A well-balanced and asymptotic-preserving scheme for the one-dimensional linear Dirac equation

The numerical approximation of one-dimensional relativistic Dirac wave equations is considered within the recent framework consisting in deriving local scattering matrices at each interface of the uniform Cartesian computational grid. For a Courant number equal to unity, it is rigorously shown that…

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF QUANTUM STATE REDUCTION IN BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES WITH ATTRACTIVE INTERACTIONS

Optimizing emergency transportation through multicommodity quickest paths

In transportation networks with limited capacities and travel times on the arcs, a class of problems attracting a growing scientific interest is represented by the optimal routing and scheduling of given amounts of flow to be transshipped from the origin points to the specific destinations in…

Bubbling reduces intermittency in turbulent thermal convection

Intermittency effects are numerically studied in turbulent bubbling Rayleigh-Benard (RB) flow and compared to the standard RB case. The vapour bubbles are modelled with a Euler-Lagrangian scheme and are two-way coupled to the flow and temperature fields, both mechanically and thermally. To quantify…

Evaluation of NOx emissions and ozone production due to vehicular traffic via second-order models

The societal impact of traffic is a long-standing and complex problem. We focus on the estimation of ground-level ozone production due to vehicular traffic. We propose a comprehensive computational approach combining four consecutive modules: a traffic simulation module, an emission module, a…

Cloud Detection: An Assessment Study from the ESA Round Robin Exercise for PROBA-V

A Round Robin exercise was implemented by ESA to compare different classification methods in detecting clouds from images taken by the PROBA-V sensor. A high-quality dataset of 1350 reflectances and Clear/Cloudy corresponding labels had been prepared by ESA in the framework of the exercise.…

A new boundary condition for three-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann simulations of capillary filling in rough microchannels

On the interaction of massless fields with a gravitomagnetic monopole

A single master equation is given describing spin s 2 test field gauge and tetrad-invariant perturbations of the Taub-NUT spacetime. This solution of vacuum Einstein field equations describes a black hole with mass M and gravitomagnetic monopole moment . This equation can be separated into its…
