High-order geometric integrators for the variational Gaussian wavepacket dynamics and application to vibronic spectra at finite temperature
Molecular quantum dynamics simulations are essential for understanding many fundamental phenomena in physics and chemistry. They often require solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for molecular nuclei, which is challenging even for medium-sized ...
EPFL2024Design of a compliant load cell with adjustable stiffness
Charles Baur, Lennart Rubbert, Michal Stanislaw Smreczak
Manipulation at the sub-micron scale often requires force-sensing capabilities of milli-to nanonewton forces. This article presents a novel design of a compliant load cell with mechanically adjustable stiffness. The system enables adapting force sensitivit ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC2021Energetics and mixing of thermally driven flows in Hele-Shaw cells
Thermally driven flows in fractures play a key role in enhancing the heat transfer and fluid mixing across the Earth’s lithosphere. Yet the energy pathways in such confined environments have not been characterised. Building on Letelier et al. (J. Fluid Mec ...
2021Energetics of Radiatively Heated Ice-Covered Lakes
Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Kraig Bates Winters
We derive the mechanical energy budget for shallow, ice-covered lakes energized by penetrative solar radiation. Radiation increases the available and background components of the potential energy at different rates. Available potential energy drives under- ...
