Spreading of infections on random graphs: A percolation-type model for COVID-19

Fabrizio Croccolo, H. Eduardo Roman

We introduce an epidemic spreading model on a network using concepts from percolation theory. The model is motivated by discussing the standard SIR model, with extensions to descri…

Slowing-down of non-equilibrium concentration fluctuations in confinement

Cédric Giraudet, Henri Bataller, Yifei Sun +3

Fluctuations in a fluid are strongly affected by the presence of a macroscopic gradient making them long-ranged and enhancing their amplitude. While small-scale fluctuations exhibi…

Effect of a marginal inclination on pattern formation in a binary liquid mixture under thermal stress

Fabrizio Croccolo, Frank Scheffold, Alberto Vailati

Convective motions in a fluid layer are affected by its orientation with respect to the gravitational field. We investigate the long-term stability of a thermally-stressed layer of…

Meso-scale modelling of the size effect on the fracture process zone of concrete

Peter Grassl, David Gregoire, Laura Rojas Solano +1

The size effect on the fracture process zone in notched and unnotched three point bending tests of concrete beams is analysed by a meso-scale approach. Concrete is modelled at the…

Zonal shear and super-rotation in a magnetized spherical Couette flow experiment

Daniel Brito, Thierry Alboussière, Philippe Cardin +6

We present measurements performed in a spherical shell filled with liquid sodium, where a 74 mm-radius inner sphere is rotated while a 210 mm-radius outer sphere is at rest. The in…

Redispersible Hybrid Nanopowders: Cerium Oxide Nanoparticle Complexes with Phosphonated-PEG Oligomers

L. Qi, A. Sehgal, J. -C. Castaing +4

Rare earth cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles are stabilized using end-functional phosphonated-PEG oligomers. The complexation process and structure of the resulting hybrid core-sh…
