Fluid flow around NACA 0012 airfoil at low-Reynolds numbers with hybrid lattice Boltzmann method

We simulate the two-dimensional fluid flow around National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 0012 airfoil using a hybrid lattice Boltzmann method (HLBM), which combines the standard lattice Boltzmann method with an unstructured finite-volume formulation. The aim of the study is to assess…

Statistical classification for assessing PRISMA hyperspectral potential for agricultural land use

The upcoming launch of the next generation of hyperspectral satellites (PRISMA, EnMap, HyspIRI, etc.) will meet the increasing demand for the availability/accessibility of hyperspectral information on agricultural land use from the agriculture community. To this purpose, algorithms for the…

Pointwise optimality of Bayesian wavelet estimators

We consider pointwise mean squared errors of several known Bayesian wavelet estimators, namely, posterior mean, posterior median and Bayes Factor, where the prior imposed on wavelet coe±cients is a mixture of an atom of probability zero and a Gaussian density. We show that for the properly chosen…

Strong ill-posedness in W1,? of the 2d stably stratified Boussinesq equations and application to the 3d axisymmetric Euler Equations.

We prove the strong ill-posedness of the two-dimensional Boussinesq system in vorticity form in L8pR2q without boundary, building upon the method that Shikh Khalil & Elgindi arXiv:2207.04556v1 developed for scalar equations. We provide examples of initial data with vorticity and density…

Assimilating InSAR Maps of Water Vapor to Improve Heavy Rainfall Forecasts: A Case Study With Two Successive Storms

Very high resolution precipitable water vapor maps obtained by the Sentinel-1 A synthetic aperture radar (SAR), using the SAR interferometry (InSAR) technique, are here shown to have a positive impact on the performance of severe weather forecasts. A case study of deep convection which affected the…

Effects of friction forces on the motion of objects in smoothly matched interior/exterior spacetimes

A nonlocal problem arising in the study of magneto-elastic interactions

Morphology and flow patterns in highly asymmetric active emulsions

We investigate numerically, by a hybrid lattice Boltzmann method, the morphology and the dynamics of an emulsion made of a polar active gel, contractile or extensile, and an isotropic passive fluid. We focus on the case of a highly off-symmetric ratio between the active and passive components. In…

A black box method for solving the complex exponentials approximation problem

A common problem, arising in many different applied contexts, consists in estimating the number of exponentially damped sinusoids whose weighted sum best fits a finite set of noisy data and in estimating their parameters. Many different methods exist to this purpose. The best of them are based on…

Implementation of a regulatory gene network to simulate the TH1/2 differentiation in an agent-based model of hyper-sensitivity reactions

Motivation: An unbalanced differentiation of T helper cells from precursor type TH0 to the TH1 or TH2 phenotype in immune responses often leads to a pathological condition. In general, immune reactions biased toward TH1 responses may result in auto-immune diseases, while enhanced TH2 responses may…
