@arXiv_physicsfludyn_bot@mastoxiv.pageRarefaction-induced inflation and similarity breakdown of hypersonic bow shocks over a circular cylinder
Ehsan Roohi, Ahmad Shoja-Sani

Abstract: Rarefied hypersonic bow shocks over blunt bodies inflate as the Knudsen number increases, but it remains unclear whether this inflation is a simple shift and broadening of one common shock layer or a multi-scale change of the macroscopic and internal-energy fields. We address this question using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) data for Mach-10 flow over a circular cylinder in argon and nitrogen over \(Kn_\infty \approx 0.01\)--\(1\), together with a Mach-number sweep at \(Kn_\infty=0.01\). At low rarefaction, a ray-based density-gradient ridge gives a reproducible bow-shock location and agrees with an independent schlieren-based shock-wave-detection method. As \(Kn_\infty\) increases, this ridge is replaced by a broad kinetic compression layer, so the high-Knudsen cases are analysed using profile-based standoff and thickness metrics rather than by imposing a visual shock line. The Knudsen- and Mach-number sweeps separate two mechanisms. At fixed \(M_\infty\), the continuum normal-shock density ratio provides a useful low-rarefaction reference compression scale, whereas the measured standoff growth is governed primarily by the kinetic mean free path; the effective density thickness shows an intermediate minimum before increasing in the diffuse regime. At fixed low \(Kn_\infty\), changing \(M_\infty\) mainly changes compression strength and curvature, preserving a coherent attached-layer structure. Density-registered profiles and shock-attached proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) show that, within the present maximum-density-gradient registration, density becomes nearly rank one, whereas Mach number and thermal variables retain independent modal content. Rarefied bow-shock inflation is therefore a coupled compression--relaxation process, not a single-scale rescaling of a continuum-like shock.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.17888 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.17888 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.17888

Abstract: Long-horizon prediction of three-dimensional (3D) wall-bounded turbulence with machine-learning methods remains a challenging task, due to the rapid accumulation of autoregressive errors and the substantially computational cost. To address these challenges, we present a hybrid machine-learning framework, in which a channel-time-attention Swin-UNet (CTA-Swin-UNet) and a multi-time-scale fusion correction (MTFC) strategy are developed to predict the turbulent flow fields in a wall-parallel plane, with affordable computational cost. Then, 3D flow fields are reconstructed via a resolvent-based spectral linear stochastic estimation (SLSE), rooting from the predicted planar flow. Results show that the CTA-Swin-UNet outperforms the baseline models (LSTM, FNO and traditional Swin-UNet) in both single-step prediction and autoregressive rollouts, indicating the effectiveness of introducing the CTA module into the Swin-UNet architecture. At the same temporal interval, the CTA-Swin-UNet remains stable for approximately 150 rollout steps, while the baseline models fail within 20 to 50 rollout steps. After introducing the MTFC strategy, a longer horizon upto 300 steps is achieved. Using the resolvent-based SLSE reconstruction further recovers the 3D flow structures and energy spectral distributions from the predicted planar inputs, which demonstrates that the proposed framework provides an effective and computationally efficient approach for long-horizon autoregressive prediction of 3D wall-bounded turbulence.

@hex@kolektiva.socialI keep seeing the "cars replaced horses" thing related to "AI."
People keep comparing "AI" to cars (positively) without thinking about the fact that cars were forced on people (AAA bought up and destroyed tram lines, there were massive protests, etc), and are the primary driver of climate change that is currently on track to make complex human society impossible. Meanwhile, cities that weren't destroyed for cars, or that have reversed most of the damage, are some of the most desirable places to live.
Maybe we could take the car analogy as a warning. Maybe it could be a reminder to think about how forcing technology on people against their will can reshape society in a profoundly negative way.
The answer for cities has been to right-size transit. Eliminate cars wherever possible, maintain emergency vehicles and mobility aids, and find more efficient alternatives (bikes, trams, metros, and trains) where possible. I feel as though we can extrapolate from the metaphor.
We do not have to repeat the mistake of reshaping society around a single, oversimplified, solution in order to benefit a tiny minority. Perhaps we can actually choose the right technologies based on use cases, rather than hype or dogma.
Cars didn't replace horses. Cars replaced walkable cities, tram lines and mass transit, and children playing in the streets.
"Cars replaced horses" to the benefit of a small group of elite men, at tremendous cost to literally everyone else. When people say, "AI is the new 'cars replacing horses'" they are saying something very specific about their privilege and intentions.
