Pedestal modelling is crucial to predict the performance of future fusion devices. Current modelling efforts suffer either from a lack of kinetic physics, or an excess of computational complexity. To ameliorate these problems, we take a…
A periodic assembly of acoustically-rigid blocks (termed 'grating'), situated between two half spaces occupied by fluid-like media, lends itself to a rigorous theoretical analysis of its response to an acoustic homogeneous plane wave. This…

The interaction between cracks, as well as their propagation, in single-crystal aluminum is investigated at the atomic scale using the molecular dynamics method and the modified embedded atom method. The results demonstrated that the crack…
The analysis of turbulence in plasmas is fundamental in fusion research. Despite extensive progress in theoretical modeling in the past 15 years, we still lack a complete and consistent understanding of turbulence in magnetic confinement…
We show that radiative coupling between two multilevel atoms having near-degenerate states can produce new interference effects in spontaneous emission. We explicitly demonstrate this possibility by considering two identical V systems each…
Little is known about the physics frontier of strong acceleration; both classical and quantum physics need further development in order to be able to address this newly accessible area of physics. In this lecture we discuss what strong…
Over the last half-century, linear viscoelastic models for crack growth in soft solids have flourished but their predictions have rarely been compared to experiments. In fact, most available models are either very approximate or cast in…
A regularized damage model is considered named "Graded damage" in which the gradient enhancement has the form of an explicit bound for the spatial gradient of damage. The key features of the proposed approach are demonstrated by computing…
The arc-length continuation framework is used for the design of state feedback control laws that enable a microscopic simulator trace its own open-loop coarse bifurcation diagram. The steering of the system along solution branches is…

Quantum collision models allow for the dynamics of open quantum systems to be described by breaking the environment into small segments, typically consisting of non-interacting harmonic oscillators or two-level systems. This work introduces…
A typical phase field approach for describing phase separation and coarsening phenomena in alloys is the Cahn-Hilliard model. This model has been generalized to the so-called Cahn-Larch\'e system by combining it with elasticity to capture…

Motivated by dynamical experiments on cold atomic gases, we develop a quantum kinetic approach to weakly perturbed integrable models out of equilibrium. Using the exact matrix elements of the underlying integrable model we establish an…

The modeling of cracks has been an intensely researched topic for decades - both from the mechanical as well as from the mathematics point of view. As far as the modeling of sharp cracks/interfaces is concerned, the resulting free boundary…
