Stability: a search for structure

Wouter Jongeneel

In this thesis we study stability from several viewpoints. After covering the practical importance, the rich history and the ever-growing list of manifestations of stability, we study the following. (i) (Statistical identification of stable dynamical syste ...

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 ...

Controlling the crystal structure of succinic acid via microfluidic spray-drying

Esther Amstad, Aysu Ceren Okur

Many properties of materials, including their dissolution kinetics, hardness, and optical appearance, depend on their structure. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to control the structure of low molecular weight organic compounds that have a high propen ...

Kinetics of information scrambling in correlated metals: Disorder-driven transition from shock wave to Fisher or Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov dynamics

Camille Didier Georges Aron

Quenched disorder slows down the scrambling of quantum information. Using a bottom-up approach, we formulate a kinetic theory of scrambling in a correlated metal near a superconducting transition, following the scrambling dynamics as the impurity scatterin ...

The dynamics of unsteady frictional slip pulses

Fabian Barras, Thibault Didier Roch

Self-healing slip pulses are major spatiotemporal failure modes of frictional systems, featuring a characteristic size L(t) and a propagation velocity c(p)(t) (t is time). Here, we develop a theory of slip pulses in realistic rate- and state-dependent fric ...

Study on the possibility of Φ-OTDR sensing in hollow-core fibres

Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Yuting Yang

The backscattering process in hollow core fibres shows a large similarity with Rayleigh scattering, offering the potential to be exploited for distributed sensing. A classical Φ-OTDR implementation is used to observe the backscattering signal from the surf ...

Gyrokinetic simulation of short wavelength ion temperature gradient instabilities in the ADITYA-U tokamak

Laurent Villard, Emmanuel Lanti

In this work, linear and nonlinear collisionless electrostatic simulation studies of the standard and short wavelength ion temperature gradient mode (SWITG) for experimental profiles and parameters of ADITYA-U tokamak are performed using the linear global ...

Microscopic picture of paraelectric perovskites from structural prototypes

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Michele Kotiuga

We highlight with first-principles molecular dynamics the persistence of intrinsic < 111 > Ti off-centerings for BaTiO3 in its cubic paraelectric phase. Intriguingly, these are inconsistent with the Pm (3) over barm space group often used to atomistically ...

Whirling instability of an eccentric coated fibre

François Gallaire, Edouard Boujo, Ludovic Pierre Gustave Keiser, Shahab Eghbali

We study a gravity-driven viscous flow coating a vertical cylindrical fibre. The destabilisation of a draining liquid column into a downward moving train of beads has been linked to the conjunction of the Rayleigh-Plateau and Kapitza instabilities in the l ...

Invariant tori in dissipative hyperchaos

Tobias Schneider, Jeremy Peter Parker

One approach to understand the chaotic dynamics of nonlinear dissipative systems is the study of non-chaotic yet dynamically unstable invariant solutions embedded in the system's chaotic attractor. The significance of zero-dimensional unstable fixed points ...

A geographical study of (M)over-bar(2)(P-2, 4)(main)

Francesca Carocci

We discuss criteria for a stable map of genus two and degree 4 to the projective plane to be smoothable, as an application of our modular desingularisation of (M) over bar (2,n)(P-r, d)(main) via logarithmic geometry and Gorenstein singularities. ...

Evidence of a transient phase during the hydrolysis of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite

Jacques Lemaître

In the present paper, calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (Ca-def OHAP) has been examined in a transmission electron microscope. During the observation, the initial Ca-def OHAP was seen to transform first into a transient intermediate phase, then to a final, ...

High Li-ion conductivity in tetragonal LGPO: A comparative first-principles study against known LISICON and LGPS phases

Nicola Marzari, Leonid Kahle, Aris Marcolongo, Giuliana Materzanini

We highlight fast Li-ion diffusion in hypothetical tetragonal Li10GeP2O12 (LGPO), as a counterpart to the well-known phases of orthorhombic (LISICON) LGPO, thio-LISICON, and tetragonal Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS). We use extended Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics i ...

Periodic orbits exhibit oblique stripe patterns in plane Couette flow

Tobias Schneider, Florian Reetz

Spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics of transitional plane Couette flow may give rise to regular turbulent-laminar stripe patterns with a large-scale pattern wavelength and an oblique orientation relative to the laminar flow direction. A recent dynamical syst ...

Effects of spanwise confinement on stratified shear instabilities

François Gallaire, Yves-Marie François Ducimetière

We consider the influence of transverse confinement on the instability properties of velocity and density distributions reminiscent of those pertaining to exchange flows in stratified inclined ducts, such as the recent experiment of Lefauve et al. [J. Flui ...

Second-order adjoint-based sensitivity for hydrodynamic stability and control

Edouard Boujo

Adjoint-based sensitivity analysis is routinely used today to assess efficiently the effect of open-loop control on the linear stability properties of unstable flows. Sensitivity maps identify regions where small-amplitude control is the most effective, i. ...

Learning to Hit: A statistical Dynamical System based approach

Aude Billard, Harshit Khurana, Michael Bosongo Bombile

This paper proposes a manipulation scheme based on learning the motion of objects after being hit by a robotic end-effector. This allows for the object to be positioned at a desired location outside the physical workspace of the robot. An estimate of the o ...

Horizontal transport under wind-induced resonance in stratified waterbodies

Alfred Johny Wüest, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

Periodic winds acting on a stratified waterbody can amplify normal modes of motion and enhance the basin-scale circulation via resonance. Here, we use idealized largeeddy simulations to investigate the flow features and quantify the horizontal transport in ...
