Confinement induced control of similarity solutions in premelting dynamics and other thin film problems
Satyajit Pramanik, John S. Wettlaufer
We study the combined effects of nonlocal elasticity and confinement induced ordering on the dynamics of thermomolecular pressure gradient driven premelted films bound by an elasti…
Exoplanet Atmosphere Retrieval from Multifractal Analysis of Secondary Eclipse Spectra
Sahil Agarwal, John S. Wettlaufer
We extend a data-based model-free multifractal method of exoplanet detection to probe exoplanetary atmospheres. Whereas the transmission spectrum is studied during the primary ecli…
Confinement effects in premelting dynamics
Satyajit Pramanik, John S. Wettlaufer
We examine the effects of confinement on the dynamics of premelted films driven by thermomolecular pressure gradients. Our approach is to modify a well-studied setting in which the…
Solution of the Fokker-Planck equation with a logarithmic potential and mixed eigenvalue spectrum
Filippo Guarnieri, Woosok Moon, John Wettlaufer
Motivated by a problem in climate dynamics, we investigate the solution of a Bessel-like process with negative constant drift, described by a Fokker-Planck equation with a potentia…
Roughness as a Route to the Ultimate Regime of Thermal Convection
Srikanth Toppaladoddi, Sauro Succi, John S. Wettlaufer
We use highly resolved numerical simulations to study turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cell with sinusoidally rough upper and lower surfaces in two dimensions for …
