Tropical precipitation clusters as islands on a rough water-vapor topography
Ziwei Li, Paul A. O'Gorman, Daniel H. Rothman
Tropical precipitation clusters exhibit power-law frequency distributions in area and volume (integrated precipitation), implying a lack of characteristic scale in tropical convect…
Laplacian networks: growth, local symmetry and shape optimization
O. Devauchelle, P. Szymczak, M. Pecelerowicz +3
Inspired by river networks and other structures formed by Laplacian growth, we use the Loewner equation to investigate the growth of a network of thin fingers in a diffusion field.…
Long-time evolution of sequestered CO in porous media
Yossi Cohen, Daniel H. Rothman
CO sequestration in subsurface reservoirs is important for limiting atmospheric CO concentrations. However, a complete physical picture able to predict the structure develo…
Where do rivers grow? Path selection and growth in a harmonic field
Yossi Cohen, Olivier Devauchelle, Hansjorg F. Seybold +3
River networks exhibit a complex ramified structure that has inspired decades of studies. Yet, an understanding of the propagation of a single stream remains elusive. Here we invok…
Shape and dynamics of seepage erosion in a horizontal granular bed
Michael Berhanu, Alexander Petroff, Olivier Devauchelle +2
We investigate erosion patterns observed in a horizontal granular bed resulting from seepage of water motivated by observation of beach rills and channel growth in larger scale lan…
Geometry of Valley Growth
Alexander P. Petroff, Olivier Devauchelle, Daniel M. Abrams +3
Although amphitheater-shaped valley heads can be cut by groundwater flows emerging from springs, recent geological evidence suggests that other processes may also produce similar f…
