Ordinary differential equations are coupled with mixed constrained optimization problems when modeling the thermodynamic equilibrium of a system evolving with time. A particular application arises in the modeling of atmospheric particles. Discontinuity poi ...
Several aspects of hadron physics are well described by a simple 5D effective field theory, Baryons arise in this scenario as "large" (and therefore calculable) 5D skyrmions. We extend and reline the existing analysis of this 5D soliton, which is fairly no ...
Conventional laboratory odometer tests were performed to determine the consolidation behaviour of Champlain Sea clays. Odometer permeability tests were also completed for each sample between two of the consolidation steps. The tests lasted 20 to 24 days. T ...
In this paper we present a method for the numerical solution of elliptic problems with multi-scale data using multiple levels of not necessarily nested grids. The method consists in calculating successive corrections to the solution in patches whose discre ...
A numerical method for the simulation of the motion of a glacier in two and three dimensions is presented. Glacier ice is treated as an incompressible viscous fluid. The model equations are based on mass, momentum, energy conservation and a specific rheolo ...
Dam-break floods on steep slopes occur in diverse settings. They may result from failure of either natural or man-made dams, and they have been responsible for the loss of thousands of lives [Costa, 1988]. Recent disasters resulting from dam-break floods o ...
We address two fundamental issues associated with the use of cross-nested logit models. On the one hand, we justify the adequate normalization of the model proposed by Wen and Koppelman (2001). On the other hand, we provide an analysis of the correlation s ...
We study the jamming of bead assemblies placed in a cylindrical container whose bottom is pierced with a circular hole. Their jamming behavior is quantified here by the mean critical diameter, that is the diameter of the hole for which the jamming probabil ...
Theoretical and numerical aspects of multi-scale problems are investigated. On one hand, mathematical analysis is done on a new method for numerically solving problems with multi-scale behavior using multiple levels of not necessarily nested grids. A parti ...
A common feature of the Vlasov equation is that it develops fine-scale filamentation as time evolves, as observed, for example, in global nonlinear simulations of the ion-temperature-gradient instability. From a numerical point of view, it is not trivial t ...
