description: Small finite-size particles suspended in fluid flow through an enclosed curved duct can focus to points or periodic orbits in the two-dimensional duct cross-section. This particle focusing is due to a balance between inertial lift forces arising from axial flow and drag forces arising from cross-sectional vortices. The inertial particle focusing phenomenon has been exploited in various industrial and medical applications to passively separate particles by size using purely hydrodynamic effects. A fixed size particle in a circular duct with a uniform rectangular cross-section can have a variety of particle attractors, such as stable nodes/spirals or limit cycles, depending on the radius of curvature of the duct. Bifurcations occur at different radii of curvature, such as pitchfork, saddle-node and saddle-node infinite period (SNIPER), which result in variations in the location, number and nature of these particle attractors. By using a quasi-steady approximation, we extend the theoretical model of Harding et al. (2019) developed for particle dynamics in circular ducts to spiral duct geometries with slowly varying curvature, and numerically explore the particle dynamics within. Bifurcations of particle attractors with respect to radius of curvature can be traversed within spiral ducts and give rise to rich nonlinear particle dynamics and various types of tipping phenomena, such as bifurcation-induced tipping (B-tipping), rate-induced tipping (R-tipping) and a combination of both, which we explore in detail. We discuss implications of these unsteady dynamical behaviours for particle separation and propose novel mechanisms to separate particles by size in a non-equilibrium manner.

description: We perform the linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulations to study the effect of radius ratio on the instability and flow characteristics of the sheared annular centrifugal Rayleigh-Bénard convection (ACRBC), where the cold inner cylinder and the hot outer cylinder rotate with a small angular velocity difference. With the shear enhancement, the thermal convection is suppressed and finally gets stable for different radius ratios $η\in[0.2, 0.95]$. Considering the inhomogeneous distribution of shear stresses in the base flow, a new global Richardson number $Ri_g$ is defined and the marginal-state curves for different radius ratios are successfully unified in the parameter domain of $Ri_g$ and the Rayleigh number $Ra$. The results are consistent with the marginal-state curve of the wall-sheared classical RBC in the streamwise direction, demonstrating that the basic stabilization mechanisms are identical. Moreover, systems with small radius ratios exhibit greater geometric asymmetry. On the one hand, this results in a smaller equivalent aspect ratio for the system, accommodating fewer convection roll pairs. Fewer roll pairs are more likely to cause a transition in the flow structure during shear enhancement. On the other hand, the shear distribution is more inhomogeneous, allowing for an outward shift of the convection region and the elevation of bulk temperature under strong shear.

description: Under certain symmetry-breaking conditions, a superconducting system exhibits asymmetric critical currents, dubbed the ``superconducting diode effect". Recently, systems with the ideal superconducting diode efficiency or unidirectional superconductivity have received considerable interest. In this work, we report the study of Al-InAs nanowire-Al Josephson junctions under microwave irradiation and magnetic fields. We observe an enhancement of superconducting diode effect under microwave driving, featured by a horizontal offset of the zero-voltage step in the voltage-current characteristic that increases with microwave power. Devices reach the unidirectional superconductivity regime at sufficiently high driving amplitudes. The offset changes sign with the reversal of the magnetic field direction. Meanwhile, the offset magnitude exhibits a roughly linear response to the microwave power in dBm when both the power and the magnetic field are large. The signatures observed are reminiscent of a recent theoretical proposal using the resistively shunted junction (RSJ) model. However, the experimental results are not fully explained by the RSJ model, indicating a new mechanism for unidirectional superconductivity that is possibly related to non-equilibrium dynamics or dissipation in periodically driven superconducting systems.

Wall-wake laws for the mean velocity and the turbulence

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new wall-wake law is proposed for the streamwise turbulence in the outer region of a turbulent boundary layer. The formulation pairs the logarithmic part of the profile (with a slope A_1 and additive constant B_1) to an outer linear part, and it accurately describes over 95% of the boundary layer profile at high Reynolds numbers. Once the slope A_1 is fixed, B_1 is the only free parameter determining the fit. Most importantly, B_1 is shown to be proportional to the wake factor in the wall-wake law for the mean velocity, revealing a previously unsuspected connection between the turbulence and the mean flow.

description:  Los humedales de las ciénegas de Lerma son los más extensos del centro de México y se distinguen por su notable diversidad, con varias especies endémicas a la región. Sin embargo, en el último siglo se ha perdido el 90 % de su cobertura natural, lo que pone en grave riesgo la biodiversidad regional. Ante esta situación, docentes y estudiantes de la Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Unidad Lerma, emprendieron un estudio de 2023 a 2024 para caracterizar la biodiversidad (i.e., algas, arbolado, anfibios, reptiles, aves y mamíferos terrestres) en el campus. Se utilizaron diversos métodos de muestreo según el grupo taxonómico, lo que permitió identificar 26 especies de algas, siete de árboles (dos de ellas invasoras), dos de anfibios y tres de reptiles (de las cuales cuatro están en alguna categoría de riesgo), 90 de aves y siete de mamíferos terrestres. La principal amenaza fue la presencia de perros. Es urgente implementar acciones de manejo y conservación de las áreas verdes, incluidos los humedales, para garantizar que las 12 hectáreas de áreas verdes de la Unidad Lerma sigan siendo un refugio para la biodiversidad regional.

description: We use a special tiling for the hyperbolic $d$-space $\mathbb{H}^d$ for $d=2,3,4$ to construct an (almost) explicit isomorphism between the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{H}^d)$ and $\mathcal{F}(P)\oplus\mathcal{F}(\mathcal{N})$ where $P$ is a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $\mathcal{N}$ a net in $\mathbb{H}^d$ coming from the tiling. This implies that the spaces $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{H}^d)$ and $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{R}^{d})\oplus \mathcal{F}(\mathcal{M})$ are isomorphic for every net $\mathcal{M}$ in $\mathbb{H}^d$. In particular, we obtain that, for $d=2,3,4$, $\mathcal{F}(\mathbb{H}^d)$ has a Schauder basis. Moreover, using a similar method, we also give an explicit isomorphism between $\mathrm{Lip}(\mathbb{H}^{d})$ and $\mathrm{Lip}(\mathbb{R}^d)$.

description: The stransverse mass variable $M_{T2}$ was originally proposed for the study of hadron collider events in which $N=2$ parent particles are produced and then decay semi-invisibly. Here we consider the generalization to the case of $N\ge 3$ semi-invisibly decaying parent particles. We introduce the corresponding class of kinematic variables $M_{TN}$ and illustrate their mathematical properties. Many of the celebrated features of the $M_{T2}$ kinematic endpoint are retained in this more general case, including the ability to measure the mass of the invisible daughter particle from the stransverse mass kink. We describe and validate a numerical procedure for computing $M_{TN}$ in practice. We also identify the configurations of visible momenta which result in nontrivial ($M_{TN}\ne 0$) values, and derive a pure phase-space estimate for the fraction of such events for any $N$.

Big EO data, such as provided by the European Copernicus programme, are a great opportunity for continuous temporally high-frequent global monitoring of the environment. Challenges exist not only in the processing of the big multitemporal data* but also in communicating results in a meaningful anduseful manner, especially for non-EO experts.We present an approach for big EO data analyses in a semantic EO data cube and communicate results using a single-layer RGB (red, green, blue) representation, where each colour represents one of three different user-defined time periods. We focus on change analysis of observed vegetation, but the approach can be used in other applications. The resulting RGB layer serves as an interpretable base map that can be integrated in any GIS or browser interface. Multi-temporal information is encoded in different colour combinations. An adaptable colour cube legend aids interpretation.

Las universidades son centros de educación superior con espacios diversos dentro de las ciudades. Estos centros generalmente tienen espacios relativamente extensos con jardines y arbolados, facilitando la existencia de algunas especies de animales, plantas y otros organismos silvestres y ferales. En el campus de la Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo en Morelia estamos realizando un estudio para registrar las especies de vertebrados que habitan estos espacios. Hasta ahora hemos registrado cuatro especies de anfibios, cinco de reptiles, 54 de aves y 25 de mamíferos. Los taxones que se adaptan a estos nuevos entornos pueden desempeñar funciones ecológicas importantes para la biodiversidad en general y para el bienestar humano en las zonas urbanas.

description: Adjoint methods allow to compute the gradient of a cost function at an expense that is independent of the number of design variables, thus representing an appealing tool to those who deal with large-scale gradient-based optimization processes. However, researchers in the field are currently facing difficulties related to poor convergence and high storage memory

requirements.

Both continuous and discrete adjoints require a fully converged solution to the primal problem. It is argued that, specifically in Computational Fluid Dynamics, the presence of numerical adjustments (e.g. non-orthogonal correctors) and segregated solution algorithms yields a solution that, while acceptable as a mere aerodynamics study, is not accurate enough to produce a robust adjoint system. In the past decade some new PDE discretization schemes have emerged aiming to remove some constraints imposed by classical finite volumes. The main goal is to allow for more freedom in both the physical model (e.g. strong anisotropy in a material property) and its corresponding numerical model (e.g. the possibility to use polyhedral meshes with strongly non-orthogonal and/or non-convex cells), while improving solution accuracy and convergence properties at the same time.

One of such new schemes is known as Mimetic Finite Differences; the present work introduces a specific implementation of it and extends the scheme to cater for convection-diffusion reaction problems. Preliminary numerical results are also included.

description: The volume-filtering of the Navier-Stokes equations allows to consider the effect that particles have on the fluid without further assumptions, but closures arise of which the implications are not fully understood. In the present paper, we carefully study every closure in the volume-filtered fluid momentum equation and investigate their impact on the momentum and energy transfer dependent on the filtering characteristics. We provide an analytical expression for the viscous closure that arises because filter and spatial derivative in the viscous term do not commute. An analytical expression for the regularization of the particle momentum source of a single sphere in the Stokes regime is derived. Furthermore, we propose a model for the subfilter stress tensor, which originates from filtering the advective term. The model for the subfilter stress tensor is shown to agree well with the subfilter stress tensor for small filter widths relative to the size of the particle. We show that the subfilter stress tensor requires modeling and should not be neglected. For small filter widths, we find that the commonly applied Gaussian regularization of the particle momentum source is a poor approximation of the spatial distribution of the particle momentum source, but for larger filter widths the spatial distribution approaches a Gaussian. Furthermore, we propose a modified advective term in the volume-filtered momentum equation that consistently circumvents the common stability issues observed at locally small fluid volume fractions and identify inconsistencies in previous studies of the phase-averaged kinetic energy of the volume-filtered fluid velocity. Finally, we propose a generally applicable form of the volume-filtered momentum equation and its closures based on clear and well-founded assumptions and propose guidelines for point-particle simulations based on the new findings.

description: We study spectral and time variability of accreting massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) at milli-pc separations surrounded by a geometrically thin circumbinary disc. We present the first computed spectral energy distribution (SED) and light curves (LCs) from 3D hyper-Lagrangian resolution hydrodynamic simulations of these systems. We model binaries with mass of $10^6$ M$_\odot$, eccentricities e=0, 0.9 and mass ratio q=0.1,1. The circumbinary disc has initial aspect ratio of 0.1, features an adiabatic equation of state, and evolves under the effect of viscous heating, black body cooling and self gravity. To compute the SED, we consider black body emission from each disc element and we add an X-ray corona with luminosity proportional to that of the mini-discs around each black hole. We find significant variability of the SED, especially at high energies, which translates into LCs displaying modulations of a factor of ~ 2 in optical and of ~ 10 in UV and X-rays. We focus on flux variability in the optical band which will be probed by the Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO). Modulations on the orbital period and half of the orbital period are evident in all systems. In equal mass binaries, we find another longer timescale modulation, linked to an over-density forming at the inner edge of the disc. Considering the VRO properties, we find that equal mass, circular binaries are unlikely to be identified, due to the lack of prominent peaks in their Fourier spectra. Conversely, unequal mass and/or eccentric binaries can be singled out up to z ~ 0.5 (for systems with $L_{\rm bol}\approx10^{42}$ erg s$^{-1}$) and z ~ 2 (for systems with $L_{\rm bol}\approx10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$). Identifying electromagnetic signatures of MBHBs at separations $\sim 10^{-4}-10^{-2}$ pc is crucial for understanding the physics of the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna sources and the origin of the GW background.

description: Frozen water might appear opaque since gas bubbles can get trapped in the ice during the freezing process. They nucleate and then grow near the advancing solidification front, due to the formation of a gas supersaturation region in its vicinity. A delicate interplay between the rate of mass transfer and the rate of freezing dictates the final shapes and sizes of the entrapped gas bubbles. In this work, we experimentally and numerically investigate the initial growth of such gas bubbles that nucleate and grow near the advancing ice front. We show that the initial growth of these bubbles is governed by diffusion and is enhanced due to a combination of the presence of the background gas concentration gradient and the motion of the approaching front. Additionally, we recast the problem into that of mass transfer to a moving spherical object in a homogeneous concentration field, finding good agreement between our experimental data and the existing scaling relations for that latter problem. Lastly, we address how fluid flow around the bubble might further affect this growth and qualitatively explore this through numerical simulations.

description: This study introduces a novel numerical modeling approach aimed at improving the yield and quality of hydrogen-rich syngas through co-pyrolysis in a fluidized bed reactor, using catalytic bed materials. It enhances the understanding of gasification processes and supports the optimization of clean energy production. A key innovation is the development of an affordable, simplified CFD model to predict particle agglomeration in fine iron particles. This model shows potential for scalability, offering reduced costs and computational time, and could be adapted for future investigations into agglomeration in biomass combustion.

description: This is a survey on the theory of adaptive finite element methods (AFEMs), which are fundamental in modern computational science and engineering but whose mathematical assessment is a formidable challenge. We present a self-contained and up-to-date discussion of AFEMs for linear second order elliptic PDEs and dimension d>1, with emphasis on foundational issues. After a brief review of functional analysis and basic finite element theory, including piecewise polynomial approximation in graded meshes, we present the core material for coercive problems. We start with a novel a posteriori error analysis applicable to rough data, which delivers estimators fully equivalent to the solution error. They are used in the design and study of three AFEMs depending on the structure of data. We prove linear convergence of these algorithms and rate-optimality provided the solution and data belong to suitable approximation classes. We also address the relation between approximation and regularity classes. We finally extend this theory to discontinuous Galerkin methods as prototypes of non-conforming AFEMs and beyond coercive problems to inf-sup stable AFEMs.

description: Segmentations are crucial in medical imaging to obtain morphological, volumetric, and radiomics biomarkers. Manual segmentation is accurate but not feasible in the radiologist's clinical workflow, while automatic segmentation generally obtains sub-par performance. We therefore developed a minimally interactive deep learning-based segmentation method for soft-tissue tumors (STTs) on CT and MRI. The method requires the user to click six points near the tumor's extreme boundaries. These six points are transformed into a distance map and serve, with the image, as input for a Convolutional Neural Network. For training and validation, a multicenter dataset containing 514 patients and nine STT types in seven anatomical locations was used, resulting in a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 0.85$\pm$0.11 (mean $\pm$ standard deviation (SD)) for CT and 0.84$\pm$0.12 for T1-weighted MRI, when compared to manual segmentations made by expert radiologists. Next, the method was externally validated on a dataset including five unseen STT phenotypes in extremities, achieving 0.81$\pm$0.08 for CT, 0.84$\pm$0.09 for T1-weighted MRI, and 0.88\pm0.08 for previously unseen T2-weighted fat-saturated (FS) MRI. In conclusion, our minimally interactive segmentation method effectively segments different types of STTs on CT and MRI, with robust generalization to previously unseen phenotypes and imaging modalities.

description: When evaluating research impact, it’s crucial to consider not only traditional publications but also other facets of scientific work. Data and research software are valuable products of research. High-quality software development enables reproducible science, data accessibility, and innovative methodologies, supporting a broader research ecosystem. However, software developers Recognizing software contributions would encourage developers to prioritize functionality, reliability, and usability. On the international level, initiatives like COARA (Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, https://coara.eu/) or HiddenRef (https://hidden-ref.org/) aim to reshape the research evaluation by recognizing diverse contributions, including software development. Similar discussions within HGF lead to establishing a Taskgroup Indicators. The group developed a step-by-step plan for the introduction of new key performance indicators, which was then adopted by the general assembly of the Helmholtz Association. Beginning with 2022, as a first step a simple indicator for software was monitored. The talk describes some results of this attempt and discusses also problems with the approach.(This is part one of our report on our approach to introduce software into research assessment at HGF. The second part describes some new ideas about a more detailed quality indicator for research software and is submitted as #48)
Success and failure of the spreading law for large drops of dense granular suspensions

description: The spreading of large viscous drops of density-matched suspensions of non-Brownian spheres on a smooth solid surface is experimentally investigated at the global drop scale. The focus is on dense suspensions with a solid volume fraction equal to or greater than $40\%$ and for drops larger than the capillary length, i.e. for which the spreading is governed by the balance of gravitational and viscous forces. Our findings indicate that all liquids exhibit a power law behaviour typical of gravity-driven dynamics, albeit with an effective suspension viscosity that is smaller than the bulk value. When the height of the drop is of the order of the particle size, the power law breaks down as the particles freeze while the contact line continues to advance.
