Abstract: Electrochemical potentials at solid-liquid interfaces govern diverse chemical and energy conversion processes; however, the extent to which their electrochemical influence extends into the solid remains unclear. This study demonstrates that the maximally accessible electrochemical information is controlled by a single dimensionless factor $u$, defined as the ratio of the effective electrostatic separation between the liquid and probe locations to the electrostatic propagation length in the solid. The resulting universal inverse-square scaling is independent of the microscopic details of the probe. This attenuation law identifies electrostatic screening as a fundamental constraint on information transfer across solid-liquid interfaces, providing quantitative design principles for subsurface electrochemical sensing.

Abstract: We investigate the buckling of axially compressed cylindrical shells containing localized defects, focusing on interactions among multiple defects and between them and the shell edges. Using high-fidelity finite-element simulations, we first characterize the parameter space of single-dimple sensitivity, defect-edge coupling, and pairwise defect-defect interactions. Building on this deterministic baseline, we run stochastic simulations of shells with randomly distributed imperfections whose amplitudes are sampled from a log-normal distribution. Post-buckling deformations form non-axisymmetric, butterfly-shaped patterns whose `wings' reach far across the shell surface. This spatial extent induces unavoidable interactions with neighboring defects and the clamped edges, so that buckling is not necessarily initiated by the deepest defect. A larger defect population raises the likelihood of an extreme defect, producing a statistical size effect: as the mean number of defects grows, the mean knockdown factor decreases asymptotically and its variability decays exponentially. The butterfly defect effect qualitatively explains the scatter in historical experimental data by correlating the knockdown factor with the cylinder length-to-thickness ratio ($H/t$) rather than the radius-to-thickness ratio ($R/t$) alone, thereby establishing $H$ as a key parameter for stability alongside $R$ and $t$. Nonetheless, the knockdown factors obtained here remain well above those reported in historical experiments, indicating that the localized Gaussian dimple, though nearly the worst-case imperfection for spherical shells, is not so for cylinders.

Abstract: A method for measuring the altitude and particle size of noctilucent clouds, based on positioning and photometry from wide-angle three-color cameras, has been developed to determine the three velocity components, particle radius, and its derivative with respect to time for different cloud fragments. The updated method is applied to observational data of bright clouds during the summers of 2023-2025. Meridional motion of the cloud is found to be the principal factor driving the change in particle size. The effect of particle size evolution in the presence of a strong latitudinal temperature gradient is also studied.

Abstract: The CO luminosity-to-H$_2$ mass conversion factor ($\alpha_{CO}$) remains a debated uncertainty in determining molecular gas masses of high-redshift dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs). Dynamical mass constraints have often favored $\alpha_{CO}=0.8$~$M_{\odot}~{(K~km~{s}^{-1}~{pc}^{2})}^{-1}$, whereas dust- and radiative-transfer-based methods imply higher values. We revisit this ``tension" using the largest homogeneous sample of 21 unlensed $z\sim1-4$ DSFGs, with securely measured \coonezero luminosities from the VLA \vzgal survey and resolved ($\sim{0.1}^{\prime\prime}$) ALMA 1~mm dust continuum imaging. For 12 galaxies with robust modeling constraints, we derive molecular gas masses using dust spectral energy distribution modeling and the TUNER LVG framework, adopting a solar-metallicity gas-to-dust mass ratio of 100. Although not fully independent due to shared assumptions on dust properties, these approaches yield mutually consistent gas masses corresponding to $\alpha_{CO}\sim1.5-11.5$, with a median near the Galactic $\alpha_{CO}=4.3$. Isotropic virial dynamical masses agree with these gas masses when realistic molecular gas sizes are adopted, while our proposed ``mixed" (rotating, pressure-supported, thick-disk) estimator systematically underestimates dynamical masses, producing low $\alpha_{CO}$ limits. Using GN20 ($z=4.055$) as a case study, we show that resolved gas geometry and kinematics reconcile the discrepancy with LVG-derived $\alpha_{CO}$. Our results suggest that current data do not require $\alpha_{CO}=0.8$, and intermediate to near-Galactic values remain dynamically viable given uncertainties in gas geometry, dust properties, and gas-to-dust ratios. Further progress in calibrating $\alpha_{CO}$ in the early universe will require resolved molecular gas observations, physically motivated ISM modeling, and stringent constraints on dust properties.

Abstract: Inspired by cephalopod jet propulsion through compliant funnels, this study investigates elastic wave propagation and energy exchange in passively deforming cylindrical nozzles through three-dimensional, two-way fluid-structure interaction simulations. Flexible nozzles with varying stiffness ($Eh = 75 - 500~\mathrm{N\,m^{-1}}$, where $E$ and $h$ are Young's modulus and nozzle thickness, respectively) are subjected to a pulsatile jet inflow at $Re \sim 4000$. Increasing nozzle flexibility reduces the deformation-wave speed in accordance with Moens-Korteweg scaling, thereby prolonging the nozzle expansion phase. This delayed expansion enhances jet entrainment and elastic energy storage while suppressing early shear-layer roll-up and vortex formation. During contraction, the stored elastic energy is released, thereby enhancing jet acceleration and vortex formation. For the most flexible nozzle, the primary vortex-ring circulation increases by 52.13%, the vortex convection distance by 9.00%, and the peak outlet kinetic energy flux by a factor of 4.62 compared with a rigid nozzle. These effects collectively yield a 61.92% increase in total hydrodynamic impulse. These findings identify passive wave-speed tuning via nozzle compliance as a mechanism to enhance pulsed-jet thrust for bio-inspired underwater propulsion.

Abstract: The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg$^2$ MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carry out a comprehensive optical survey of the Virgo cluster, from its core to its virial radius. The NGVS covers a contiguous area of 104 deg$^2$ (8.63 Mpc$^2$ at the 16.5 Mpc distance of Virgo) in the $u^*$-,$g$-,$i$-, and $z$-band, with additional limited coverage in $r$. In this paper, we present the final catalog of Virgo galaxies across the entire NGVS area. The catalog includes 3680 galaxies considered to be $bona~fide$ members of the cluster, spanning a factor of 2.5 million in luminosity, from $g = 8.42$ mag to $g = 24.41$ mag ($M_g = -22.67$ mag to $M_g = -6.68$ mag). With 2100 previously uncataloged galaxies, the NGVS catalog augments the number of known Virgo members by a factor 2.3. The catalog is complete down to $g = 18.6$ mag ($M_g=-12.5$ mag, corresponding to a stellar mass $M_* \sim 1.6\times10^7~M_{\odot}$ for an old stellar population) and 50% complete at $g = 22.0$ mag ($M_g=-9.1$ mag, $M_* \sim 6.2\times10^5~M_{\odot}$), three magnitudes deeper than the venerable Virgo Cluster Catalog (VCC), which for over 40 years has served as the reference standard for Virgo. Photometric and structural parameters are derived for all NGVS galaxies and presented in a series of tables, alongside nuclear and morphological classification, as well as stellar masses and, when available, radial velocities.

Abstract: The particle representation model (PRM) and interacting particle representation model (IPRM) describe homogeneous turbulence through orientation-conditioned structural states. In their original form, the conditional state is organized by the unit spectral direction, while the radial spectral coordinate is integrated out. We introduce a scale-conditioned Ray-Column extension in which the spectral vector is decomposed into orientation and radial wavenumber, and the conditional structure state is projected onto finite radial bands.
The formulation starts from the continuum spectral tensor and is then reduced to the ray-packet ensemble sums used in the implementation. The bands are projections of an orientation-wavenumber tensor density and retain scale-conditioned structural populations for closure evaluation. The rapid dynamics remain ray-packet resolved, while the nonlinear slow and terminal closure coefficients are evaluated from band-aggregate structure tensors formed by integrating over orientation and wavenumber within each band. The present reference closure omits conservative cascade modeling among bands.
A reference closure is built from PRM rapid kinematics, band-local effective-gradient response, slow rotational randomization, and an active large-scale enstrophy (LSE) terminal-drain map. In the active-LSE closure, the misalignment-sensing factor Psi_fd regularizes the LSE structure-to-dissipation map; the Ray-Column formulation evaluates this map on band-aggregate structural populations. The model is assessed in irrotational strain, homogeneous shear, elliptic-streamline, and rotating-shear configurations. The rotating-shear comparison with filtered LES data illustrates the payoff of retaining band information: filtered or low-pass observables can be formed before scale information is lost in the one-point reconstruction.

@cdarwin@c.imThe primary reason Trump is going:
he wants to cause big pain for New Yorkers.
Yes, he always wants to make everything about himself,
and that's a factor,
but I still think the driving emotional impetus is his need to punish New Yorkers for not loving him.

@arXiv_physicsfludyn_bot@mastoxiv.pageHard Guarantees at a Measured Price: Entropy-Stable Learned Finite Volumes for Compressible Flow
Denis Gueyffier (ONERA -- Institut Polytechnique de Paris)
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20171 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20171 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20171
arXiv:2607.20171v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Learned solvers for compressible flow are usually compared to classical methods at equal mesh resolution rather than at equal computational cost, and they typically offer no guarantee that their solutions remain physically admissible. We present a learned finite volume scheme for the two-dimensional Euler equations on unstructured meshes, admissible by construction and with an entropy-stable interior flux. We evaluate it under protocols fixed before any computation: frozen thresholds, falsification clauses, negative controls, a factor decomposition of the learned components, and an iso-cost comparison against the refined classical baseline. The decomposition produced the central result: the guarantee machinery alone, with both learned heads switched off (the unlearned skeleton), is the strongest scheme at equal mesh on every periodic case. At equal wall-clock cost the picture inverts into a map. Learning pays robustly only on the wall case whose boundary-condition type it never saw (10.8%). Its periodic gains flip sign with the evaluation draw ( 10% on one held-out case, -12% on the hardest). The skeleton is the only method whose iso-cost gain never changes sign, at a measured overhead of 1.74x per step. The guaranteed variant completes 36 of 36 rollouts, Mach extrapolation and unseen wall included, with zero negativity events. We fix the guaranteed scheme's one remaining out-of-distribution weakness, Mach extrapolation, at inference time: with scale-invariant network inputs, a specific-entropy floor, and no retraining, the corrected arm overtakes the unconstrained arm on one Mach case, cuts its deficit on the other by a third, passes the skeleton on the unseen wall, and keeps the guarantee. A spatial gate closes the loop: activating the heads only near the walls beats both the skeleton and the corrected arm, and transfers unchanged to a second wall geometry.
