from the Shape of Potential Energy Landscapes

Berend Smit, Senja Dominique Barthel, Amber Kashan Mace

We present an efficient method to compute diffusion coefficients of multiparticle systems with strong interactions directly from the geometry and topology of the potential energy field of the migrating particles. The approach is tested on Li-ion diffusion ...

Protein Dielectrophoresis with Gradient Array of Conductive Electrodes Sheds New Light on Empirical Theory

Olivier Martin, Siarhei Zavatski

Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a versatile tool for the precise microscale manipulation of a broad range of substances. To unleash the full potential of DEP for the manipulation of complex molecular-sized particulates such as proteins requires the development ...

Universal machine learning for the response of atomistic systems to external fields

Yaolong Zhang

Machine learned interatomic interaction potentials have enabled efficient and accurate molecular simulations of closed systems. However, external fields, which can greatly change the chemical structure and/or reactivity, have been seldom included in curren ...

On the commutativity of flows of rough vector fields

Maria Colombo, Riccardo Tione

In the class of Sobolev vector fields in R-n of bounded divergence, for which the theory of DiPerna and Lions provides a well defined notion of flow, we characterize the vector fields whose flow commutes in terms of the Lie bracket and of a regularity cond ...

Polymer Translocation through Nanometer Pores

Maria-Alexandra Paun

In this paper the loaded polymer transport and its escape via a nanometer size aperture, virtually by nanomembrane, the polymer being moved by an exterior electrostatic field, has been studied. Assuming a linear dependency of the friction coefficient on th ...

A comprehensive framework for hard-magnetic beams: Reduced-order theory, 3D simulations, and experiments

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, Dong Yan, Arefeh Abbasi

Thin beams made of magnetorheological elastomers embedded with hard-magnetic particles (hard-MREs) are capable of large deflections under an applied magnetic field. We propose a comprehensive framework, comprising a beam model and 3D finite element modelin ...

Lagrangian Discretization Of Crowd Motion And Linear Diffusion

Federico Stra

We study a model of crowd motion following a gradient vector field, with possibly additional interaction terms such as attraction/repulsion, and we present a numerical scheme for its solution through a Lagrangian discretization. The density constraint of t ...

Automated Multiscale Approach To Predict Self-Diffusion from a Potential Energy Field

Berend Smit, Senja Dominique Barthel, Amber Kashan Mace

For large-scale screening studies there is a need to estimate the diffusion of gas molecules in nanoporous materials more efficiently than (brute force) molecular dynamics. In particular for systems with low diffusion coefficients molecular dynamics can be ...

Sur quelques équations aux dérivées partielles en lien avec le lemme de Poincaré

David Valentin Strütt

In this thesis, we study two distinct problems. The first problem consists of studying the linear system of partial differential equations which consists of taking a k-form, and applying the exterior derivative 'd' to it and add the wedge product with a 1- ...

Theory of the Drift-Wave Instability at Arbitrary Collisionality

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

A numerically efficient framework that takes into account the effect of the Coulomb collision operator at arbitrary collisionalities is introduced. Such a model is based on the expansion of the distribution function on a Hermite-Laguerre polynomial basis t ...

Generalized resolution matrix for neutron spin-echo three-axis spectrometers

Thomas Keller, Felix Groitl

This article describes the energy resolution of spin-echo three-axis spectrometers (SE-TASs) by a compact matrix formalism. SE-TASs allow one to measure the line widths of elementary excitations in crystals, such as phonons and magnons, with an energy reso ...

RANS computations of a confined cavitating tip-leakage vortex

Mohamed Farhat, Matthieu Dreyer

Cavitating tip-leakage vortices appear in several hydrodynamic flows such as marine propellers or Kaplan turbines. Cavitating computations are a challenging topic since several keys issues are an ongoing work such as the definition of a universal mass sour ...

Some Remarks on the Lie Derivative and the Pullback Equation for Contact Forms

Bernard Dacorogna, Olivier Kneuss

Given the contact forms f and g, and the 1-form h, we discuss the existence of a vector field u verifying L-u(f)= d(u (right perpendicular) f)+ u (right perpendicular) df = h. This is closely related to the pullback equation, where we seek for a diffeomorp ...

Formulation of the Field-to-Transmission Line Coupling Equations in Terms of Scalar and Vector Potentials

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

More than 60 years ago, Prof. S. Rusck introduced a coupling model to take into account the interaction of lightning-generated electromagnetic fields with overhead power transmission and distribution lines. The model which assumes that the ground is perfec ...

A vector field method on the distorted Fourier side and decay for wave equations with potentials

Joachim Krieger, Roland Donninger

We study the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional wave equation

\partial_t^2 u(t,x)-\partial_x^2 u(t,x)+V(x)u(t,x)=0.

The potential
