We describe the implementation of a new module which can be used to simulate physical systems in which the motion of particles is affected by stochastic forces. Such forces are expected to be present in turbulent circumstellar disks or…

The excitation spectrum of the density collective oscillations is computed for multi-component molecular mixtures both with Coulomb and (repulsive) short-range interactions. Distinct sound-like excitations appear, governed by the…

We conduct molecular dynamics computer simulations of a system of Lennard-Jones particles, polydisperse in both size and mass, at a fixed density and temperature. We test for and quantify systematic changes in dynamical properties that…

In this work we study the noise induced effects on the dynamics of short polymers crossing a potential barrier, in the presence of a metastable state. An improved version of the Rouse model for a flexible polymer has been adopted to mimic…

The long time dynamics of large particles trapped in two inhomogeneous turbulent shear flows is studied experimentally. Both flows present a common feature, a shear region that separates two colliding circulations, but with different…

Rotational effects are commonly neglected when considering the dynamics of freely rising or settling isotropic particles. Here, we demonstrate that particle rotations play an important role for rising as well as for settling cylinders in…

Models of active nematics in biological systems normally require complexity arising from the hydrodynamics involved at the microscopic level as well as the viscoelastic nature of the system. Here we show that a minimal, space-independent,…

Comprehending sound damping is integral to understanding the anomalous low temperature properties of glasses. Despite decades of studies, the underlying mechanism of sound damping in glasses is still debated. In this perspective we review…

We study the effect of time-delayed feedback control and Gaussian white noise on the spatio-temporal charge dynamics in a semiconductor superlattice. The system is prepared in a regime where the deterministic dynamics is close to a global…

A common feature of wall-bounded turbulent particle-laden flows is enhanced particle concentrations in a thin layer near the wall due to a phenomenon known as turbophoresis. Even at relatively low bulk volume fractions, particle-particle…

Locally (re)structuring colloidal gels $\unicode{x2013}$ micron-sized particles forming a connected network with arrested dynamics $\unicode{x2013}$ enables precise tuning of the micromechanical and -rheological properties of the system. A…

Particles of low velocity, travelling without dissipation in a superfluid, can interact and emit sound when they collide. We propose a minimal model in which the equations of motion of the particles, including a short-range repulsive force,…

The resonance energy and the transition rate of atoms, molecules and solids were understood as their intrinsic properties in classical electromagnetism. With the development of quantum electrodynamics, it is realized that these quantities…

A binary fluid mixture in contact with lateral particle reservoirs is considered. By imposing different particle concentrations in these reservoirs, the system can be maintained under controlled non-equilibrium conditions. Previous…

Time-reversal symmetry suppresses electron backscattering in a quantum-spin-Hall edge, yielding quantized conductance at zero temperature. Understanding the dominant corrections in finite-temperature experiments remains an unsettled issue.…

Multi-particle collision dynamics is an appealing numerical technique aiming at simulating fluids at the mesoscopic scale. It considers molecular details in a coarse-grained fashion and reproduces hydrodynamic phenomena. Here, the…

Particle methods are less computationally efficient than grid based numerical solution of the Navier Stokes equation. However, they have important advantages including rigorous mass conservation, momentum conservation and isotropy. In…

We investigate the impact of noise on a two-dimensional simple paradigmatic piecewise-smooth dynamical system. For that purpose we consider the motion of a particle subjected to dry friction and coloured noise. The finite correlation time…

Biologically inspired auditory models play an important role in developing effective audio representations that can be tightly integrated into speech and audio processing systems. Current computational models of the cochlea are typically…

Elastic interactions arising from a difference of lattice spacing between two coherent phases can have a strong influence on the phase separation (coarsening) of alloys. If the elastic moduli are different in the two phases, the elastic…
