Simulating acoustically-actuated flows in complex microchannels using the volume penalization technique
We present a volume penalization technique for simulating acoustically-actuated flows in geometrically complex microchannels. Using a perturbation approach, the nonlinear response of an acoustically-actuated compressible Newtonian fluid moving over obstacles or flowing in a geometrically complex domain is segregated into two sub-problems: a harmonic first-order problem and a time-averaged second-order problem, where the latter utilizes forcing terms and boundary conditions arising from the firs…

External charged debris in a flowing plasma : charge fluctuation induced complexity
In this work, we investigate the response of a flowing e-i plasma to embedded external charged debris, focusing on the periodic debris charge fluctuations that can trigger complex phenomena such as chaos and nonlinear Landau damping. We employ both kinetic and fluid simulations to analyse the plasma response to the time-dependent debris charge. Our findings indicate that the nature of the nonlinear response can be considerably different for fluctuating positively charged external debris from ne…

Ocean currents can generate electricity, and our study shows Africa's seas have some of the strongest
The world's oceans cover more than 70% of Earth's surface. They're filled with currents, some much stronger than the fastest flowing large rivers. These currents can be harnessed as clean, marine renewable energy. Marine energy is much more predictable and reliable than many other forms of renewable energy because unlike the sun and wind, which regularly do not produce electricity, ocean currents never stop moving around the planet. New research has found that the eastern and south-eastern coas…

Pink noise in Electric Current from Amplitude Modulations

Pink noise in Electric Current from Amplitude Modulations
We recently proposed that the general origin of 1/f fluctuation, or pink noise, is the amplitude modulation (or beat) of many waves with accumulating frequencies. In this paper, we verify this proposal in the electric current system. We use the classical Langevin equation to describe the electron wave packets flowing in the (semi-)conductor, affected by the back reaction of soft photon emission. If this were amplitude modulation, a demodulation process is needed to extract the fluctuation featu…

Effects of rough boundary and nonzero boundary conditions on the lubrication process with micropolar fluid
The lubrication theory is mostly concerned with the behavior of a lubricant flowing through a narrow gap. Motivated by the experimental findings from the tribology literature, we take the lubricant to be micropolar fluid and study its behavior in a thin domain with rough boundary. Instead of considering (commonly used) simple zero boundary condition, we impose physically relevant (nonzero) boundary condition for microrotation and perform asymptotic analysis of the corresponding 3D boundary valu…

Mr. Twain Offers a Lesson on Patriotism , by Scott Horton
It was March 16, 1901. A lanky man with elegant and flowing white hair and a prominent moustache strode to the podium. He hardly needed an introduction:

Around the turn of this century, a composer named Camille Saint-Saens wrote
a satirical zoological-fantasy called "Le Carnaval des Animaux." Aside from
one movement of this piece, "The Swan", Saint-Saens didn't allow this work
to be published or even performed until a year had elapsed after his death.
(He died in 1921.)
Most of us know the "Swan" movement rather well, with its smooth,

Bennett Vorticity: Analytic solutions to a flowing, nonlinear, Shear-Flow Stabilized Z-pinch equilibrium
The Bennett profile is a classic form for the plasma number density of an equilibrium Z pinch that has been studied for almost a century by plasma physicists interested in nonlinear plasma pinch science, and fusion energy. By transferring the nonlinearity entirely from the number density to the plasma flow velocity the magnetic structure of the resulting flowing Z-pinch equilibrium remains unchanged whilst now being defined by a vortical flow which previously did not exist in the classic case. …

Magnetization switching by current in an elemental ferromagnetic single layer
Current-induced magnetization switching, a fundamental phenomenon related to spin-transport of electrons, enables non-voltaic and fast information write, facilitating applications in low-power memory and logic devices. However, magnetization switching by spin-orbit torques is usually attributed to current flowing in the nonmagnetic metal layer of multilayers or in magnetic alloys with heavy elements. Here, we report perpendicular magnetization switching induced by current flowing in an elementa…

Flowing from the Ising Model on the Fuzzy Sphere to the 3D Lee-Yang CFT
We employ the Fuzzy Sphere regulator to study the 3D Lee-Yang CFT. The model is defined by deforming the Ising model on the Fuzzy Sphere via a purely imaginary longitudinal magnetic field. This model undergoes a quantum phase transition, whose critical point we determine and identify with the 3D Lee-Yang CFT. We show how to tune the model and find that the lowest-lying states of the Hamiltonian align well with the expected CFT spectrum. We discuss the Fuzzy Sphere estimates for the scaling dime…

Interlinking internal and external magnetic fields of relativistically rotating neutron stars
This work presents a global solution for the internal and the external field of an axisymmetric rotating neutron star. It is shown that the twist of the internal field affects the external field, by increasing the number of open field lines and eventually the spin-down rate of the star. This effect is far more drastic if the toroidal field, and consequently the poloidal current flowing within the star, is allowed to populate the closed field lines of the magnetosphere, rather than if it remains…

Anomalous Critical Behavior of Driven Disordered Systems Beyond the Overdamped Limit
We investigate the role of relaxation mechanisms in the driven response of elastic disordered interfaces in finite dimensions, focusing on the interplay between dimensionality and interaction range. Through extensive numerical simulations, we identify two distinct dynamical regimes. In two-dimensional systems with long-range interactions, we observe a regime of coexistence between pinned and flowing states. In contrast, for one-dimensional interfaces with long-range elasticity, as well as for s…

Non-Hermitian superconducting diode effect
The study of non-reciprocal phenomena has long captivated interest in both Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems. The superconducting diode effect (SDE) is a non-reciprocal phenomenon characterized by unequal critical charge supercurrents flowing in opposite directions in Hermitian superconducting systems. In this study, we introduce an SDE driven by non-Hermiticity in a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) under an external magnetic flux, which we refer to as the non-Hermitian SDE…

Free electron charging of microdroplets in a plasma at atmospheric pressure
Gas phase microdroplets have recently demonstrated exceptional chemical properties via suspected mechanisms such as contact electrification and surface charge pinning leading, in turn, to high electric fields at the surface. In this work, microdroplets are injected into a low temperature flowing gas plasma at atmospheric pressure and during flight they are subject to an excess free electron flux. We report the first measurements of particle charge acquired in a fully collisional plasma with ave…

Annular two-phase flow involving upward-moving gas and downward-flowing liquid within a vertical annular geometry is a common configuration in various engineering systems. In such systems, accurately predicting the pressure gradient is essential for understanding flow stability, equipment performance, and system design under counter-current conditions. This paper presents a general mechanistic model to predict the pressure gradient in counter-current annular flow within a vertical annular space…

We present an experimental investigation of the pressure dynamics during the flow of self-propelled particles through narrow passages. When the ensemble is flowing, pressure fluctuates around a constant value that does not depend on the crowd size, suggesting that the orifice locally determines the dynamics in this scenario. On the contrary, when the system clogs, pressures are higher for larger crowd sizes, highlighting the importance of the whole collectivity in the process. Then, by correlat…

Structural Order Drives Diffusion in a Granular Packing
We investigate how structural ordering, i.e. crystallization, affects the flow of bidisperse granular materials in a quasi-two-dimensional silo. By systematically varying the mass fraction of two particle sizes, we finely tune the degree of local order. Using high-speed imaging and kinematic modeling, we show that crystallization significantly enhances the diffusion length $b$, a key parameter controlling the velocity profiles within the flowing medium. We reveal a strong correlation between $b…
