Dynamics of a homogeneous active dumbbell system

We analyze the dynamics of a two-dimensional system of interacting active dumbbells. We characterize the mean-square displacement, linear response function, and deviation from the equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem as a function of activity strength, packing fraction, and temperature for…

Gravitational self-force corrections to tidal invariants for particles on eccentric orbits in a Schwarzschild spacetime

We study tidal effects induced by a particle moving along a slightly eccentric equatorial orbit in a Schwarzschild spacetime within the gravitational self-force framework. We compute the first-order (conservative) corrections in the mass ratio to the eigenvalues of the electric-type and magnetic-…

Fast Lattice Boltzmann Solver for Relativistic Hydrodynamics

A lattice Boltzmann formulation for relativistic fluids is presented and numerically validated through quantitative comparison with recent hydrodynamic simulations of relativistic fluids. In order to illustrate its capability to handle complex geometries, the scheme is also applied to the case of a…

Non-Newtonian unconfined flow and heat transfer over a heated cylinder using the direct-forcing immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method.

In this study, the immersed boundary-thermal lattice Boltzmann method has been used to simulate non-Newtonian fluid flow over a heated circular cylinder. The direct-forcing algorithm has been employed to couple the off-lattice obstacles and on-lattice fluid nodes. To investigate the effect of…

Hybridization of the imperialist competitive algorithm and local search with application to ship design optimization

In the wide scenario of the optimization techniques, a large number of algorithms are inspired by natural processes, in many different ways. One of the latest is the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) Atashpaz-Gargari and Lucas (2007), judged by their authors as very efficient and competitive…

The sigma-IASI code for the calculation of infrared atmospheric radiance and its derivatives

This paper describes a new fast line-by-line radiative transfer scheme which computes top of the atmosphere spectral radiance and its Jacobians with respect to any set of geophysical parameters both for clear and cloudy sky, and presents the software which implements the procedure. The performance…

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…

Sensitivity analysis of the LWR model for traffic forecast on large networks using Wasserstein distance

In this paper we investigate the sensitivity of the LWR model on network to its parameters and to the network itself. The quantification of sensitivity is obtained by measuring the Wasserstein distance between two LWR solutions corresponding to different inputs. To this end, we propose a numerical…
