Gravitational tides and dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz, Matthew Luke Nichols

The effect of the local environment on the evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies is poorly understood. We have undertaken a suite of simulations to investigate the tidal impact of the Milky Way on the chemodynamical evolution of dwarf spheroidals that res ...

The Smith Cloud and its dark matter halo: survival of a Galactic disc passage

Matthew Luke Nichols

Under conservative assumptions about the Galaxy, the derived velocity of the Smith Cloud indicates that it will have undergone at least one passage of the Galactic disc. Using hydrodynamic simulations, we examine the present-day structure of the Smith Clou ...

Influence of tides and waves on the fate of nutrients in a nearshore aquifer: Numerical simulations

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

A numerical investigation is presented that demonstrates the influence of tides and waves on the transport and transformation of nutrients (NO3-; NH4+; PO43-) in a homogeneous unconfined nearshore aquifer and subsequent fluxes to the sea. Simulations of an ...

Electric-Field-Induced Skyrmion Distortion and Giant Lattice Rotation in the Magnetoelectric Insulator Cu2OSeO3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Helmuth Berger, Ping Huang, Arash Alahgholipour Omrani, Jonathan White, Krunoslav Prsa

Uniquely in Cu2OSeO3, the Skyrmions, which are topologically protected magnetic spin vortexlike objects, display a magnetoelectric coupling and can be manipulated by externally applied electric (E) fields. Here, we explore the E-field coupling to the magne ...

The interface mixing layer and the tidal dynamics at the eastern part of the Strait of Gibraltar

Elisa Bruque Pozas

A non-hydrostatic numerical model forced by tides has been adapted to the Strait of Gibraltar area to investigate the dynamics of the interface layer in the eastern part of the strait, namely the area that extends from the main sill of Camarinal to the eas ...

Statistical mechanics of wind wave-induced erosion in shallow tidal basins: Inferences from the Venice Lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo

Wind wave-induced erosional effects are among the chief landscape-forming processes in tidal biomorphodynamics. Wave-driven bottom erosion, in fact, controls the equilibrium elevation and dynamics of subtidal and tidal flat surfaces, and the impact of wave ...

Tidal influence on soil conditions in an intertidal creek-marsh system

David Andrew Barry

To understand better how tides affect the soil conditions of salt marshes, pore-water flow in a modeled 3-D creek-marsh system was simulated under the influence of both monochromatic and spring-neap tides. In analyzing the simulation results, we examined s ...

Effects of LHRF on toroidal rotation in Alcator C-Mod plasmas

Christian Gabriel Theiler

Application of lower hybrid range of frequencies (LHRF) waves can induce both co- and counter-current directed changes in toroidal rotation in Alcator C-Mod plasmas, depending on the target plasma current, electron density, confinement regime and magnetic ...
