Effective Pressure of the FRW Universe
In this paper, we study the effective pressure of the $N$-dimensional FRW(Friedmann-Robertson-Walker) universe in Einstein gravity, Gauss-Bonnet gravity, and Lovelock gravity. The effective pressure is defined by $P_{eff}:=-dE/dV$, where $E=ρV$ is the effective energy and $V$ is the volume of the FRW universe inside the apparent horizon. The effective pressure in Einstein gravity is always negative and its absolute value decreases with the horizon radius $R_A$. The effective pressure in Gauss-…

On zero-order consistency residue and background pressure for the conservative SPH fluid dynamics
As one of the major challenges for the conservative smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, the zero-order consistency issue, although thought to be mitigated by the particle regularization scheme, such as the transport velocity formulation, significantly damps the flow in a long channel for both laminar and turbulent simulations. Building on this finding, this paper not only thoroughly analyzes the damping reason in this pressure-driven channel flow, but also relates this problem with th…

The role of magnetic fields in ram pressure stripping of satellite galaxies in the circumgalactic medium around massive galaxies
The presence of magnetic fields in galaxies and their haloes could have important consequences for satellite galaxies moving through the magnetised circumgalactic medium (CGM) of their host. We therefore study the effect of magnetic fields on ram pressure stripping of satellites in the CGM of massive galaxies. We use cosmological `zoom-in' simulations of three massive galaxy haloes ($M_{\rm{200c}} = 10^{12.5-13}$M$_\odot$), each simulated with and without magnetic fields. The fraction of gas re…

Estimating Vertical Velocity in Convective Updrafts from Temperature, Pressure, and Latent Heating
The vertical velocity in convective clouds ($w_c$) mediates convective anvil development and global moisture transport, influencing Earth's energy budget, but has yet to be estimated globally over long periods due to the absence of spaceborne retrievals. Here, a method for estimating $w_c$ given vertical profiles of in-cloud temperature, pressure, and latent heating rate is presented and assessed. The method relies on analytical models for the approximately linear relationship between $w_c$ and…

Monte Carlo simulations of 2D flat-sheet membrane filters for constant-pressure water purification
Membrane filtration is widely used in wastewater treatment to remove foulants from contaminated water. Foulant build-up on the membrane occludes the area open for fluid flow, which impairs the efficiency of the filtration operation by decreasing the flux through the membrane. This necessitates the introduction of cleaning interventions to regenerate the membrane after fouling. Backwashing is a strategy to restore the membrane, wherein clean water is processed backward through the membrane to di…

This work proposes a nonlinear segmented coupling model between external pressure and capillary flow, incorporating vascular elasticity and collapse effects. The pressure-flow response is divided into three phases: elastic compression under low pressure (less than 30 mmHg), elliptical collapse in the transition zone (30 to 40 mmHg), and closure-induced attenuation un…

A Taylor-Hood finite element method for the surface Stokes problem without penalization
Finite element approximation of the velocity-pressure formulation of the surfaces Stokes equations is challenging because it is typically not possible to enforce both tangentiality and $H^1$ conformity of the velocity field. Most previous works concerning finite element methods (FEMs) for these equations thus have weakly enforced one of these two constraints by penalization or a Lagrange multiplier formulation. Recently in [A tangential and penalty-free finite element method for the surface Sto…

In this paper, we propose a new theory on tornadogenesis from the perspective of vortex tubes based on Kelvin-Helmholtz Theorems. When the pressure difference between the lowest pressure line from the wall cloud down to the ground and its surroundings is large enough, the increase of vorticity inside the squeezed vortex tube can reach the tornado level, and thus a tornado is born. When the pressure difference increases, the tornado strength increases. When the pressure difference decreases, the…

Through theoretical calculations and extensive simulations of various active systems, we demonstrate that intrinsic pressure (defined in the same way as in passive systems) is an ideal candidate for local pressure of dry active matter, while the self-propelling forces on the active particles are considered as effective external forces originating from the environment. Such a framework is univ…

Sycophancy under Pressure: Evaluating and Mitigating Sycophantic Bias via Adversarial Dialogues in Scientific QA
Large language models (LLMs), while increasingly used in domains requiring factual rigor, often display a troubling behavior: sycophancy, the tendency to align with user beliefs regardless of correctness. This tendency is reinforced by preference-based alignment techniques that optimize for user satisfaction but can undermine truthfulness. While relatively benign in casual dialogue, sycophancy poses serious risks in high-stakes settings such as scientific question answering (QA), where model ou…

The Impact of Axion-Like Particles on Late Stellar Evolution From Intermediate-Mass Stars to core-collapse Supernova Progenitors
Context. Stars with masses ranging from 3 to 11 M_\odot exhibit multiple evolutionary paths. Less massive stars in this range conclude their evolution as carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs. However, those that achieve carbon ignition before the pressure by degenerate electron halts the core contraction may either form massive CONe/ONe white dwarfs, or undergo an electron-capture supernova, or photo-disintegrate neon and proceed with further thermonuclear burning, ultimately leading to the formatio…

A new solution of Einstein-Maxwell field equations in isotropic coordinates
In this work, we provide a novel exact solution to the Einstein-Maxwell field equations in isotropic coordinates for charged anisotropic matter distribution, achieved by considering one of the metric potentials as well as a particular form of pressure anisotropy and electric field. We analysed all physical features of a realistic star to ensure the model's viability, and we observed that it met all the physical plausibility conditions. The gravitational potentials and matter variables are well-…

BRAiSE: synthetic polarisation in RMHD AGN jet simulations
We present a new method to calculate the polarised synchrotron emission of radio AGN sources using magnetic field information from 3-dimensional relativistic magnetohydrodynamical (RMHD) simulations. Like its predecessor, which uses pressure as a proxy for the magnetic field, this method tracks the spatially resolved adiabatic and radiative loss processes using the method adapted from the Radio AGN in Semi-analytic Environments formalism. Lagrangian tracer particles in RMHD simulations carried …

SpeCT: A state-of-the-art tool to calculate correlated-k tables and continua of CO$_2$-H$_2$O-N$_2$ gas mixtures
A key challenge in modeling (exo)planetary atmospheres lies in generating extensive opacity datasets that cover the wide variety of possible atmospheric composition, pressure, and temperature conditions. This critical step requires specific knowledge and can be considerably time-consuming. To circumvent this issue, most available codes approximate the total opacity by summing the contributions of individual molecular species during the radiative transfer calculation. This approach neglects inte…

Nonspherically symmetric equilibrium bubbles in a steadily rotating incompressible fluid
This note presents two nontrivial, rotational equilibrium solutions to the spatial uniform gas pressure (isobaric) approximate model of Prosperetti in the inviscid case. Building on Gavrilov's work [GAFA 2019], we first establish the existence of equilibrium solutions with nontrivial (rotational) liquid flow. Second, we construct a nonspherically symmetric, horn-torus-shaped equilibrium bubble under mild spatial decay conditions of the liquid flow. In addition, we extend earlier results on the …

Influence of nanostructuring through high-pressure torsion (HPT) on superconductivity of a high-entropy alloy
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as favorable choices for different applications, including superconductors. The present work examines the impact of nanostructuring via high-pressure torsion (HPT) on the superconducting properties of the equiatomic TiZrHfNbTa HEA. Structural characterization reveals a progressive refinement of grain size and increased dislocation density, together with partial phase transformation to an ω phase with HPT processing.

Electron acoustic shock and solitary waves in spin polarized dense rotating quantum plasmas
The propagation of electrostatic waves in a three-component electron positron ion astrophysical quantum plasma under the influence of uniform rotation is analysed, incorporating the effects of particle spin, Fermi pressure, and the quantum Bohm potential. Spin polarisation arising due to the alignment of particle spins under the influence of a strong external magnetic field leads to an imbalance in the population of spin-up and spin-down states. Additionally, key astrophysical factors such as r…

Ab Initio Entropy Calculations of Water Predict the Interiors of Uranus and Neptune to be 15-30% Colder than Previous Models
Ab initio free energy calculations are employed to derive the entropy of liquid and superionic water over a wide range of conditions in the interiors of Uranus and Neptune. The resulting adiabats are much shallower in pressure-temperature space than those adopted for earlier models of Uranus and Neptune. Our models for their interiors are thus much colder, increasing the likelihood that diamond rain or the recently predicted phase separation of planetary ices has occurred in the mantles of ice …

Revealing tensions in neutron star observations with pressure anisotropy
Pressure isotropy, i.e., radial pressure equal to tangential pressure, is often assumed when studying neutron stars. However, multiple physical mechanisms, including pion/kaon condensation, magnetic fields, superfluidity, dark matter clustering, and violations of general relativity, can lead to a pressure anisotropy. This work presents a comprehensive measurement of pressure anisotropy in neutron stars. Our analysis incorporates both an extensive set of nuclear experimental constraints and mult…

Delayed transitions, promoted states and multistability in a pressure-driven nematic under an electric field
We consider the effects of an applied pressure gradient on the classical Freedericksz transition, finding a delayed transition, the promotion of particular director configurations and even pressure-induced multistability. Using the theoretical framework developed by Ericksen and Leslie, we find that the applied pressure gradient adapts the normal pitchfork bifurcation at critical applied voltage, leading to both a delayed bifurcation to higher voltages and a transformation from a supercritical …

Phonon anharmonicity-driven charge density wave transition and ultrafast dynamics in 1T-TaS2/TaSe2
Charge density wave (CDW), a symmetry-breaking collective phenomenon in condensed matter systems, exhibits periodic modulations of electron density coupled with lattice distortions, where the lattice plays a critical role via electron-phonon coupling. In transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) 1T-TaS2/TaSe2, experiments reveal rich temperature- and pressure-dependent CDW phase behaviors, along with metastable CDW states induced by ultrafast optical excitation. Nevertheless, the underlying mecha…

Three-step growth of vapor-deposited ice under mesospheric temperature and water vapor conditions
Polar mesospheric clouds provide clues to physicochemical processes in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. However, the heterogeneous nucleation and growth processes of water ice under polar mesospheric conditions are poorly understood, especially at the nanoscale. This study used reflection high energy electron diffraction and infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy to analyze the structure of vapor-deposited ice at polar mesospheric temperature (120 K) under vapor pressure conditions. …

The discovery of record-breaking values of $T_c$ in quite a number of hydrides under high pressure was an impressive demonstration of capabilities of electron-phonon mechanism of Cooper pairing. This lead to an increased interest on possible limitations of Eliashberg-McMillan theory as the main theory of superconductivity in a system of e…

Deterioration of water evaporation by impurity accumulation at the liquid-vapor interface during nucleate boiling
The interfacial resistance to evaporation, in particular for the case of water, is a longstanding issue. The previous data on its main characterizing parameter, the accommodation coefficient, manifest a dispersion over three orders of magnitude. We study the evaporation of a thin liquid layer (microlayer) under the growing single bubble in saturated pool boiling of ultra-pure water at atmospheric pressure. However, the water contamination during the experiment cannot be excluded. The local and …

SPD strongly reduce the pressure required for PTs/CRs (by one-two orders of magnitude) and PT hysteresis; lead to hidden metastable phases, which cannot be obtained otherwise, and substitute reversible PTs/CRs with irreversibl…

The one-dimensional blast waves in a rarefied polyatomic gas with large bulk viscosity are studied based on rational extended thermodynamics (RET) with six independent fields: mass density, velocity, (equilibrium) pressure, and dynamic pressure. First, by using the method of Lie group theory, we derive a similarity solution of blast waves induced by an intense point explosion. We discuss the deviation from the well-known Sedov-von Neumann-Taylor solution due to the dynamic pressure. Second, we …
