Stochastic Simulations and Machine Learning Modeling to Predict Bedload Transport and Bed Topography

In computational hydraulics models, predicting bed topography and bedload transport with sufficient accuracy remains a significant challenge. An accurate assessment of a river's sediment transport rate necessitates a prior understanding of its bed topograp ...

Verification of the Fourier-enhanced 3D finite element Poisson solver of the gyrokinetic full-f code PICLS

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Alberto Bottino, Moahan Murugappan

We introduce and derive the Fourier -enhanced 3D electrostatic field solver of the gyrokinetic full -f PIC code PICLS. The solver makes use of a Fourier representation in one periodic direction of the domain to make the solving of the system easily paralle ...

Exploring High-Performance and Energy-Efficient Architectures for Edge AI-Enabled Applications

Joshua Alexander Harrison Klein

The desire and ability to place AI-enabled applications on the edge has grown significantly in recent years. However, the compute-, area-, and power-constrained nature of edge devices are stressed by the needs of the AI-enabled applications, due to a gener ...

The effect of pressure-anisotropy-driven kinetic instabilities on magnetic field amplification in galaxy clusters

Salim Bennouna, Yoan Rappaz

Context. The intracluster medium (ICM) is the low-density diffuse gas that fills the space between galaxies within galaxy clusters. It is primarily composed of magnetized plasma, which reaches virial temperatures of up to 10(8) K, probably due to mergers o ...

Brokering between tenants for an international materials acceleration platform

Giovanni Pizzi, Francisco Fernando Ramirez

The efficient utilization of resources in accelerated materials science necessitates flexible, reconfigurable software-defined research workflows. We demonstrate a brokering approach to modular and asynchronous research orchestration to integrate multiple ...

Scaling behavior of bedload transport: what if Bagnold was right?

Christophe Ancey

There is a paradox in the relationship between bedload transport rates and flow variables: laboratory and field studies have reported on how bedload transport rates depend on flow variables through a power law, but none of the empirical laws fitted to the ...

First-Principles Thermodynamics of CsSnI3

Nicola Marzari, Lorenzo Monacelli

CsSnI3 is a promising ecofriendly solution for energy harvesting technologies. It exists at room temperature in either a black perovskite polymorph or a yellow 1D double-chain, which irreversibly deteriorates in the air. In this work, we unveil the relativ ...

Influence of channel geomorphic units on bedload transport and river morphology during low‐magnitude bed‐forming floods coupled with sediment augmentation

Giovanni De Cesare, Severin Stähly, Christian Mörtl, Robin Schroff

In this study, we map different types of channel geomorphic units in a sediment-starved, residual-flow reach before and after an artificial flood. Bedload particles of a previous sediment augmentation measure are tracked with passive integrated transponder ...

Machine-learning the electronic density of states: electronic properties without quantum mechanics

Chiheb Ben Mahmoud

The electronic density of states (DOS) quantifies the distribution of the energy levels that can be occupied by electrons in a quasiparticle picture and is central to modern electronic structure theory. It also underpins the computation and interpretation ...

Dynamics of Dual-Mode Bedload Transport With Three-Dimensional Alternate Bars Migration in Subcritical Flow: Experiments and Model Analysis

Mehrdad Kiani Oshtorjani

Bedload transport often exhibits dual-mode behavior due to interactions of spatiotemporal controlling factors with the migrating three-dimensional bedforms (characterized by the fully developed patterns in the bed, such as alternate bars, pools, and cluste ...

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 ...

Three-dimensional micro-CT images of UV-frozen flow fronts recorded at different flow regimes

Véronique Michaud, Jacobus Gerardus Rudolph Staal

Segmented micro-CT images of flow fronts produced by UV-flow freezing. Front morphologies correspond to capilary-dominated, equilibrated and viscous-dominated flow regimes. ...

Reduced order models for coupled systems

Niccolo' Discacciati

Efficient numerical simulations of coupled multi-component systems can be particularly challenging. This is mostly due to the complexity of their solutions, as mutual interactions may cause emergent behaviors, including synchronization and instabilities. V ...

The clogging of riverbeds: A review of the physical processes

Giovanni De Cesare, Romain Maxime Dubuis

Fine sediment represents an important part of the solid flux of rivers. Due to the size of these particles, they are often transported as suspended load. They gradually fill the pores of the substrate forming the hyporheic zone or cover the substrate by se ...

Error scaling laws for kernel classification under source and capacity conditions

Lenka Zdeborová, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Bruno Loureiro, Hugo Chao Cui

In this manuscript we consider the problem of kernel classification. While worst-case bounds on the decay rate of the prediction error with the number of samples are known for some classifiers, they often fail to accurately describe the learning curves of ...

Circularity by stock in Sri Lanka: Economic necessity meets urban fabric renovation

Paolo Tombesi, Milinda Pathiraja

Persistent fiscal and political mismanagement, together with the financial pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, have driven Sri Lanka into a social and economic crisis triggering a decrease in national foreign exchange reserves, an inability to purchase vit ...

Small-scale dynamo with finite correlation times

Salim Bennouna

Fluctuation dynamos occur in most turbulent plasmas in astrophysics and are the prime candidates for amplifying and maintaining cosmic magnetic fields. A few analytical models exist to describe their behavior, but they are based on simplifying assumptions. ...
