Adaptive variational low-rank dynamics for open quantum systems

We introduce a model-independent method for the efficient simulation of low-entropy systems, whose dynamics can be accurately described with a limited number of states. Our method leverages the time-dependent variational principle to efficiently integrate ...

Pressure-freezing of dodecane: exploring the crystal structures, formation kinetics and phase diagrams for colossal barocaloric effects in n-alkanes

Tomasz Poreba

Barocaloric (BC) materials provide cheaper and more energy efficient alternatives to traditional refrigerants. Some liquid alkanes were recently shown to exhibit a colossal BC effect, matching the entropy changes in commercial vapour-liquid refrigerants. D ...

Formation of the cavity on a planar interface subjected to a perturbed shock wave

Naifu Peng, Ho Ling Li, Yue Yang

We report the mechanism and modeling for the formation of cavitylike structures on a planar interface subjected to a perturbed shock wave. The cavity is distinguished from bubbles and spikes formed in the standard Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI). The t ...

Cavitation bubble dynamics and microjet atomization near tissue-mimicking materials

Mohamed Farhat, Davide Bernardo Preso, Armand Baptiste Sieber

In recent years, considerable interest has been devoted to the interactions between cavitation bubbles and tissue-mimicking materials due to their promising applications in medicine and biomedical sciences. The strong fluid-structure interaction between a ...

Measurement and modelling of dynamic fluid saturation in carbon reinforcements

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros, Guillaume Clément Broggi

We propose a methodology to monitor the progressive saturation of a non-translucent unidirectional carbon fabric stack through its thickness by means of X-ray radiography and extract the dynamic saturation curves using image analysis. Four constant flow ra ...

Fourier Collocation and Reduced Basis Methods for Fast Modeling of Compressible Flows

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Deep Ray

A projection-based reduced order model (ROM) based on the Fourier collocation method is proposed for compressible flows. The incorporation of localized artificial viscosity model and filtering is pursued to enhance the robustness and accuracy of the ROM fo ...

Model order reduction for compressible flows solved using the discontinuous Galerkin methods

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven

Projection-based reduced order models (ROM) based on the weak form and the strong form of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method are proposed and compared for shock-dominated problems. The incorporation of dissipation components of DG in a consistent manne ...

Numerical and experimental investigation of spiral-grooved gas journal bearings

Elia Iseli

Small-scale turbomachinery is increasingly used in carbon-free energy conversion systems, such as commercial or domestic scale heat pumps, fuels cells for transportation and waste heat recovery. The usage of aerodynamic bearings allows the design of compac ...

Flow pattern observations and flow pattern map for adiabatic two-phase flow of carbon dioxide in vertical upward and downward direction

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Rémi Revellin, David Schmid

A test facility to investigate flow pattern transitions of vertical two-phase flow of CO2 has been built within the scope of the high-luminosity detector upgrades at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Adiabatic flow pattern observations ...
