Surface-induced vibrational energy redistribution in methane/surface scattering depends on catalytic activity

Rainer Beck, Christopher Scott Reilly, Patrick Floss

Recent state-to-state experiments of methane scattering from Ni(111) and graphene-covered Ni(111) combined with quantum mechanical simulations suggest an intriguing correlation between the surface-induced vibrational energy redistribution (SIVR) during the ...

Horizontal transport under wind-induced resonance in stratified waterbodies

Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Serban George Constantinescu, Kyoung Sik Chang

Periodic winds acting on a stratified waterbody can amplify normal modes of motion and enhance the basin-scale circulation via resonance. Here, we use idealized largeeddy simulations to investigate the flow features and quantify the horizontal transport in ...

Analysis of Spiral-Grooved Gas Journal Bearings by the Narrow-Groove Theory and the Finite Element Method At Large Eccentricities

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat, Elia Iseli

A finite groove approach (FGA), based on the finite element method (FEM), is used for analyzing the static and dynamic behavior of spiral-grooved aerodynamic journal bearings at different eccentricities, number of grooves, and compressibility numbers. The ...

Effect of the tangential NBI current drive on the stability of pressure and energetic particle driven MHD modes in LHD plasma

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Joao Varela

The aim of the present study is to analyze the stability of the pressure gradient driven modes (PM) and Alfven eigenmodes (AE) in the large helical device (LHD) plasma if the rotational transform profile is modified by the current drive of the tangential n ...

An adaptive GNSS-based reduced dynamic approach for real time autonomous navigation from the Earth to the Moon

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano, Paul David Blunt, Endrit Shehaj

In this research study we describe our last effort in further improving the achievable Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based navigation performance in an Earth-Moon Transfer Orbit (MTO). The GNSS-based orbital filter we implemented previously wit ...

Rayleigh-Taylor instability under an inclined plane

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun, Pierre Rieu

We revisit the canonical Rayleigh-Taylor instability and investigate the case of a thin film of fluid upon the underside of an inclined plane. The presence of a natural flow along the plane competes with the conventional droplet forming instability. In par ...

Collisionless microtearing modes in hot tokamaks: Effect of trapped electrons

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner

Collisionless microtearing modes have recently been found linearly unstable in sharp temperature gradient regions of large aspect ratio tokamaks. The magnetic drift resonance of passing electrons has been found to be sufficient to destabilise these modes a ...

Silicon isotopes in angrites and volatile loss in planetesimals

James Badro

Inner solar system bodies, including the Earth, Moon, and asteroids, are depleted in volatile elements relative to chondrites. Hypotheses for this volatile element depletion include condensation from the solar nebula and volatile loss during energetic impa ...

Planck 2013 results. VII. HFI time response and beams

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

This paper characterizes the effective beams, the effective beam window functions and the associated errors for the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) detectors. The effective beam is the angular response including the effect of the optics, detectors, ...

The structure of the asteroid 4 Vesta as revealed by models of planet-scale collisions

Philippe Gillet

Asteroid 4 Vesta seems to be a major intact protoplanet, with a surface composition similar to that of the HED (howardite-eucrite-diogenite) meteorites(1-4). The southern hemisphere is dominated by a giant impact scar(5), but previous impact models(6-8) ha ...
