The Erez-Rosen metric and the role of the quadrupole on light propagation

The gravitational field of a static body with the quadrupole moment is described by an exact solution found by Erez and Rosen. Here, we investigate the role of the quadrupole in the motion, deflection and lensing of a light ray in the above metric. The standard lensing observables such as image…

Existence of solutions for supply chain models based on partial differential equations.

We consider a model for supply chains governed by partial di®eren- tial equations. The mathematical properties of a continuous model are discussed and existence and uniqueness is proven. Moreover, Lipschitz continuous dependence on the initial data is proven. We make use of the front tracking…

An all-densities pedestrian simulator based on a dynamic evaluation of the interpersonal distances

In this paper we deal with pedestrian modeling, aiming at simulating crowd behavior in normal and emergency scenarios, including highly congested mass events. We are specifically concerned with a new agent-based, continuous-in-space, discrete-in-time, nondifferential model, where pedestrians have…

A modular variable Orlicz inequality for the local maximal operator

In this note we prove a modular variable Orlicz inequality for the local maximal operator. This result generalizes several Orlicz and variable exponent modular inequalities that have appeared previously in the literature.

Stability of viscous long liquid filaments

We study the collapse of an axisymmetric liquid filament both analytically and by means of a numerical model. The liquid filament, also known as ligament, may either collapse stably into a single droplet or break up into multiple droplets. The dynamics of the filament are governed by the viscosity…

Physical frames along circular orbits in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes

Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence with singular nonuniform initial conditions

We perform direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional Rayleigh-Taylor turbulence with a nonuniform singular initial temperature background. In such conditions, the mixing layer evolves under the driving of a varying effective At wood number; the long-time growth is still self-similar, but no…

Thin-film equations with partial wetting energy: existence of weak solutions

A method is proposed to identify solutions of the thin-film equations with non-zero contact angle

Regularized lattice Boltzmann multicomponent models for low capillary and Reynolds microfluidics flows

We present a regularized version of the color gradient lattice Boltzmann (LB) scheme for the simulation of droplet formation in microfluidic devices of experimental relevance. The regularized version is shown to provide computationally efficient access to capillary number regimes relevant to…
