Precise characterization of nanometer-scale systems using interferometric scattering microscopy and Bayesian analysis

Xander M. de Wit, Amelia W. Paine, Caroline Martin +3

Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) can image the dynamics of nanometer-scale systems. The typical approach to analyzing interferometric images involves intensive process…

Pattern formation by turbulent cascades

Xander M. de Wit, Michel Fruchart, Tali Khain +2

Fully developed turbulence is a universal and scale-invariant chaotic state characterized by an energy cascade from large to small scales where the cascade is eventually arrested b…

Robust wall modes and their interplay with bulk turbulence in confined rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection

Xander M. de Wit, Wouter J. M. Boot, Matteo Madonia +2

In confined rotating convection, a strong zonal flow can develop close to the side wall with a modal structure that precesses anti-cyclonically (counter to the applied rotation) al…

Bistability of the large-scale dynamics in quasi-two-dimensional turbulence

Xander M. de Wit, Adrian van Kan, Alexandros Alexakis

In many geophysical and astrophysical flows, suppression of fluctuations along one direction of the flow drives a quasi-2D upscale flux of kinetic energy, leading to the formation…

Cage Length Controls the Non-Monotonic Dynamics of Active Glassy Matter

Vincent E. Debets, Xander M. de Wit, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen

Dense active matter is gaining widespread interest due to its remarkable similarity with conventional glass-forming materials. However, active matter is inherently out-of-equilibri…

Discontinuous Transitions Towards Vortex Condensates in Buoyancy-Driven Rotating Turbulence

Xander M. de Wit, Andrés J. Aguirre Guzmán, Herman J. H. Clercx +1

Using direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection, we explore the transitions between turbulent states from a 3D flow state towards a quasi-2D condensate kn…
