MUPHY: A parallel MUlti PHYsics/scale code for high performance bio-fluidic simulations

We present a parallel version of MUPHY, a multi-physics/scale code based upon the combination of microscopic Molecular Dynamics (MD) with a hydro-kinetic Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. The features of the parallel version of MUPHY are hereby demonstrated for the case of translocation of biopolymers…

Fluid flow around NACA 0012 airfoil at low-Reynolds numbers with hybrid lattice Boltzmann method

We simulate the two-dimensional fluid flow around National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0012 airfoil using a hybrid lattice Boltzmann method (HLBM), which combines the standard lattice Boltzmann method with an unstructured finite-volume formulation. The aim of the study is to assess…

On a relaxation approximation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

We consider an hyperbolic singular perturbation of the incompressible Navier Stokes equations in two space dimensions. The approximating system under consideration, arises as a diffusive rescaled version of a standard relaxation approximation for the incompressible Euler equations. The aim of…

Strong ill-posedness in W1,? of the 2d stably stratified Boussinesq equations and application to the 3d axisymmetric Euler Equations.

We prove the strong ill-posedness of the two-dimensional Boussinesq system in vorticity form in L8pR2q without boundary, building upon the method that Shikh Khalil & Elgindi arXiv:2207.04556v1 developed for scalar equations. We provide examples of initial data with vorticity and density…

On the solution of a class of nonlinear systems governed by an M -matrix

We consider a weakly nonlinear system of the form (I + phi(x)A)x = p, where phi(x) is a real function of the unknown vector x, and (I + phi(x)A) is an M-matrix. We propose to solve it by means of a sequence of linear systems defined by the iteration procedure (I + phi(x(r))A)x(r + 1) = p, r = 0, 1…

Assimilating InSAR Maps of Water Vapor to Improve Heavy Rainfall Forecasts: A Case Study With Two Successive Storms

Very high resolution precipitable water vapor maps obtained by the Sentinel-1 A synthetic aperture radar (SAR), using the SAR interferometry (InSAR) technique, are here shown to have a positive impact on the performance of severe weather forecasts. A case study of deep convection which affected the…

Surface Recovery by Self Shading Projection

Particle motion in a photon gas: friction matters

The motion of a particle in the Tolman metric generated by a photon gas source is discussed. Both the case of geodesic motion and motion with nonzero friction, due to photon scattering effects, are analyzed. In the Minkowski limit, the particle moves along a straight line segment with a…

Morphology and flow patterns in highly asymmetric active emulsions

We investigate numerically, by a hybrid lattice Boltzmann method, the morphology and the dynamics of an emulsion made of a polar active gel, contractile or extensile, and an isotropic passive fluid. We focus on the case of a highly off-symmetric ratio between the active and passive components. In…

Inverse doping problems for a P-N junction

We consider an inverse problem which arises in the framework of identification of doping profiles for semiconductor devices, based on current measures for varying voltage. We set formally the inverse problem, and study and discuss the main properties of the resulting problem.
