In this contribution we discuss the role which incoherent boundary conditions can play in the study of phase transitions. This is a question of particular relevance for the analysis of disordered systems, and in particular of spin glasses.…
In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to implement the contact angle boundary condition on immersed surfaces for phase-field simulations of two-phase flows using the Cahn-Hilliard equation on a Cartesian mesh. This simple and…
Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) is an effective mesoscopic particle model with a lower computational cost than molecular dynamics because of the soft potentials that it employs. However, the soft potential is not strong enough to…
The average current of an overdamped Brownian particle moving along the axis of a three-dimensional periodic tube is investigated in the presence of a symmetric potential and a temporally symmetric unbiased external force. Reduction of the…
A careful study of plasma-material interactions is essential to understand and improve the operation of devices where plasma contacts a wall. Key contributions of this work include (i) novel continuum kinetic algorithms with novel boundary…
We consider the free boundary problem for a plasma--vacuum interface in ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. Unlike the classical statement, where the vacuum magnetic field obeys the div-curl system of pre-Maxwell dynamics, we do not…
The appropriate boundary condition between an unconfined incompressible viscous fluid and a porous medium is given by the law of Beavers and Joseph. The latter has been justified both experimentally and mathematically, using the method of…
We propose a new reduced fluid model for the study of the drift wave -- zonal flow dynamics in magnetically confined plasmas. Our model can be viewed as an extension of the classic Hasegawa-Wakatani (HW) model, and is based on an improved…
We formulate a covariant mechanical equilibrium condition for the quark-hadron mixed phase boundary in the presence of a magnetic-field-induced pressure anisotropy. Using the \emph{relativistic thin-shell} formalism to describe the…
In this letter, a phase transition of a non-equilibrated single component plasma evolving within a uniform constant magnetic field is demonstrated for the first time. We present classical fluid models that capture this phenomenon, confirm…
The boundary treatment is fundamental for modeling fluid flows; especially, in the lattice Boltzmann method, the curved boundary conditions effectively improve the accuracy of single-phase simulations with complex-geometry boundaries.…
Steady plasma flows have been studied almost exclusively in systems with continuous symmetry or in open domains. In the absence of continuous symmetry, the lack of a conserved quantity makes the study of flows intrinsically challenging. In…
A novel approach to global gyrokinetic simulation is implemented in the flux-tube code $\texttt{stella}$. This is done by using a subsidiary expansion of the gyrokinetic equation in the perpendicular scale length of the turbulence,…
We provide a framework to build periodic boundary conditions on the pseudosphere (or hyperbolic plane), the infinite two-dimensional Riemannian space of constant negative curvature. Starting from the common case of periodic boundary…
In this work, we highlight an issue that may reduce the accuracy of many local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations - turbulent self-interaction through the parallel boundary condition. Given a sufficiently long parallel correlation length,…
This paper proposes the first free-stream boundary condition in a purely Lagrangian framework for weakly-compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH). The boundary condition is implemented based on several numerical techniques,…
In the context of global gyrokinetic simulations of turbulence using a Particle-In-Cell framework, verifying the delta-f assumption with a fixed background distribution becomes challenging when determining quasi-steady state profiles…
We have designed 3D numerical simulations of a soft spheres model, with size polidispersity and in athermal conditions, to study the transient shear banding that occurs during yielding of jammed soft solids. We analyze the effects of…
We propose to apply an "effective boundary condition" method to the problem of chiral propulsion. For the case of a rotating helix moving through a fluid at a low Reynolds number, the method amounts to replacing the original helix (in the…
A new scheme is presented for imposing periodic boundary conditions on unit cells with arbitrary source distributions. We restrict our attention here to the Poisson, modified Helmholtz, Stokes and modified Stokes equations. The approach…
