Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces

François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...

Columnlike free-interface flows: symmetry breaking and linear instability

Shahab Eghbali

This thesis is dedicated to the analysis of a subclass of interfacial flows, columnlike free-interface flows, from two view angles: (i) the symmetry breaking under geometry-induced or external forces, (ii) their stability against infinitesimal disturbances ...

Zero dispersion Kerr solitons in optical microresonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Wenle Weng, Miles Henry Anderson, Alexey Tikan

Solitons are shape preserving waveforms that are ubiquitous across nonlinear dynamical systems from BEC to hydrodynamics, and fall into two separate classes: bright solitons existing in anomalous group velocity dispersion, and switching waves forming 'dark ...

Subthreshold VO2 vertical switches for large-bandwidth millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz detection

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Fatemeh Qaderi Rahaqi, Ali Gilani, Daesung Park

n-linear impedance characteristics of VO2 offer solutions to highly sensitive radio-frequency (RF), millimeterwave (mm-wave), and terahertz (THz) detectors. We demonstrate high-speed broadband sensibility of miniaturized VO2 switches by utilizing the nonli ...

Decadal shoreline erosion and recovery of beaches in modified and natural estuaries

Vincent Henri De Staercke

Sandy beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs) are common landforms on the coasts of many major cities. They exist under a wide range of settings and their morphology is controlled by their distance from the estuary/bay entrance, exposure to different types of ...

Emergent nonlinear phenomena in a driven dissipative photonic dimer

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Hairun Guo, Rui Ning Wang, Mikhail Churaev, Alexey Tikan

Collective effects leading to spatial, temporal or spatiotemporal pattern formation in complex nonlinear systems driven out of equilibrium cannot be described at the single-particle level and are therefore often called emergent phenomena. They are characte ...

Kibble-Zurek exponent and chiral transition of the period-4 phase of Rydberg chains

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

Chains of Rydberg atoms have emerged as an amazing playground to study quantum physics in 1D. Playing with inter-atomic distances and laser detuning, one can in particular explore the commensurate-incommensurate transition out of density waves through the ...
