Spontaneous epicuticular charging affects droplet dynamics on living leaves
Mihir Durve, Serena Armiento, Benham Kamare +3
How water droplets move and slide on leaves influences plant ecophysiological and abiotic interactions, as well as the design of advanced bio-inspired wetting materials. Despite cr…
Representation of Typical Droplet Shapes in 2D Latent Space
Mihir Durve, Jean-Michel Tucny Andrea Montessori, Marco Lauricella +1
In this study, we investigate the clustering of 5000 droplets, each originating from one of five distinct droplet classes, each representing a unique geometry. The shape coordinate…
Win Probabilities, Hand Sizes, and Game Duration Analysis in the Bhikar-Sawkar Card Game
Mihir Durve
We present a Monte Carlo simulation study of the Bhikar-Sawkar card game, a non-deterministic game structurally similar to the classic Beggar-My-Neighbour, which is fully determini…
Is the end of Insight in Sight ?
Jean-Michel Tucny, Mihir Durve, Sauro Succi
The rise of deep learning challenges the longstanding scientific ideal of insight - the human capacity to understand phenomena by uncovering underlying mechanisms. In many modern a…
Physics-Informed Neural Networks for microflows: Rarefied Gas Dynamics in Cylinder Arrays
Jean-Michel Tucny, Marco Lauricella, Mihir Durve +3
Accurate prediction of rarefied gas dynamics is crucial for optimizing flows through microelectromechanical systems, air filtration devices, and shale gas extraction. Traditional m…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations for soft flowing matter
A. Tiribocchi, M. Durve, M. Lauricella +3
Over the last decade, the Lattice Boltzmann method has found major scope for the simulation of a large spectrum of problems in soft matter, from multiphase and multi-component micr…
