Coexistence of Drift Waves and D'Angelo Modes at Different Position and Frequency in Linear Plasma Device

Minh Quang Tran, Nathan Dupertuis

Experimental plasma discharges in linear PANTA device are studied by Mach probe measurements, providing floating potential, ion saturation current, and parallel flow velocity time evolution, at different radii of the device. Spectral analysis indicates tha ...

Estimation of wave propagation velocity on a channel with smooth and rough bed

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich, Ioan Nistor

Natural hazards such as tsunamis, impulse waves and dam-break waves are rare, but extremely destructive. In recent times, more importance was given to structures that could withstand such events, however, uncertainties still exist in the estimation of wave ...

Understanding the destabilizing role for surface tension in planar shear flows in terms of wave interaction

François Gallaire, Luca Biancofiore

Both surface tension and buoyancy force in stable stratification act to restore perturbed interfaces back to their initial positions. Hence, both are intuitively considered as stabilizing agents. Nevertheless, the Taylor-Caulfield instability is a countere ...

Pore-scale analysis of the minimum liquid film thickness around elongated bubbles in confined gas-liquid flows

John Richard Thome, Alessio Ferrari, Mirco Magnini, Albert Matthias Beisel

The fluid mechanics of elongated bubbles in confined gas-liquid flows in micro-geometries is important in pore-scale flow processes for enhanced oil recovery and mobilization of colloids in unsaturated soil. The efficiency of such processes is traditionall ...

The mouse genome displays highly dynamic populations of KRAB-zinc finger protein genes and related genetic units

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Marco Cassano, Michaël Imbeault, Gabriela Ecco, Annamaria Kauzlaric

KRAB-containing poly-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of transcription factors encoded by mammalian genomes, and growing evidence indicates that they fulfill functions critical to both embryonic development and maintenance of adul ...

Growth and nonlinear response of driven water bells

John Martin Kolinski

A water bell forms when a fluid jet impacts upon a target and separates into a two-dimensional sheet. Depending on the angle of separation from the target, the sheet can curve into a variety of different geometries. We show analytically that harmonic pertu ...

Wave atlas for Swiss lakes: modeling design waves in mountainous lakes.

Azin Amini, Philippe Heller, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

The present study aims to provide a comprehensive wave atlas for Swiss lakes. The atlas is an adequate tool that contains wave characteristics of extreme events derived from numerical calculations. Swiss lakes are surrounded by mountains, and the wind fiel ...

Multiscale methods for wave problems in heterogenous media

Assyr Abdulle, Patrick Henning

In this paper we give a survey on various multiscale methods for the numerical solution of second order hyperbolic equations in highly heterogenous media. We concentrate on the wave equation and distinguish between two classes of applications. First we dis ...

Large-Scale Tsunami Simulations using the Discontinuous Galerkin Method

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Boris Bonev

Discontinuous Galerkin methods have desirable properties, which make them suitable for the com- putation of wave problems. Being parallelizable and hp-adaptive makes them attractive for the simulation of large-scale tsunami propagation. In order to retriev ...
