Lakes forming next to Greenland's melting ice sheet are speeding up glacier flow
A growing network of meltwater lakes at the edge of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating the flow of major glaciers, potentially increasing the pace of global sea-level rise. Warmer air and sea temperatures have led to the loss of around 264 gigatons of ice every year in Greenland since 2002, causing sea levels to rise by 0.8 millimeters annually. But a new study by the University of Leeds examining glacier behavior across the entire ice sheet has highlighted a lesser-known feature that is a…

“How may the compulsive programmer be distinguished from a merely dedicated, hard-working professional programmer? First, by the fact that the ordinary professional programmer addresses himself to the problem to be solved, whereas the compulsive programmer sees the problem mainly as an opportunity to interact with the computer. The ordinary computer programmer will usually discuss both his substantive and his technical programming problem with others. He will generally do lengthy preparatory work, such as writing and flow diagramming, before beginning work with the computer itself. His sessions with the computer may be comparatively short. He may even let others do the actual console work. He develops his program slowly and systematically. When something doesn't work, he may spend considerable time away from the computer, framing careful hypotheses to account for the malfunction and designing crucial experiments to test them. Again, he may leave the actual running of the computer to others. He is able, while waiting for results from the computer, to attend to other aspects of his work, such as documenting what he has already done. When he has finally composed the program he set out to produce, he is able to complete a sensible description of it and to turn his attention to other things. The professional regards programming as a means toward an end, not as an end in itself. His satisfaction comes from having solved a substantive problem, not from having bent a computer to his will.”

Counterflow around a cylinder

https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22022 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22022 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22022
arXiv:2602.22022v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The incompressible flow around a circular cylinder, positioned at the center of an unconfined planar counterflow, is studied by means of numerical solutions of the conservation equations and linear stability analysis. The flow is completely defined by the Reynolds number ($\Rey$) -- based on the cylinder radius, the strain rate defining the counterflow, and the kinematic viscosity. For very low values of $\Rey$, the flow is steady, two-dimensional, and fully attached to the cylinder wall. Increasing $\Rey$ above $\Rey_s \approx 16.86$, the flow separates, giving rise to two symmetric, counter-rotating recirculation regions on each side of the cylinder. Further increasing $\Rey$ leads to a progressive enlargement of the recirculation regions and the appearance of multiple recirculation centers, akin to Moffatt eddies. However, the convective acceleration imposed by the counterflow limits their size. An oscillatory mode becomes linearly unstable for $\Rey_{c} \approx 4146$. This mode gives rise to a sinuous meandering of the wake flow, on each side of the cylinder, being analogous to the well-known von K\'arm\'an instability. The frequency of this mode is directly proportional to the strain rate defining the counterflow.

Many of the world’s largest river deltas—home to hundreds of millions of people—are sinking faster than rising seas, according to a sweeping global study. Using high-resolution satellite radar maps, researchers found that human activities like groundwater pumping, reduced sediment flow, and rapid urban growth are driving widespread land subsidence across 40 major deltas.

Acoustic Signatures of Pinch-Off Cavities During Water-Entry

Abstract: This study experimentally, numerically, and theoretically investigates the cavity/bubble dynamics and radiated acoustics during the water entry of a centimeter-scale cylindrical projectile with a conical nose. Experiments were conducted in a laboratory tank, employing synchronized high-speed imaging and hydrophone measurements to characterize the cavity closure modes and their resultant acoustic signatures across a range of Froude numbers. The acoustic signal features a weak radiated signal upon impact, followed by significant pressure oscillations spanning more than 20 cycles in the flow field after cavity elongation and pinch-off. A numerical model based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM) successfully captures these physical processes. Subsequently, a semi-theoretical model that incorporates the projectile's boundary effect is developed from potential flow theory. The model not only yields a dominant cavity oscillation frequency that agrees well with experimental data, but also reveals that the boundary effect leads to a cavity oscillation frequency markedly higher than the Minnaert frequency of an equivalent-volume ellipsoidal bubble containing an internal rigid core. The dominant cavity frequency falls nearly linearly with Fr, governed by nose geometry and projectile inertia. This study clarifies the underlying physics connecting cavity dynamics during water entry to underwater acoustic radiation.

On the spatial structure and intermittency of soot in a lab-scale gas turbine combustor: Insights from large-eddy simulations

Abstract: This work presents a numerical investigation of soot formation in the Cambridge lab-scale gas turbine combustor. Large-eddy simulations (LES) of a swirl-stabilized ethylene flame are performed using the flamelet generated manifold method coupled with a discrete sectional model to account for soot formation, growth, and oxidation. The study aims to elucidate the mechanism governing the spatial structure and intermittency of soot, supported by comparisons with experimental data. The predicted soot distribution agrees well with measurements, with peak concentrations near the bluff body. Flow recirculation is identified as the key mechanism driving soot accumulation in fuel-rich regions, where surface reactions dominate soot mass growth. Soot intermittency arises from fluctuations in the flow field driven by interactions between the flame front and the recirculation vortex. Two soot modeling approaches are evaluated, differing in their treatment of soot model quantities: the first approach employs on-the-fly computation of source terms (FGM-C), while the second uses fully pre-tabulated source terms (FGM-T). Their predictive performance and computational cost are compared in the context of unsteady, sooting flames in swirl-stabilized combustors.

Pressure beneath a periodic travelling water-wave in constant-vorticity flow over a flat bed

Abstract: We investigate within the framework of linear theory the behaviour of the total (hydrodynamic) pressure and of the dynamic pressure in a regular wave train which propagates at the surface of water with a flat bed in a flow with constant vorticity. We show that nonzero vorticity, the hallmark of a non-uniform underlying current, may strongly alter the behaviour with respect to the case of irrotational flows, for which the maximum and minimum of the dynamic pressure always occur at the wave crest and at the wave trough, respectively (the extrema of the dynamic pressure may occur along the flat bed or along the critical level, depending on the vorticity strength). While vorticity does not modify the increase of the hydrodynamic pressure with depth, it can significantly alter the location of the extrema of the hydrodynamic pressure at a fixed depth level.

Trump ended the "de minimis exemption" for products from China last May and for items from the rest of the world in July.
Although it did not address de minimis directly, the Supreme Court’s decision appeared to invalidate one of the legal grounds for Trump’s decision to end the exemption, potentially opening the door for such inexpensive tax-free shipments to resume.
But in an executive order hours later, Trump said the flow of such goods remained a national emergency,…

Trump Doubles Down on Closing Tax Loophole on Cheap Imports
The exemption was shut down last year by President Trump based, in part, on the same legal grounds as the tariffs that were invalidated by the Supreme Court.

A Novel Explicit Filter for the Approximate Deconvolution in Large-Eddy Simulation on General Unstructured Grids: A posteriori tests on highly stretched grids

https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.21166 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.21166 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.21166
arXiv:2602.21166v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Explicit filters play a pivotal role in the scale separation and numerical stability of advanced Large Eddy Simulation (LES) closures, such as dynamic eddy-viscosity or Approximate Deconvolution (AD) methods. In the present study, it is demonstrated that the performance of commonly used explicit filters applicable to general unstructured grids highly depends on the grid configuration, specifically the cell aspect ratio, which can result in poor filter spectral properties, ultimately leading to large errors and even solution divergence. This study introduces a novel, efficient explicit filter for general unstructured grids, addressing this shortcoming through a combination of a face-averaging technique and recursive filtering. The filter parameters are then determined through a constrained multi-objective optimization, ensuring desirable spectral properties, including high-wavenumber attenuation, filter-width precision, filter stability and positivity, and minimized dispersion and commutation errors. The AD-LES of turbulent channel flow benchmarks using the new filter demonstrate a noticeable improvement in turbulent flow predictions on highly stretched boundary-layer-type grids, particularly in reducing the log-layer mean velocity profile mismatch, compared to simulations using conventional filters. The analyses show that this enhancement is mainly attributed to the sufficient level of attenuation near the Nyquist wavenumber achieved by the new filter in all spatial directions across various grid configurations, among others. The new filter was also successfully tested on unstructured prism grids for the 3D Taylor-Green vortex benchmark.

With a stroke of his pen, Trump made the oil flow on behalf of Sable Offshore 
— oil that hadn’t flowed for 10 years.
It began flowing from underwater oil wells located seven miles out to sea.
It flowed up to what used to be Exxon’s massive industrial plant along the Gaviota Coast.
And, ultimately, it flowed into two old pipelines that caused the 2015 massive oil disaster,
-- pipelines so corroded that Sable had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to patc…

Why Trump’s Order to Restart Oil Production Along Santa Barbara’s Coast May Not Be the Final Word
History shows that in California, the battle over Sable Offshore is still ongoing.

Changes in a Florida ocean current could wreak havoc worldwide
For 43 years, scientists have been studying the strength of the water flow between Florida and the Bahamas
to learn what drives its changes over time.
The information could help scientists answer a pressing question:
Is the Florida Current, one of the world’s fastest ocean currents, slowing down?
If so, it could indicate weakening of the larger circulation system in the Atlantic Ocean
— what…

Why changes in a Florida ocean current could wreak havoc worldwide
It’s part of the scenario in “The Day After Tomorrow,” but scientists differ over whether or how fast it may occur. A team studying the current toils to bring clarity.
