Mean-field transport equations and energy theorem for plasma edge turbulent transport

This paper establishes a mean-field equation set and an energy theorem to provide a theoretical basis in view of the development of self-consistent, physics-based turbulent transport models for mean-field transport codes. A rigorous averaging procedure ide ...

Equilibrium β-limits dependence on bootstrap current in classical stellarators

Jonathan Graves, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Antoine Baillod

While it is important to design stellarators with high magnetohydrodynamic stability β-limit, it is also crucial to ensure that good magnetic surfaces exist in a large range of β values. As β increases, pressure-driven currents perturb the vacuum magnetic ...

Small Obstacle in a Large Polar Flock

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We show that arbitrarily large polar flocks are susceptible to the presence of a single small obstacle. In a wide region of parameter space, the obstacle triggers counterpropagating dense bands leading to reversals of the flow. In very large systems, these ...

Entropic Fokker-Planck kinetic model

Mohammadhossein Gorji

The diffusion limit of kinetic systems has been subject of numerous studies since prominent works of Lebowitz et al. [1] and van Kampen [2]. More recently, the topic has seen a fresh interest from the rarefied gas simulation perspective. In particular, Fok ...

Cryogenic MOSFET Modeling for Large-Scale Quantum Computing

Arnout Lodewijk M Beckers

Promising results of state-of-the-art quantum computers fuel a world-wide effort in academic and private research laboratories to scale up the number of qubits and improve their characteristics in large arrays. To meet the scale-up challenge, innovative mi ...

Gaussian Process Regression for Maximum Entropy Distribution

Mohammadhossein Gorji, Mohsen Sadr

Maximum-Entropy Distributions offer an attractive family of probability densities suitable for moment closure problems. Yet finding the Lagrange multipliers which parametrize these distributions, turns out to be a computational bottleneck for practical clo ...

Coarse-grained entropy production with multiple reservoirs: Unraveling the role of time scales and detailed balance in biology-inspired systems

Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan, Deepak Gupta

A general framework to describe a vast majority of biology-inspired systems is to model them as stochastic processes in which multiple couplings are in play at the same time. Molecular motors, chemical reaction networks, catalytic enzymes, and particles ex ...

First-principles calculations of charge carrier mobility and conductivity in bulk semiconductors and two-dimensional materials

Samuel Poncé, Feliciano Giustino

One of the fundamental properties of semiconductors is their ability to support highly tunable electric currents in the presence of electric fields or carrier concentration gradients. These properties are described by transport coefficients such as electro ...

Entropy production for coarse-grained dynamics

Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan

Systems out of equilibrium exhibit a net production of entropy. We study the dynamics of a stochastic system represented by a Master equation (ME) that can be modeled by a Fokker-Planck equation in a coarse-grained, mesoscopic description. We show that the ...

Kinetic approach to the Schwinger effect during inflation

Oleksandr Sobol

Using the kinetic approach, we study the impact of the charged particle dynamics due to the Schwinger effect on the electric field evolution during inflation. As a simple model of the electric field generation, we consider the kinetic coupling of the elect ...
