Constant-pressure nested sampling with atomistic dynamics

The nested sampling algorithm has been shown to be a general method for calculating the pressure-temperature-composition phase diagrams of materials. While the previous implementation used single-particle Monte Carlo moves, these are inefficient for conden ...

Thermoelasticity of Fe3+- and Al-bearing bridgmanite: Effects of iron spin crossover

Matteo Cococcioni

We report ab initio (LDA + U-sc) calculations of thermoelastic properties of ferric iron (Fe3+)- and aluminum (Al)-bearing bridgmanite (MgSiO3 perovskite), the main Earth forming phase, at relevant pressure and temperature conditions and compositions. Thre ...

On the stabilizing effects of neck-in, gravity, and inertia in Newtonian film casting

Mathias Simon Daniel Bechert

We investigate the influence of the reduction of width along the stretching direction, the so-called neck-in effect, on the draw resonance instability in Newtonian film casting using a linear stability analysis of a model of reduced dimensionality includin ...

Contained density currents with high volume of release

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Quentin Theiler

Contained density currents with high volume of release reflect against the boundaries of the reception environment commonly leading to oscillatory flow. These flows exist in sediment clarifiers, compromising their operations, and deposited signatures of co ...

Experimental assessment of the speed of light perturbation in free-fall absolute gravimeters

Sergey Sibiryakov, Diego Blas Temino

Precision absolute gravity measurements are growing in importance, especially in the context of the new definition of the kilogram. For the case of free fall absolute gravimeters with a Michelson-type interferometer tracking the position of a free falling ...

Buoyant turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) production in katabatic flow despite stable thermal stratification

Marc Parlange, Chad Higgins, Holly Jayne Oldroyd, Eric Richard Pardyjak

As micrometeorological research shifts to increasingly non-idealized environments, the lens through which we view classical atmospheric boundary layer theory must also shift to accommodate unfamiliar behavior. We present observations of katabatic flow over ...

Practical mapping of the draw resonance instability in film casting of Newtonian fluids

Mathias Simon Daniel Bechert

The influence of viscosity and inlet velocity on the draw resonance instability of film casting processes is quantitatively analysed. By linear stability analysis of a Newtonian model including inertia and gravity effects, stability curves for different co ...

The quest for the most spherical bubble: experimental setup and data overview

Mohamed Farhat, Nicolas Dorsaz, Danail Obreschkow, Philipp Kobel, Aurèle De Bosset, Marc Tinguely

We describe a recently realized experiment producing the most spherical cavitation bubbles today. The bubbles grow inside a liquid from a point plasma generated by a nanosecond laser pulse. Unlike in previous studies, the laser is focussed by a parabolic m ...

The alpha-theorem and the asymptotics of 4D quantum field theory

Riccardo Rattazzi

We study the possible IR and UV asymptotics of 4D Lorentz invariant unitary quantum field theory. Our main tool is a generalization of the Komargodski-Schwimmer proof for the alpha-theorem. We use this to rule out a large class of renormalization group flo ...

The effect of pressure gradient on the collapse of cavitation bubbles in normal and reduced gravity

Marc Tinguely

When water flows through hydraulic turbomachines, the local pressure can become low enough to vaporize the water and create vapor cavities. This phenomenon is called cavitation. When the cavities collapse, shock waves and liquid jets traveling through the ...
