The statistical theory of the angiogenesis equations
Björn Birnir, Luis Bonilla, Manuel Carretero +1
Angiogenesis is a multiscale process by which a primary blood vessel issues secondary vessel sprouts that reach regions lacking oxygen. Angiogenesis can be a natural process of org…
Mathematical Models for Erosion and the Optimal Transportation of Sediment
Björn Birnir, Julie Rowlett
We investigate a mathematical theory for the erosion of sediment which begins with the study of a non-linear, parabolic, weighted 4-Laplace equation on a rectangular domain corresp…
Spectral link of the generalized Townsend-Perry constants in turbulent boundary layers
Björn Birnir, Luiza Angheluta, John Kaminsky +1
We propose a minimal spectral theory for boundary layer turbulence that captures very well the profile of the mean square velocity fluctuations in the stream-wise direction, and gi…
Parameter dependence of high-frequency nonlinear oscillations and intrinsic chaos in short GaAs/(Al,Ga)As superlattices
Jonathan Essen, Miguel Ruiz-Garcia, Ian Jenkins +3
We explore the design parameter space of short (5--25 period), n-doped, Ga/(Al,Ga)As semiconductor superlattices (SSLs) in the sequential resonant tunneling regime. We consider SSL…
Dynamic energy budget approach to evaluate antibiotic effects on biofilms
Bjorn Birnir, Ana Carpio, Elena Cebrian +1
Quantifying the action of antibiotics on biofilms is essential to devise therapies against chronic infections. Biofilms are bacterial communities attached to moist surfaces, shelte…
Reynolds number dependence of the structure functions in homogeneous turbulence
John Kaminsky, Gregory P. Bewley, Michael Sinhuber +1
We compare the predictions of stochastic closure theory (SCT) with experimental measurements of homogeneous turbulence made in the Variable Density Turbulence Tunnel (VDTT) at the…
