Simulation of Finite-Size Particles in Turbulent Flows Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

Particle laden turbulent flows occur in a variety of industrial applications. While the numerical simulation of such flows has seen significant advances in recent years, it still remains a challenging problem. Many studies investigated the rheology of dense suspensions in laminar flows as well as…

Global dynamics of difference equations for SIR epidemic models with a class of nonlinear incidence rates

Segment Routing v6 - Security Issues and Experimental Results

SRv6 can provide hybrid cooperation between a centralized network controller and network nodes. IPv6 routers maintain multi-hop ECMP-aware segments, whereas the controller establishes a source-routed path through the network. Since the state of the flow is defined at the ingress to the network and…

Twisted gravitational waves

In general relativity (GR), linearized gravitational waves propagating in empty Minkowski spacetime along a fixed spatial direction have the property that the wave front is the Euclidean plane. Beyond the linear regime, exact plane waves in GR have been studied theoretically for a long time and…

Planar quasilinear elliptic equations with right-hand side in L(log L)^\delta

For G open bounded subset of R^2 with C^1 boundary, we study the regularity of the variational solution u in H^1_0(G) to the quasilinear elliptic equation of Leray-Lions type: -div A(x,Du)=f , when f belongs to the Zygmund space L(log L)^{\delta}, \delta>0. As an interpolation between known…

Optimal algorithm re-initialization for combinatorial optimization

We propose a new iterative procedure to find the best time for re-initialization of meta-heuristic algorithms to solve combinatorial optimization problems. The sequence of algorithm executions with different random inizializations evolves at each iteration by either adding new independent…

Measuring alterations in oscillatory brain networks in Schizophrenia with resting-state MEG: State-of-the-art and methodological challenges

Objective: Neuroimaging studies provide evidence of disturbed resting-state brain networks in Schizophrenia (SZ). However, untangling the neuronal mechanisms that subserve these baseline alterations requires measurement of their electrophysiological underpinnings. This systematic review…

Circular Holonomy, Clock Effects and Gravitoelectromagnetism: Still Going around in Circles after all These Years

The historical origins of Fermi-Walker transport and Fermi coordinates and the construction of Fermi-Walker transported frames in black hole spacetimes are reviewed. For geodesics this transport reduces to parallel transport and these frames can be explicitly constructed using a Killing-Yano tensor…

A fractional PDE for first passage time of time-changed Brownian motion and its numerical solution

We show that the First-Passage-Time probability distribution of a Lévy time-changed Brownian motion with drift is solution of a time fractional advection-diffusion equation subject to initial and boundary conditions; the Caputo fractional derivative with respect to time is considered. We propose a…
