We investigate the vorticity of the IGM velocity field on large scales with cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of the concordance model of LCDM. We show that the vorticity field is significantly increasing with time as it can effectively…
The precise mechanism that forms jets and large-scale vortices on the giant planets is unknown. An inverse cascade has been suggested. Alternatively, energy may be directly injected by small-scale convection. Our aim is to clarify whether…
We develop an analytical forward model based on perturbation theory to predict the redshift-space galaxy overdensity at the field level given a realization of the initial conditions. We find that the residual noise between the model and…
Residual velocity dispersion in cold dark matter induces stresses which lead to effects that are absent in the idealized dust model. A previous Newtonian analysis showed how this approach can provide a theoretical foundation for the…
We investigate incompressible, inviscid vorticity dynamics on a rotating unit sphere using a Discrete Exterior Calculus (DEC) scheme. For a prescribed initial vorticity distribution, we vary the rate of rotation of the sphere from zero…
In the absence of rotation and shear, and under the assumption of constant temperature or specific entropy, purely potential forcing by localized expansion waves is known to produce irrotational flows that have no vorticity. Here we study…
Accurate prediction of a dense spray using an Euler-Lagrange approach is challenging because of high volume fraction of the dispersed phase due to subgrid cluster of droplets. To accurately model dense sprays, one needs to capture this…
The infall of cold dark matter onto a galaxy produces cold collisionless flows and caustics in its halo. If a signal is found in the cavity detector of dark matter axions, the flows will be readily apparent as peaks in the energy spectrum…
In this special issue article, based on the talk with the same title in session B5 (Theoretical and Mathematical Cosmology) at GR19, we review the case of vorticity generation in cosmology using cosmological perturbation theory. We show…
Observations of the cosmic velocity field could become an important cosmological probe in the near future. To take advantage of future velocity-flow surveys we must however have the theoretical predictions under control. In many respects,…
Diffusion models are generative models that have recently demonstrated impressive performances in terms of sampling quality and density estimation in high dimensions. They rely on a forward continuous diffusion process and a backward…
One of the main questions regarding planet formation is how to cross the metre-scale barrier. Several theories rely on the formation of dust clumps dense enough to collapse under their own gravity. Vortices are promising candidate sites of…
Direct measurements of peculiar velocities of galaxies and clusters of galaxies can in principle provide explicit information on the three dimensional mass distribution, but this information is modulated by the fact that velocity field is…
We study the effect of pre-collisional velocity correlations on granular shear flow by molecular dynamics simulations of the inelastic hard sphere system. Comparison of the simulations with the kinetic theory reveals that the theory…
An inverse turbulent cascade in a periodic square box produces a coherent system-sized vortex dipole. We study the statistics of its motion by carrying out direct numerical simulations performed for various bottom friction $\alpha$, pumping…
We consider the formation and evolution of vortices in a hydrodynamic shearing-sheet model. The evolution is done numerically using a version of the ZEUS code. Consistent with earlier results, an injected vorticity field evolves into a set…
Many methods for modelling spatial processes assume global smoothness properties; such assumptions are often violated in practice. We introduce a method for modelling spatial processes that display heterogeneity or contain discontinuities.…
