Ocean submesoscales, flows with characteristic size around 10 m - 10 km, are transitional between the larger, rotationally-constrained mesoscale and three-dimensional turbulence. In this paper we present simulations of a submesoscale ocean…
Patterns on broken surfaces are well-known from everyday experience, but surprisingly, how and why they form are very much open questions. Well-defined facets are commonly observed1-4 along fracture surfaces which are created by slow…
Surface roughness significantly impacts transition to turbulence, especially over high-speed, blunt geometries where surface ablation is necessary to mitigate heat loads during atmospheric entry. Inspired by sand-grain roughness experiments…
This paper presents a novel discovery of a symmetry-breaking effect in porous media with porosity between 0.8-0.9, which we are referring to as the intermediate porosity flow regime. Using large eddy simulation, we studied how heat transfer…
The emissivity of common materials remains constant with temperature variations, and cannot drastically change. However, it is possible to design its entire behaviour as a function of temperature, and to significantly modify the thermal…
Dendritic flux avalanches is a frequently encountered consequence of the thermomagnetic instability in type-II superconducting films. The avalanches, potentially harmful for superconductor-based devices, can be suppressed by an adjacent…
Supersonic turbulence is a large reservoir of suprathermal energy in the interstellar medium. Its dissipation, because it is intermittent in space and time, can deeply modify the chemistry of the gas. We further explore a hybrid method to…
Turing (or double-diffusive) instabilities describe pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems, and were proposed in 1952 as a potential mechanism behind pattern formation in nature, such as leopard spots and zebra stripes. Because the…
We present a multi-scale computational framework suitable for designing solid lubricant interfaces fully in silico. The approach is based on stochastic thermodynamics founded on the classical thermally activated two-dimensional…
We develop in this note a homogenization method to tackle the problem of a diffusion process through a cracked medium. We show that the cracked surface of the domain induces a source term in the homogenized equation. We assume that the…
We have used the AMR hydrodynamic code, MG, to perform idealised 3D MHD simulations of the formation of clumpy and filamentary structure in a thermally unstable medium without turbulence. A stationary thermally unstable spherical diffuse…
The breaking of time-reversal symmetry by ferromagnetism is predicted to yield profound changes to the electronic surface states of a topological insulator. Here, we report on a concerted set of structural, magnetic, electrical and…
We perform Brownian dynamics simulations of semiflexible colloidal sheets with hydrodynamic interactions and thermal fluctuations in shear flow. As a function of the ratio of bending rigidity to shear energy (a dimensionless quantity we…
The evolution of a two-phase, air and unsaturated water vapor, time decaying, shearless, turbulent layer has been studied in the presence of both stable and unstable perturbations of the normal temperature lapse rate. The top interface…
Hydrogen combustion systems operated under fuel-lean conditions offer great potential for low emissions. However, these operating conditions are also susceptible to intrinsic thermodiffusive combustion instabilities. Even though technical…
We propose a generic uncertainty relationship for cross-diffusion (quasi-soliton) waves triggered by local instabilities through Thermo-Hydro-Mechano-Chemical (THMC) coupling and cross-scale feedbacks. Cross-diffusion waves nucleate when…
Climate models exhibit an approximately invariant surface warming pattern in typical end-of-century projections. This observation has been used extensively in climate impact assessments for fast calculations of local temperature anomalies,…
Crack front waves (FWs) are dynamic objects that propagate along moving crack fronts in 3D materials. We study FW dynamics in the framework of a 3D phase-field framework that features a rate-dependent fracture energy $\Gamma(v)$ ($v$ is the…
Calculating the thermal diffusivity of solid materials is commonly carried out using the laser flash experiment. This classical experiment considers a small (usually thin disc-shaped) sample of the material with parallel front and rear…
Motivated by recent experiments [1-3] we calculate the thermopower of graphene incorporating the energy dependence of various transport scattering times. We find that scattering by screened charged impurities gives a reasonable explanation…
