Coupled Snow Cover and Avalanche Dynamics Simulations to Evaluate Wet Snow Avalanche Activity

We present physics-based snowpack simulations for four snow seasons with detailed wet snow avalanche activity records. The distributed, spatially explicit simulations using the Alpine3D and SNOWPACK model show that the simulated snowpack in the release are ...

Transition to turbulence in the rotating disk boundary layer of a rotor–stator cavity

Eunok Yim, Eric Serre

The transition to turbulence in the rotating disk boundary layer is investigated in a closed cylindrical rotor–stator cavity via direct numerical simulation (DNS) and linear stability analysis (LSA). The mean flow in the rotor boundary layer is qualitative ...

Accurate thermal conductivities from optimally short molecular dynamics simulations

Aris Marcolongo, Loris Ercole

The evaluation of transport coefficients in extended systems, such as thermal conductivity or shear viscosity, is known to require impractically long simulations, thus calling for a paradigm shift that would allow to deploy state-of-the-art quantum simulat ...

Quasi-Newton Methods for Real-Time Simulation of Hyperelastic Materials

Ladislav Kavan, Sofien Bouaziz

We present a new method for real-time physics-based simulation supporting many different types of hyperelastic materials. Previous methods such as Position-Based or Projective Dynamics are fast but support only a limited selection of materials; even classi ...

Non-linear simulations of the TCV Scrape-Off Layer

Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Federico Nespoli, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva

To investigate the mechanisms leading to the heat deposition onto the first wall in the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL), we perform dedicated numerical non-linear simulations of the SOL plasma dynamics of a TCV discharge using the GBS code. The simulated parallel h ...

H- ion source for CERN's Linac4 accelerator

Stefano Mattei

Linac4 is the new negative hydrogen ion (H-) linear accelerator of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Its ion source operates on the principle of Radio-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma (RF-ICP) and it is required to provide 50 mA of ...

Phace: Physics-based Face Modeling and Animation

Mark Pauly, Ladislav Kavan, Alexandru Eugen Ichim

We present a novel physics-based approach to facial animation. Contrary to commonly used generative methods, our solution computes facial expressions by minimizing a set of non-linear potential energies that model the physical interaction of passive flesh, ...

Direct numberical simulation of turbulent slope flows up to Grash of number Gr=2.1 x 10(11)

Jiannong Fang, Marc Parlange, Gabriel George Katul, Marco Giovanni Giometto

Stably stratified turbulent flows over an unbounded, smooth, planar sloping surface at high Grashof numbers are examined using direct numerical simulations ( DNS). Four sloping angles ( alpha = 15 degrees; 30 degrees; 60 degrees and 90 degrees) and three G ...

Integrating urban energy simulation in a parametric environment: a Grasshopper interface for CitySim

Marilyne Andersen, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Giuseppe Peronato

The increasing popularity of parametric design tools goes hand in hand with the use of building performance simulation (BPS) tools from the early design phase. However, current methods require a significant computational time and a high number of parameter ...
