A two phase cascade is presented for the treatment of ultra-high energy ion-ion collisions at energies from 17-200 GeV. First a high energy, fast cascade is performed, in which original baryons and freed hard partons, if any, collide. This…
We describe a direct method to reconstruct the transverse proton source formed in a relativistic heavy ion collision, making use of experimentally measured proton and deuteron spectra and assuming that deuterons are formed via two-nucleon…
The thermalization process is studied in an expanding parton gas using the Boltzmann equation with two types of collision terms. In the relaxation time approximation we determine the criteria under which a time-dependent relaxation time…
We investigate the energy cascade in wall-bounded turbulence by analysing the interscale transfer between streamwise and spanwise length scales in periodic channels. This transfer originates from the nonlinear interactions in the advective…

Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection at high Rayleigh number exhibits turbulence superimposed on large-scale circulation. While buoyancy forces drive the flow at certain scales, how kinetic energy is transfers across the scales is not understood.…
We develop a stochastic approach for describing 3D-phase transformations ruled by time-dependent correlated nucleation at solid surfaces. The kinetics is expressed as a series of correlation functions and, at odds with modeling based on…
