Evidence of a coupled electron-phonon liquid in NbGe2

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Mathieu François Padlewski

Whereas electron-phonon scattering relaxes the electron's momentum in metals, a perpetual exchange of momentum between phonons and electrons may conserve total momentum and lead to a coupled electron-phonon liquid. Such a phase of matter could be a platfor ...

Multipolar origin of electromagnetic transverse force resulting from TE/TM wave interference

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Andrei Kiselev

In this paper, we aim at unveiling the underlying physical mechanism for transversal optical forces, appearing due to the simultaneous illumination of a spherical object with two plane waves possessing different polarizations. The appearance of such a tran ...

Tomographic reconstruction of the runaway distribution function in TCV using multispectral synchrotron images

Basil Duval, Joan Decker, Umar Sheikh, Artur Perek

Synchrotron radiation observed in a quiescent Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) runaway discharge is studied using filtered camera images targeting three distinct wavelength intervals. Through the tomographic simultaneous algebraic reconstruction tech ...

Pseudomomentum: origins and consequences

Harmeet Singh

The balance of pseudomomentum is discussed and applied to simple elasticity, ideal fluids, and the mechanics of inextensible rods and sheets. A general framework is presented in which the simultaneous variation of an action with respect to position, time, ...

Moment approach of the multi-species non-linear Coulomb collision operator adapted to particle-in-cell codes

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Emmanuel Lanti, Noé Thomas Elie Ohana, Claudio Gheller, Moahan Murugappan

In this article an approximated version of the multi-species, non-linear Coulomb collision operator is derived via the use of a truncated moment expansion of the distribution function to compute the Rosenbluth potentials. The evolution of the distribution ...

A mixture model for a dilute dispersion of gas in a liquid flow: Mathematical analysis and application to aluminium electrolysis

Jacques Rappaz, Marco Picasso, Emile Tryphon Pierre Soutter

A mixture model to take into account the flow of small carbon dioxide bubbles dissolved in a liquid is presented. The model describes the evolution of the velocity fields (mixture and gas), the pressure and the volume fraction of gas. The system of equatio ...

Development of a novel two-phase flow solver for nuclear reactor analysis: algorithms, verification and implementation in OpenFOAM

Andreas Pautz, Carlo Fiorina, Stefan Radman

A porous medium-based representation of nuclear reactors and complex engineering systems more in general can significantly reduce simulation and modelling costs, while preserving a reasonable degree of accuracy via regime map-based correlations for modelli ...
