Intermittency suppression in turbulence via forced light particles
André Freitas, Xander M. de Wit, Ziqi Wang +2
We investigate how turbulence is reshaped by the presence of externally forced light particles, using high-resolution direct numerical simulations with four-way coupling. The parti…
Extreme statistics and extreme events in dynamical models of turbulence
Xander M. de Wit, Giulio Ortali, Alessandro Corbetta +3
We present a study of the intermittent properties of a shell model of turbulence with unprecedented statistics, about eddy turn over time, achieved thanks to an impleme…
Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions
Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…
The Influence of Macroscopic Pedestrian Structures on Train Boarding Efficiency
Rabia I. Kodapanakkal, Caspar A. S. Pouw, Antal Haans +6
A deeper understanding of pedestrian dynamics is essential to improve crowd flows in public spaces such as train stations. It is essential to understand both the physical and the p…
Lagrangian statistics of dense emulsions
Ivan Girotto, Andrea Scagliarini, Roberto Benzi +1
The dynamics of dense stabilized emulsions presents a rich phenomenology including chaotic emulsification, non-Newtonian rheology and ageing dynamics at rest. Macroscopic rheology…
Coexistence of defect morphologies in three dimensional active nematics
Pasquale Digregorio, Cecilia Rorai, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +1
We establish how active stress globally affects the morphology of disclination lines of a three dimensional active nematic liquid crystal under chaotic flow. Thanks to a defect det…
