abstract = {We propose a computational investigation of Ni-alloying impact on Fe-C 

 martensite ageing, at the atomic scale. Using the Climbing Image Nudged 

 Elastic Band technique, we showed the repulsive nature of NiC pairwise 

 interactions in alpha-iron, and demonstrated that Ni alloying lowers the 

 migration energies and force dipole tensor components associated to an 

 interstitial carbon in alpha-iron. Computed values of pair wise 

 interactions, migration energies and dipole components were used to 

 implement a Kinetic Monte Carlo approach. We found that Ni alloying: (i) 

 has negligible impact on martensite thermodynamical stability, (ii) 

 accelerates ageing kinetics, by increasing carbon diffusivity. (C) 2021

abstract = {A D3Q19 hybrid recursive regularized pressure based lattice-Boltzmann method (HRR-P LBM) is assessed for the simulation of complex transonic flows. Mass and momentum conservation equations are resolved through a classical LBM solver coupled with a finite volume resolution of entropy equation for a complete compressible solver preserving stability, accuracy, and computational costs. An efficient treatment for wall and open boundaries is coupled with a grid refinement technique and extended to the HRR-P LBM in the scope of compressible aerodynamics. A Vreman subgrid turbulence model and an improved coupling of immersed boundary method with turbulence wall model on Cartesian grid accounts for unresolved scales by large-eddy simulation. The validity of the present method for transonic applications is investigated through various test cases with increasing complexity starting from an inviscid flow over a 10% bump and ending with a turbulent flow over a ONERA M6 three-dimensional wing.

abstract = {This paper addresses simulation of heat dominated compressible flows in a closed cavity using a pressure-based lattice Boltzmann (LB) method, in which thermal effects are modeled by applying a pressure-featured zero-order moment of distribution functions. A focus is made on the conservation of mass at boundary nodes, which is a challenging issue that significantly complicated by the density-decoupled zero-order moment here. The mass leakage at boundary nodes is mathematically quantified, which enables an efficient local mass correction scheme. The performance of this solver is assessed by simulating buoyancy-driven flows in a closed deferentially heated cavity with large temperature differences (non-Boussinesq) at Rayleigh numbers ranging from 10³ to 10⁷. Simulations show that mass leakage at solid walls in such configurations is a critical issue to obtain reliable solutions, and it eventually leads to simulations overflow when the cavity is inclined. The proposed mass correction scheme is, however, shown to be effective to control the mass leakage and get accurate solutions. Thus, associated with the proposed mass conservation scheme, the pressure-based LB method becomes reliable to study natural convection dominated flows at large temperature differences in closed geometries with mesh aligned boundaries or not.},

abstract = {In this work, the deuterium (D) retention in plasma facing components of the divertor of ITER is estimated. Three scenarios are simulated with 3 different surface temperatures, 1456 K, 870 K and 435 K. They represent the exposure of different parts of the divertor during an attached plasma. Our 1D rate equation code MHIMS (migration of hydrogen in materials) is used to model the retention in the super-saturated layer formed in the first 10 nm: the D retention integrated in this 10 nm-layer is ≈1019 D m−2 for the coldest scenarios. It is also used to differentiate the evolution of deuterium retention during pulsed and continuous plasma exposures which shows that: (i) there is a retention during the ramp-down in the first 10 μm which is released during the ramp up and (ii) the bulk retention is not affected by the cycling of plasma exposure. The concentration of mobile deuterium in the implantation zone is used as an input of our finite element code FESTIM (finite element simulation of tritium in materials) which is used to assess the deuterium retention and migration in the 2D complex geometry of the actively cooled plasma facing components. In the end, this work enable to determine the three following macroscopic quantities: the total deuterium retention, the permeation flux to the cooling pipe and the desorption flux from the toroidal edges of the components. It is shown that (i) the coldest scenario leads to the highest retention despite the lowest exposure flux which has already been observed in past retention studies, (ii) the permeation to the cooling pipes happens after few thousands of seconds only for the hottest scenario, (iii) the release of deuterium from the toroidal edges is a small fuel recycling source.},

The simplest case, where one particle (N = 1) is coupled with one wave (M = 1), is completely integrable, and the nonlinear effects reduce to the wave potential pulsating while the particle either remains trapped or circulates forever. On increasing the number of particles (N = 2, M = 1), integrability is lost and chaos develops. Our analyses identify the two standard ways for chaos to appear and grow (the homoclinic tangle born from a separatrix, and the resonance overlap near an elliptic fixed point). Moreover, a strong form of chaos occurs when the energy is high enough for the wave amplitude to vanish occasionally. },

abstract = {Giant unilamellar vesicles subjected to pulsed direct-current (pulsed-DC) fields are promising biomimetic systems to investigate the electroporation of cells. In strong electric fields, vesicles undergo significant deformation, which strongly alters the transmembrane potential, consequently the electroporation. Previous theoretical studies investigated the electrodeformation of vesicles in DC fields (which are not pulsed). In this work, we computationally investigate the deformation of a deflated vesicle under unipolar, bipolar, and two-step unipolar pulses and show sensitive dependence of intermediate shapes on type of pulse and the pulse width. Starting with the stress-free initial shape of a deflated vesicle, which is similar to a prolate spheroid, the analysis is presented for the cases with higher and lower conductivities of the inner fluid medium relative to the outer fluid medium. For the ratio of inner to outer fluid conductivity, σr = 10, the shape always remains prolate, including when the field is turned off. For σr=0.1, several complex dynamics are observed, such as the prolate-to-oblate (PO), prolate-to-oblate-to-prolate (POP) shape transitions in time depending upon the strength of the field and the pulse properties. In this case, on turning off the field, a metastable oblate equilibrium shape is seen, that seems to be a characteristics of a deflated vesicle leading to POPO transitions. When a two-step unipolar pulse (a combination of a strong and a weak subpulse) is applied, a vesicle can reach an oblate or a prolate final shape depending upon the relative durations of the two subpulses. },

abstract = {Over half of disk galaxies are barred, yet the mechanisms for bar formation and the life-time of bar buckling remain poorly understood. In simulations, a thin bar undergoes a rapid (<1 Gyr) event called "buckling," during which the inner part of the bar is asymmetrically bent out of the galaxy plane and eventually thickens, developing a peanut/X-shaped profile when viewed side-on. Through analyzing stellar kinematics of N-body model snapshots of a galaxy before, during, and after the buckling phase, we confirm a distinct quadrupolar pattern of out-of-plane stellar velocities in nearly face-on galaxies. This kinematic signature of buckling allows us to identify five candidates of currently buckling bars among 434 barred galaxies in the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) Survey, an integral field unit (IFU) spectroscopic survey that measures the composition and kinematic structure of nearby galaxies. The frequency of buckling events detected is consistent with the 0.5-1 Gyr timescale predicted by simulations. The five candidates we present more than double the total number of candidate buckling bars, and are the only ones found using the kinematic signature.},

abstract = {The fragmentation of solid objects in turbulence is of paramount importance in a large number of situations, especially for marine plastic pollution where small plastic debris are formed by the fragmentation of plastic litter under hydrodynamic forces. Up to now, investigations have focused on the fragmentation of particle aggregates in turbulent flows. Here we study the fragmentation of a single deformable object that behaves elastically up to breakage, in the inertial range of turbulence. Using laboratory experiments with glass fibers as a model system, complemented by numerical simulations and theoretical analyses, we exhibit a comprehensive fragmentation scenario, further modeled by an evolution equation. Our results demonstrate that the fragmentation process is limited at small scales by a physical cutoff length originating from the fluid-structure interactions between the objects and the turbulence, and therefore independent of the brittleness of the fibers. This scenario leads to the accumulation of fragments with a typical length slightly longer than the cutoff scale, as smaller fragments are too short to be deformed and broken by the turbulence.},

abstract = {An improved coupling of immersed boundary method and turbulence wall models on Cartesian grids is proposed, for producing smooth wall surface pressure and skin friction at high Reynolds numbers. Spurious oscillations are frequently observed on these quantities with most immersed boundary wall modeling methods, especially for the skin friction which is found to be very sensitive to the solid surface's position and orientation against the Cartesian grids. The problem originates from the irregularity of the wall distance on the stair-step grid boundaries where the immersed boundary conditions are applied. To reduce this directional error, several modifications are presented to enhance the near wall solution. First, the commonly used interpolation for the flow velocity is replaced by one for the friction velocity, which has much less variation near wall. The concept of using a fictitious point to retrieve flow fields in the wall normal direction is abandoned and the interpolation is performed in the wall parallel plane with existing fluid points. Secondly, the velocity gradients at the approximated boundary are computed with advanced schemes and the normal gradient of the tangential velocity is reconstructed from the wall laws. To further protect the near wall solution, the normal velocity gradient and the working viscosity from the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model are enforced by their theoretical solutions in the interior fluid close to the wall. Additionally, various post-processing algorithms for reconstructing wall surface quantities and force integrations are investigated. Other related factors are also discussed for their effects on the results. The validity of present method has been demonstrated through numerical benchmark tests on a flat plate at zero pressure gradient, both aligned and inclined with respect to the grid, as well as aerodynamic cases of NACA 23012 airfoil and NASA trap wing.},

The analysis relies on 3D numerical simulations that were performed using a detailed physical-fire-model (FIRESTAR3D) based on a multiphase formulation. To avoid border effects, calculations were carried out by imposing periodic boundary conditions along the two lateral sides of the computational domain, reproducing that way a quasi-infinitely long fire front. A total of 72 simulations were carried out for various wind speeds, fuel heights, and fuelbreak widths, which allowed to cover a large spectrum of fire behaviour, ranging from plume-dominated fires to wind-driven fires. The results were classified in three main categories: 1- “Propagation” if fire crossed the fuelbreak with a continuous fire front, 2- “Overshooting” and “Marginal” if fire marginally crosses the fuelbreak with the formation of burning pockets, and 3- “No propagation” if fire does not cross at all the fuelbreak. The ratio of fuelbreak width to fuel height, marking the “Propagation”/“No propagation” transition, was found to be scaled with Byram's convection number Nc as 75.07 × Nc−0.46. The numerical results were also compared to an operational wildfire engineering tool (DIMZAL) dedicated to fuelbreaks dimensioning.},

abstract = {Signal predictions for galactic dark matter (DM) searches often rely on assumptions regarding the DM phase-space distribution function (DF) in halos. This applies to both particle (e.g. p-wave suppressed or Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation, scattering off atoms, etc.) and macroscopic DM candidates (e.g. microlensing of primordial black holes). As experiments and observations improve in precision, better assessing theoretical uncertainties becomes pressing in the prospect of deriving reliable constraints on DM candidates or trustworthy hints for detection. Most reliable predictions of DFs in halos are based on solving the steady-state collisionless Boltzmann equation (e.g. Eddington-like inversions, action-angle methods, etc.) consistently with observational constraints. One can do so starting from maximal symmetries and a minimal set of degrees of freedom, and then increasing complexity. Key issues are then whether adding complexity, which is computationally costy, improves predictions, and if so where to stop. Clues can be obtained by making predictions for zoomed-in hydrodynamical cosmological simulations in which one can access the true (coarse-grained) phase-space information. Here, we test an axisymmetric extension of the Eddington inversion to predict the full DM DF from its density profile and the total gravitational potential of the system. This permits to go beyond spherical symmetry, and is a priori well suited for spiral galaxies. We show that axisymmetry does not necessarily improve over spherical symmetry because the (observationally unconstrained) angular momentum of the DM halo is not generically aligned with the baryonic one. Theoretical errors are similar to those of the Eddington inversion though, at the 10–20% level for velocity-dependent predictions related to particle DM searches in spiral galaxies. We extensively describe the approach and comment on the results.},

abstract = {Seismic and magnetic observations have suggested the presence of a stably stratified layer atop Earth’s core. Such a layer could affect the morphology of the geomagnetic field and the evolution of the core, but the precise impact of this layer depends largely on its internal dynamics. Among other physical phenomena, stratified layers host internal gravity waves (IGW), which can be excited by adjacent convective motions. Internal waves are known to play an important role on the large-scale dynamics of the Earth’s climate and on the long-term evolution of stars. Yet, they have received relatively little attention in the Earth’s outer core so far and deserve detailed investigations in this context. Here, we make a first step in that direction by running numerical simulations of IGW in a non-rotating spherical shell in which a stratified layer lies on top of a convective region. We use a nonlinear equation of state to produce self-consistently such a two-layer system. Both propagating waves and global modes coexist in the stratified layer. We characterize the spectral properties of these waves and find that energy is distributed across a wide range of frequencies and length scales, that depends on the Prandtl number. For the control parameters considered and in the absence of rotational and magnetic effects, the mean kinetic energy in the layer is about 0.1 per cent that of the convective region. IGW produce perturbations in the gravity field that may fall within the sensitivity limit of present-day instruments and could potentially be detected in available data. We finally provide a road map for future, more geophysically realistic, studies towards a more thorough understanding of the dynamics and impact of internal waves in a stratified layer atop Earth’s core.},

abstract = {Algebraic explicit wall models covering the entire inner region of the turbulent boundary layer are proposed to reduce the computational effort for large eddy simulation of wall-bounded turbulent flows. The proposed formulas are given in closed forms with either logarithmic- or power-function-based laws of the wall, allowing straightforward evaluation of the friction velocity on near wall grids independent of their locations in the turbulent boundary layer. The performance of the proposed models is demonstrated by the wall modeled large eddy simulation of a turbulent plane channel flow.},

abstract = {In this paper, we study a high accurate monotonicity-preserving (MP) Semi-Lagrangian scheme for Vlasov-Poisson simulations. The classical Semi-Lagrangian scheme is known to be high accurate and free from CFL condition, but it does not satisfy local maximum principle. To remedy this drawback, using the conservative form of the Semi-Lagrangian scheme, we recast existing MP schemes for the numerical flux in a common framework, and then substitute the local minimum/maximum by some "better" guess, in order to avoid as much as possible loss of accuracy and clipping near extrema, while keeping the monotonicity on monotone portions. With the limiter, on the one hand, the scheme keeps the good properties of the unlimited scheme: it is conservative, free from CFL condition and high accurate. On the other hand, for locally monotonic data, the monotonicity of the solution is preserved. Numerical tests are made on free transport equation and Vlasov-Poisson system to illustrate the robustness of our method. },

abstract = {Numerical simulation of multi-physical processes requires a lot of processor time, 

especially when solving ill-conditional linear systems arising in fluid dynamics 

problems. This paper is devoted to the development of efficient parallel methods for 

such systems for FireStar3D wildfire modeling code. Two alternative approaches 

are discussed and analyzed, based on the MILU-preconditioned conjugate gradient 

method and on the algebraic multigrid, respectively. The main difficulties of paral-

lelizing these methods are considered and solutions are presented: in the first case, 

nested twisted factorization with a staircase pipelining, and in the second, a multi-

color technique for a new smoother for strongly anisotropic grids. A novel quasi-

geometric interpolation technique is presented for solving the problem of positive 

off-diagonal matrix entries in the multigrid. The limits of applicability of the meth-

ods are determined depending on their flexibility, robustness and parallelization 

capabilities. The performance comparison demonstrates the superiority of the new 

methods over the widely used variants of the traditional conjugate gradient method.},
