Toward plasma drifts in EMC3: Implementation of gradient, divergence, and particle tracing schemes

Matthieu Benoit C. Jacobs

This paper presents a first implementation of gradient, divergence, and particle tracing schemes for the EMC3 code, a stochastic 3D plasma fluid code widely employed for edge plasma and impurity transport modeling in tokamaks and stellarators. These scheme ...

Modelling the coevolution of London's population and railway system

Gabriele Manoli, Sara Bonetti

As cities continue to expand it has become crucial to describe their evolution in time and space. Building on analogies with biological systems, we propose a minimalist reaction-diffusion model coupled with economic constraints and an adaptive transport ne ...

Optimizing the utilization of existing vehicle flows in last-mile passenger transport and logistics systems

Patrick Stefan Adriaan Stokkink

The new era of shared economy has raised our expectations to make mobility more sustainable through better utilization of existing resources and capacity. In this thesis, we focus on the design of transport systems that stimulate multi-purpose trips with t ...

Automated mixing of maximally localized Wannier functions into target manifolds

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Junfeng Qiao

Maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) are widely used in electronic-structure calculations. We have recently developed automated approaches to generate MLWFs that represent natural tight-binding sets of atomic-like orbitals; these describe accurate ...

Enhancement of riveted steel bridges by adding a trough in UHPFRC acting in composite action

Eugen Brühwiler

Riveted railway bridges are commonly considered as being “old”, having fatigue damage and are therefore replaced. While this practice should be by now obsolete by using novel engineering methods like structural monitoring, prolongation of the service durat ...

Passenger-centric timetable rescheduling: A user equilibrium approach

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Mohammad Yousef Maknoon, Stefan Yves Gabriel Binder

Unexpected disruptions commonly occur in the railway network, causing delays, and extra cost for operators and inconvenience for passengers by missing their connection and facing overcrowded trains. This paper presents a passenger-centric approach for time ...
