In this contribution, I discuss some basic techniques that can be used to simulate radiative transfer through porous media. As specific examples, I consider scattering transfer through a clumped slab, and X-ray emission line formation in a…
In this paper, we present a mathematical model and numerical simulation of the evaporation and drying process of a liquid droplet containing suspended solids. This type of drying is commonly encountered in manufacturing processes such as…
The variety of morphologies in flux patterns created by thermomagnetic dendritic avalanches in type-II superconducting films is investigated using numerical simulations. The avalanches are triggered by introducing a hot spot at the edge of…
Microswimmers play an important role in shaping the world around us. The squirmer is a simple model for microswimmer whose cilia oscillations on its spherical surface induce an effective slip velocity to propel itself. The rapid development…
Streamers, thin, ionized plasma channels, form the early stages of lightning discharges. Here we approach the study of extraterrestrial lightning by studying the formation and propagation of streamer discharges in various nitrogen-methane…
Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the in-plane transport of spin-polarized electrons in III-V semiconductor quantum wells. The density matrix description of the spin polarization is incorporated in the simulation algorithm. The…
In this work, we aim to take a detailed experimental picture of the positive streamer. We apply optical emission spectroscopy to the first negative system (FNS, ${\rm B}^2\Sigma_{\rm u}^+\rightarrow {\rm X}^2\Sigma_{\rm g}^+$) of N$_2^+$…
High Energy Physics processes, such as hard scattering, parton shower, and hadronization, occur at colliders around the world, e.g., the Large Hadron Collider in Europe. The various steps are also components within corresponding Monte-Carlo…
Many modern production and measurement facilities incorporate multiphase systems at low pressures. In this region of flows at small, non-zero Knudsen- and low Mach numbers the classical mesoscopic Monte Carlo methods become increasingly…
A volume-filtered Euler-Lagrange large eddy simulation methodology is used to predict the physics of turbulent liquid-solid slurry flow through a horizontal pipe. A dynamic Smagorinsky model based on Lagrangian averaging is employed to…
We present the computed phase diagram of columnar structures of soft spheres under pressure, of which the main feature is the appearance and disappearance of line slips, the shearing of adjacent spirals, as pressure is increased. A…
Context. Multi-dimensional solar flare simulations have not yet included detailed analysis of the lower atmospheric responses such as down-flowing chromospheric compressions and chromospheric evaporation processes. Aims. We present an…
We have studied the statistics of plastic rearrangement events in a simulated amorphous solid at T=0. Events are characterized by the energy release and the ``slip volume'', the product of plastic strain and system volume. Their…
We study the avalanche dynamics of a pile of micron-sized silica grains in miniaturized rotating drums filled with water. Contrary to what is expected for classical granular materials, the avalanches do not stop at a finite angle of repose.…
Positive streamers in ambient air at pressures from 0.013 to 1 bar are investigated experimentally. The voltage applied to the anode needle ranges from 5 to 45 kV, the discharge gap from 1 to 16 cm. Using a "slow" voltage rise time of 100…
In this paper, two-dimensional (2-D) hybrid simulations are performed to investigate ion dynamics at a rippled quasi-parallel shock. The results show that the ripples around the shock front are inherent structures of a quasi-parallel shock,…
We report on a investigation of turbulent bubbly flows. Bubbles of a size larger than the dissipative scale, cannot be treated as point-wise inclusions, and generate important hydrodynamic fields in the carrier fluid when in motion.…
We study the pairwise interactions of drops in an applied uniform DC electric field within the framework of the leaky dielectric model. We develop three-dimensional numerical simulations using the boundary integral method and an analytical…
Dendritic flux avalanches is a frequently encountered instability in the vortex matter of type II superconducting films at low temperatures. Previously, linear stability analysis has shown that such avalanches should be nucleated where the…
A model for the pseudo-turbulent Reynolds stress tensor in compressible flows through monodisperse particle clouds is developed based on data from particle resolved numerical simulations. This model extends previous models for the…
