Publications related to Non-equilibrium thermodynamics

Marco Meineri, Antonin Tancrède Amaury Rousset

We set up a scattering experiment of matter against an impurity which separates two generic one-dimensional critical quantum systems. We compute the flux of reflected and transmitted energy, thus defining a precise measure of the transparency of the interf ...

Turbulence and flows in the plasma boundary of snowflake magnetic configurations

Paolo Ricci, Louis Nicolas Stenger, Maurizio Giacomin

Results of 3D, flux-driven, global, two-fluid turbulence simulations are presented for the first time in snowflake (SF) configurations, including the ideal SF, SF plus and SF minus configurations. The analysis is focused on the distribution of the heat flu ...

Design space exploration through force-based grammar rule

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Ioannis Mirtsopoulos

Design exploration frames the process of understanding design as a challenge and helps taming its complexity. It is a creative, but also paramount, process, that flourishes diversity, emergence and variability. The approaches used during this exploration s ...

Version 1 of a sea ice module for the physics-based, detailed, multi-layer SNOWPACK model

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Nander Wever

Sea ice is an important component of the global climate system. The presence of a snowpack covering sea ice can strongly modify the thermodynamic behavior of the sea ice, due to the low thermal conductivity and high albedo of snow. The snowpack can be stra ...

Invariant states in inclined layer convection. Part 2. Bifurcations and connections between branches of invariant states

Tobias Schneider, Florian Reetz

Convection in a layer inclined against gravity is a thermally driven non-equilibrium system, in which both buoyancy and shear forces drive spatio-temporally complex flows. As a function of the strength of thermal driving and the angle of inclination, a mul ...

Synthesis of grid compliant substitute natural gas from a representative biogas mixture in a hybrid Ni/Ru catalysed reactor

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Marco Calizzi, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Alexandre Borsay

We demonstrate biogas upgrading towards full CO2 conversion in mild conditions in a three-step reactor system using Ru- and Ni-based catalysts. In each of the three reactor stages, the temperature is carefully controlled, thus optimizing the reaction therm ...

Thermodynamics and kinetics of protonated merocyanine photoacids in water

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Daniel Maria Busiello, Euro Solari, Cristian Pezzato, Stefano Zamuner, Cesare Berton

Metastable-state photoacids (mPAHs) are chemical species whose photo-activated state is long-lived enough to allow for proton diffusion. Liao's photoacid (1) represents the archetype of mPAHs, and is being widely used on account of its unique capability to ...

Quantum kinetic energy and isotope fractionation in aqueous ionic solutions

Michele Ceriotti, Lu Wang

At room temperature, the quantum contribution to the kinetic energy of a water molecule exceeds the classical contribution by an order of magnitude. The quantum kinetic energy (QKE) of a water molecule is modulated by its local chemical environment and lea ...

Microstructure-based modeling of snow using the material point method and finite strain elastoplasticity

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Henning Löwe, Lars Kristoffer Uhlen Blatny, Stephanie Wang

The mechanical response of snow depends on its microstructural geometry. Parameters such as porosity and orientation (degree of anisotropy) are examples of microstructural parameters that can affect snow mechanical properties. Numerical simulations of snow ...
