Nonlinear evolution of the centrifugal instability using a semilinear model

We study the nonlinear evolution of the axisymmetric centrifugal instability developing on a columnar anticyclone with a Gaussian angular velocity using a semilinear approach. The model consists of two coupled equations: one for the linear evolution of the ...

Accurate Description of Nuclear Quantum Effects with High-Order Perturbed Path Integrals (HOPPI)

Michele Ceriotti, Venkat Kapil

Imaginary time path-integral (PI) simulations that account for nuclear quantum effects (NQE) beyond the harmonic approximation are increasingly employed together with modern electronic-structure calculations. Existing PI methods are applicable to molecules ...

European traffic on road bridges and recalibration of lambda factor for fatigue verification

Gianluca Bianchi

The evolution of European traffic, combined with the current works of revision of the Eurocode (CEN250 project 2nd Eurocode generation), represents an opportunity to improve the simplified method for fatigue checks (also known as the lambda method) for roa ...

Feedback-free microfluidic oscillator with impinging jets

Philippe Renaud, François Gallaire, Arnaud Bertsch, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Alessandro Bongarzone

The present paper describes a microfluidic oscillator based on facing impinging jets and operating in laminar flow conditions. Using appropriate microchannel configurations, pulsatile liquid flows are generated at the microscale from steady and equal inlet ...

The simulation and classification of contact clusters between rough surfaces

Shijun Yin

The contact area of rough surfaces has a great influence on many mechanical process in tribology. In this report, we used the simulation method to study the contact area between two rough surfaces and its evolution when sliding. We generated artificial sel ...

Computational characteristics and hardware implications of brain tissue simulations

Francesco Cremonesi

Understanding the link between the brain's anatomy and its function through computer simulations of neural tissue models is a widely used approach in computational neuroscience. This technique enables rapid prototyping and testing of hypotheses, allowing r ...

Local climate impact on the energy demand: an analysis at the European scale

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Silvia Coccolo, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Cynthia Houmani, Ismaël Krafess

A reduction by 80% of the greenhouse gas emissions as well as a similar decrease for the final energy consumption is needed to respect the energy strategies and climate objectives at the European scale. To address this issue, we analysed the energy demand ...

Can Venice be saved?

Frédéric Kaplan, Isabella Di Lenardo

Will Venice be inhabitable in 2100? What kinds of policies can we develop to navigate the best scenarios for this floating city? In 2012, the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University Ca’Foscari launched a programme called the Veni ...
