Diffusion of energy technologies: the role and dynamics of supply-side information networks

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Gloria Serra Coch, Maria Anna Hecher

The diffusion of energy technologies is key for supporting the energy transition. While social influence and peer effects have been extensively studied on the demand side and found to impact adoption, less focus has been given to the role of information ne ...

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 ...

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 ...

Optimal lower bounds on hitting probabilities for stochastic heat equations in spatial dimension k >= 1

Robert Dalang, Fei Pu

We establish a sharp estimate on the negative moments of the smallest eigenvalue of the Malliavin matrix gamma z of Z := (u(s, y), u(t , x) - u(s, y)), where u is the solution to a system of d non-linear stochastic heat equations in spatial dimension k >= ...

Improving Spatial Data Processing by Clipping Minimum Bounding Boxes

Anastasia Ailamaki, Eleni Tzirita Zacharatou, Darius Sidlauskas

The majority of spatial processing techniques rely heavily on the idea of approximating each group of spatial objects by their minimum bounding box (MBB). As each MBB is compact to store (requiring only two multi-dimensional points) and intersection tests ...

Sur quelques équations aux dérivées partielles en lien avec le lemme de Poincaré

David Valentin Strütt

In this thesis, we study two distinct problems. The first problem consists of studying the linear system of partial differential equations which consists of taking a k-form, and applying the exterior derivative 'd' to it and add the wedge product with a 1- ...

Spatial Characteristics of Roughness Sublayer Mean Flow and Turbulence Over a Realistic Urban Surface

Jiannong Fang, Marc Parlange, Marco Giovanni Giometto, Charles Vivant Ignacio Meneveau

Single-point measurements from towers in cities cannot properly quantify the impact of all terms in the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget and are often not representative of horizontally-averaged quantities over the entire urban domain. A series of lar ...

Turbulent Flows within Random Arrays of Rigid and Emergent Cylinders with Varying Distribution

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Ana Margarida Da Costa Ricardo

The spatial distribution of emergent vegetation in rivers is frequently nonuniform. Here, spatial nonuniformity is simulated in the laboratory by varying longitudinally the stem areal number density (m). Time- and space-averaged flow variables, correspondi ...

Framework for efficient synthesis of spatially embedded morphologies

Julian Charles Shillcock, Guy Antoine Atenekeng Kahou, Lida Kanari, Juan Pablo Palacios, Liesbeth Maria L Vanherpe

Many problems in science and engineering require the ability to grow tubular or polymeric structures up to large volume fractions within a bounded region of three-dimensional space. Examples range from the construction of fibrous materials and biological c ...

Optimal Isotropic Wavelets for Localized Tight Frame Representations

Michaël Unser, John Paul Ward, Pedram Pad

In this letter, we aim to identify the optimal isotropic mother wavelet for a given spatial dimension based on a localization criterion. Within the framework of the calculus of variations, we specify an Euler-Lagrange equation for this problem, and we find ...

The inviscid, compressible and rotational, 2D isotropic Burgers and pressureless Euler-Coriolis fluids: Solvable models with illustrations

Philippe Choquard

The coupling between dilatation and vorticity, two coexisting and fundamental processes in fluid dynamics (Wu et al., 2006, pp. 3, 6) is investigated here, in the simplest cases of inviscid 2D isotropic Burgers and pressureless Euler Coriolis fluids respec ...

Finite volume element approximation of an inhomogeneous Brusselator model with cross-diffusion

Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier

This paper is concerned with the study of pattern formation for an inhomogeneous Brusselator model with cross-diffusion, modeling an autocatalytic chemical reaction taking place in a three-dimensional domain. For the spatial discretization of the problem w ...

The vestibular system: a spatial reference for bodily self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Christian Pfeiffer, Andrea Serino

Self-consciousness is the remarkable human experience of being a subject: the “I”. Self- consciousness is typically bound to a body, and particularly to the spatial dimensions of the body, as well as to its location and displacement in the gravitational fi ...

Turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Sébastien Jolliet, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paolo Ricci, Annamaria Mosetto, Federico David Halpern

We identify the turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer as a function of plasma resistivity, electron to ion mass ratio, safety factor, and magnetic shear. We find that two main instabilities drive turbulence in the SOL: Drift Waves, with their r ...

Observations, theory, and modeling of the differential accumulation of Antarctic megadunes
