Mean-field transport equations and energy theorem for plasma edge turbulent transport

This paper establishes a mean-field equation set and an energy theorem to provide a theoretical basis in view of the development of self-consistent, physics-based turbulent transport models for mean-field transport codes. A rigorous averaging procedure ide ...

Validation of GBS plasma turbulence simulation of the TJ-K stellarator

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

We present a validation of a three-dimensional, two-fluid simulation of plasma turbulence in the TJ-K stellarator, a low temperature plasma experiment ideally suited for turbulence measurements. The simulation is carried out by the GBS code, recently adapt ...

Many-body physics with strongly interacting fermions coupled to light

Victor Youri Helson

This thesis reports on the realization of the first experiments conducted with superfluid, strongly interacting Fermi gases of 6Li coupled to the light field of an optical cavity. In the scope of existing ultracold atomic platforms, this is the first time ...

Laterally unconfined neutral or negative buoyancy inflow into a quiescent ambient over sloping bottom

Haoran Shi

This work studies the nearshore hydrodynamics of a shallow turbulent flow entering a laterally unconfined quiescent ambient with a sloping bottom boundary. Examples of such flow are neutrally buoyant ebb tidal jets and hyperpycnal river plumes entering ope ...

Numerical simulations of gas puff imaging using a multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction in the tokamak boundary

Paolo Ricci

A three-dimensional simulation of gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostics is carried out by using a self-consistent multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction. The simulation, based on the drift-reduced Braginskii model for the plasma and a kinetic ...

A self-consistent multi-component model of plasma turbulence and kinetic neutral dynamics for the simulation of the tokamak boundary

Paolo Ricci

A self-consistent model is presented for the simulation of a multi-component plasma in the tokamak boundary. A deuterium plasma is considered, with the plasma species that include electrons, deuterium atomic ions and deuterium molecular ions, while the deu ...

Validation of edge turbulence codes against the TCV-X21 diverted L-mode reference case

Nicola Vianello, Davide Galassi, Paolo Ricci, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Hugo De Oliveira, Maurizio Giacomin, Sophie Danielle Angelica Gorno, Claudia Colandrea, Nicola Offeddu

Self-consistent full-size turbulent-transport simulations of the divertor and scrape-off-layer (SOL) of existing tokamaks have recently become feasible. This enables the direct comparison of turbulence simulations against experimental measurements. In this ...

The Forward Physics Facility at the High-Luminosity LHC

Yiming Li, Yi Zhang, Lesya Shchutska, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Alexey Boyarsky, Wei Liu, Francesco Cerutti

High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC experiments. The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), to be located s ...

A physics-based model for wind turbine wake expansion in the atmospheric boundary layer

Fernando Porté Agel, Dara Vahidi

Analytical wind turbine wake models are widely used to predict the wake velocity deficit. In these models, the wake growth rate is a key parameter specified mainly with empirical formulations. In this study, a new physics-based model is proposed and valida ...

Efficient Semiclassical Evaluation of Electronic Coherences in Polyatomic Molecules

Jiri Vanicek, Nikolay Golubev

Exposing a molecule to an intense light pulse can create a nonstationary quantum state, thus launching correlated dynamics of electrons and nuclei. Although much had been achieved in the understanding of fundamental physics behind the electron-nuclear inte ...

Catalyzing Bond-Dissociation in Graphene via Alkali-Iodide Molecules

Klaus Kern, Stephan Rauschenbach, Sabine Abb, Sven Alexander Szilagyi, Hannah Julia Ochner

Atomic design of a 2D-material such as graphene can be substantially influenced by etching, deliberately induced in a transmission electron microscope. It is achieved primarily by overcoming the threshold energy for defect formation by controlling the kine ...

Eliminating turbulent self-interaction through the parallel boundary condition in local gyrokinetic simulations

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball, Ajay Chandrarajan Jayalekshmi

In this work, we highlight an issue that may reduce the accuracy of many local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations – turbulent self-interaction through the parallel boundary condition. Given a sufficiently long parallel correlation length, individual turbule ...

Generation of chiral asymmetry via helical magnetic fields

Salim Bennouna

It is well known that helical magnetic fields undergo a so-called inverse cascade by which their correlation length grows due to the conservation of magnetic helicity in classical ideal magnetohydro-dynamics (MHD). At high energies above approximately 10 M ...

Invariant solutions underlying small- and large-scale structures in turbulent boundary layers

Sajjad Azimi

Flows of gases and liquids interacting with solid objects are often turbulent within a thin boundary layer. As energy dissipation and momentum transfer are dominated by the boundary layer dynamics, many engineering applications can benefit from an improved ...

Large eddy simulation of the tip-leakage cavitating flow with an insight on how cavitation influences vorticity and turbulence

Mohamed Farhat

Cavitation within a tip leakage flow remains a challenging issue in a variety of axial hydraulic machines. It is still not possible nowadays to predict cavitation occurrence in such a flow with acceptable accuracy. In the present study, we have carried out ...

Design and Structural Optimization of Topological Interlocking Assemblies

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Ziqi Wang, Peng Song

We study assemblies of convex rigid blocks regularly arranged to approximate a given freeform surface. Our designs rely solely on the geometric arrangement of blocks to form a stable assembly, neither requiring explicit connectors or complex joints, nor re ...

Dynamics of nanoscale systems probed by time-resolved STM-induced luminescence

Anna Maria Roslawska

The efficiency and peculiarities of processes such as surface adsorption or electron-to-photon energy conversion in organic and inorganic structures are determined by the dynamics at the scale of individual molecules, atoms and charges. The timescales of s ...
