Solutocapillary instability in slipping falling films

Abstract: We present a comprehensive framework for gravity-driven, surfactant-laden thin films flowing over slippery substrates, elucidating how wall slip modifies the coupled hydrodynamics and interfacial transport. A long-wave model is formulated with a conservative bulk-surface mass balance and a Navier slip condition. The Orr-Sommerfeld eigenvalue problem governs the linear regime, while a weighted-residual model captures the nonlinear evolution over a range of equilibrium surfactant coverages, Marangoni strengths, and adsorption kinetics. The analysis predicts a non-monotonic variation of the critical Reynolds number with equilibrium coverage, exhibiting a maximum at intermediate $\Gamma_e$, and a slip-induced transition from single- to double-hump solitary structures with increasing Marangoni number, accompanied by attenuated capillary ripples. Under fast adsorption kinetics, the surface field homogenizes, preserving the mean film shape and flux while flattening both the surface concentration $\Gamma$ and the bulk inventory $\chi h\phi$. A spurious interfacial mass growth reported by Pascal et al.(PRF, 2019) and D'Alessio et al.(JFM, 2020) is resolved through a revised surface balance ensuring strict conservation. Wall slip thus emerges as a key control parameter, reducing viscous resistance and mitigating Marangoni back-stress. The slip parameter $\beta$ is a useful control knob for surfactant-laden films. Slip prevents fragile multi-hump bound states, promoting a single broad crest or an almost flat, uniform sheet by carefully bonding $\beta$ to wave selection, ripple damping, and the bulk-surface surfactant balance.

Discovering Dennis Ritchie’s Lost Dissertation
Until recently, across a half-century perhaps fewer than a dozen people had ever had the opportunity to read Dennis Ritchie’s dissertation—the intellectual and biographical fork-in-the-road separating an academic career in computer science from the one at Bell Labs leading to C and Unix. Why?

From Licensing to Open Access: Designing a Sustainable Transition in Operational Weather Data

https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21673 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.21673 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.21673

Abstract: This translational article documents the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) transition from a restricted data licensing model to open access under CC BY 4.0, completed in October 2025. The policy context included EU open data requirements and alignment with international data exchange frameworks. The transition was implemented through a tiered service model that kept core forecast data open while offering operationally supported delivery as a cost-recovered service. Between 2020 and 2025, ECMWF executed an iterative planning cycle: setting an annual target for revenue reduction, specifying additions to the open tier under that target, provisioning infrastructure, and assessing outcomes to update assumptions. Drawing on internal administrative records (2014 - 2025), we describe design choices, operational constraints, and early outcomes. In the six months following the end of the transition, more than 93% of previously paying organisations retained a Service Agreement, while open endpoint download volumes increased substantially. We discuss trade-offs in defining the open tier (resolution, parameters, schedule), the reduction of compliance overheads formerly associated with redistribution restrictions, and the scalability implications of global distribution. We note an emerging sustainability question as AI-based forecast products become freely available. The early evidence is consistent with the view that a tiered service model can be designed to reconcile open-access obligations with operational sustainability, subject to monitoring over longer contract renewal cycles (typically annual).

It is high time we let go of the Mersenne Twister
When the Mersenne Twister made his first appearance in 1997 it was a powerful example of how linear maps on $\mathbf F_2$ could be used to generate pseudorandom numbers. In particular, the easiness with which generators with long periods could be defined gave the Mersenne Twister a large following, in spite of the fact that such long periods are not a measure of quality, and they require a large amount of memory. Even at the time of its publication, several defects of the Mersenne Twister were …
