Criticality-Enhanced Quantum Sensing with a Parametric Superconducting Resonator

Pasquale Scarlino, Fabrizio Minganti, Simone Frasca, Marco Scigliuzzo, Guillaume Beaulieu

Quantum metrology, a cornerstone of quantum technologies, exploits entanglement and superposition to achieve higher precision than classical protocols in parameter-estimation tasks. When combined with critical phenomena such as phase transitions, the diver ...

Revisiting the role of friction coefficients in granular collapses: confrontation of 3-D non-smooth simulations with experiments

Gauthier Paul Daniel Marie Rousseau

In this paper, transient granular flows are examined both numerically and experimentally. Simulations are performed using the continuous three-dimensional (3-D) granular model introduced in Daviet & Bertails-Descoubes (ACM Trans. Graph., vol. 35, no. 4, 20 ...

Onset of sliding across scales: How the contact topography impacts frictional strength

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei, Fabian Barras

When two solids start rubbing together, frictional sliding initiates in the wake of slip fronts propagating along their surfaces in contact. This macroscopic rupture dynamics can be successfully mapped on the elastodynamics of a moving shear crack. However ...

Continuously-fed density currents over impermeable and porous substrates

Sara Venuleo

Gravity currents are buoyancy-driven flows having a significant impact on the environment and human life. They can be observed in a vast range of natural and anthropogenic scenarios, such as seawater and freshwater, the atmosphere, or industrial processes. ...

The mechanical origin of snow avalanche dynamics and flow regime transitions

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Betty Sovilla, Xingyue Li

Snow avalanches cause fatalities and economic damage. Key to their mitigation is the understanding of snow avalanche dynamics. This study investigates the dynamic behavior of snow avalanches, using the material point method (MPM) and an elastoplastic const ...

The Reduced Immersed Method for Real-Time Fluid-Elastic Solid Interaction and Contact Simulation

Christopher Brandt

We introduce the Reduced Immersed Method (RIM) for the real-time simulation of two-way coupled incompressible fluids and elastic solids and the interaction of multiple deformables with (self-)collisions. Our framework is based on a novel discretization of ...

Interparticle Friction Leads to Nonmonotonic Flow Curves and Hysteresis in Viscous Suspensions

Matthieu Wyart, Hugo Robin Louis Perrin

Hysteresis is a major feature of the solid-liquid transition in granular materials. This property, by allowing metastable states, can potentially yield catastrophic phenomena such as earthquakes or aerial landslides. The origin of hysteresis in granular fl ...

Distinct transition in flow statistics and vortex dynamics between low- and high-extent turbulent drag reduction in polymer fluids

Tobias Schneider

Flexible polymer additives are known to reduce the energy dissipation and friction drag in turbulent flows. As the fluid elasticity increases, the flow undergoes several stages of transitions. Much attention in the area has been focused on the onset of dra ...

Spin dynamics of coupled spin ladders near quantum criticality in Ba2CuTeO6

Frédéric Mila

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the magnetic excitations in Ba2CuTeO6, proposed by ab initio calculations to magnetically realize weakly coupled antiferromagnetic two-leg spin-1/2 ladders. Isolated ladders are expected to have a sing ...

Thermal Critical Points and Quantum Critical End Point in the Frustrated Bilayer Heisenberg Antiferromagnet

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand

We consider the finite-temperature phase diagram of the S = 1/2 frustrated Heisenberg bilayer. Although this two-dimensional system may show magnetic order only at zero temperature, we demonstrate the presence of a line of finite-temperature critical point ...

Theoretical and numerical studies of atmospheric boundary-layer flows over complex terrain

Marco Giovanni Giometto

Atmospheric boundary-layer (ABL) flows over complex terrain have been the focus of active research, given their impact on weather and climate variability. Surface complexity is understood in a broad sense and includes variation in roughness properties, inc ...

Large-Reynolds-number asymptotics of the streamwise normal stress in zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers

Peter Monkewitz

A more poetic long title could be 'A voyage from the shifting grounds of existing data on zero-pressure-gradient (abbreviated ZPG) turbulent boundary layers (abbreviated TBLs) to infinite Reynolds number'. Aided by the requirement of consistency with the R ...

Large-Eddy Simulation of Very-Large-Scale Motions in the Neutrally Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Jiannong Fang

Large-eddy simulation is used to investigate very-large-scale motions (VLSMs) in the neutrally stratified atmospheric boundary layer at a very high friction Reynolds number, . The vertical height of the computational domain is m, which corresponds to the t ...

Thermal variability of the internal friction in clay in a cylindrical thermo-mechanical problem

Lyesse Laloui, Bertrand François

Variability of the internal friction angle with temperature is studied in a boundary value problem numerically simulating the impact of a cylindrical heat source on the stress and strain in soil mass in which it is emplaced. Even if the thermal increase of ...

Temperature-dependent internal friction of clay in a cylindrical heat source problem

Lyesse Laloui, Bertrand François

The effect of the temperature dependence of the internal friction angle is studied in a boundary value problem simulating the impact of a cylindrical heat source on the soil mass in which it is embedded. This follows a previous study which shows that such ...

Hydrofoil Roughness Effects on von Kármán Vortex Shedding

François Avellan, Mohamed Farhat

The shedding process of the von Kármán vortices is shown to be highly related to the state of the boundary layer over the entire hydrofoil: The selected hydrofoil has a laminar-turbulent boundary layer transition at mid-chord for an incidence angle of 0° a ...
