Clustering of plumes in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection has been numerically observed in low-Prandtl-number fluids. In this framework, turbulent plumes undergo a phase-separation process leading to large-scale clusters and circulations, sometimes called plume superstructures and reminiscent of solar granulation and supergranulation. Entinostat clinical trial On the other hand, the possible presence of large-scale plume aggregates has not been explored in the case of large values of the Prandtl number, Pr, relevant to geological settings such as convection in planetary interiors. Here we address this problem and numerically explore the behavior of plume ensembles in turbulent convection at very high Prandtl number values, including the case Pr→∞. The results indicate the presence of plume clustering, albeit at smaller scale, also for large Pr number fluids, suggesting interesting consequences for mantle convection processes.In this paper we investigate the existence of Anderson localization induced by one specific component of a binary Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). We use a mean-field approach, in which each type of particle of the BEC is considered as a specific field, and we consider that only one kind of particle is subject to a quasiperiodic potential, which induces a localization in the partner field. We assume the system is under a Rabi coupling, i.e., a linear coupling mixing the two-field component, and we investigate the conditions associated with the parameter values of the system for observing the localization. Numerical simulations are performed, confirming the existence of Anderson localization in the partner field.The theoretical understanding of evolutionary dynamics in spatially structured populations often relies on nonspatial models. Biofilms are among such populations where a more accurate understanding is of theoretical interest and can reveal new solutions to existing challenges. Here, we studied how the geometry of the environment affects the evolutionary dynamics of expanding populations, using the Eden model. Our results show that fluctuations of subpopulations during range expansion in two- and three-dimensional environments are not Brownian. Furthermore, we found that the substrate's geometry interferes with the evolutionary dynamics of populations that grow upon it. Inspired by these findings, we propose a periodically wedged pattern on surfaces prone to develop biofilms. On such patterned surfaces, natural selection becomes less effective and beneficial mutants would have a harder time establishing. Additionally, this modification accelerates genetic drift and leads to less diverse biofilms. Both interventions are highly desired for biofilms.We introduce kicked p-spin models describing a family of transverse Ising-like models for an ensemble of spin-1/2 particles with all-to-all p-body interaction terms occurring periodically in time as delta-kicks. This is the natural generalization of the well-studied quantum kicked top (p=2) [Haake, Kuś, and Scharf, Z. Phys. B 65, 381 (1987)10.1007/BF01303727]. We fully characterize the classical nonlinear dynamics of these models, including the transition to global Hamiltonian chaos. The classical analysis allows us to build a classification for this family of models, distinguishing between p=2 and p>2, and between models with odd and even p's. Quantum chaos in these models is characterized in both kinematic and dynamic signatures. For the latter, we show numerically that the growth rate of the out-of-time-order correlator is dictated by the classical Lyapunov exponent. Finally, we argue that the classification of these models constructed in the classical system applies to the quantum system as well.An experimental study of the magnetic field distribution in gas-puff Z pinches with and without a preembedded axial magnetic field (B_z0) is presented. Spatially resolved, time-gated spectroscopic measurements were made at the Weizmann Institute of Science on a 300 kA, 1.6 μs rise time pulsed-power driver. The radial distribution of the azimuthal magnetic field, B_θ, during the implosion, with and without a preembedded axial magnetic field of B_z0=0.26T, was measured using Zeeman polarization spectroscopy. The spectroscopic measurements of B_θ were consistent with the corresponding values of B_θ inferred from current measurements made with a B-dot probe. One-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations, performed with the code trac-ii, showed agreement with the experimentally measured implosion trajectory, and qualitatively reproduced the experimentally measured radial B_θ profiles during the implosion when B_z0=0.26T was applied. Simulation results of the radial profile of B_θ without a preembedded axial magnetic field did not qualitatively match experimental results due to magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instabilities. Our analysis emphasizes the importance of MRT instability mitigation when studying the magnetic field and current distributions in Z pinches. Discrepancies of the simulation results with experiment are discussed.We propose a phase reduction technique that provides the phase sensitivity function, which is one of the essential functions in phase reduction theory, on a target region. A system with a large degree of freedom and global coupling, such as an incompressible fluid system, is emphasized. Such a system poses challenges for the numerical calculation of the phase sensitivity function, which cannot be resolved using known algorithms such as the direct method or the adjoint method. A combination of the Jacobian-free algorithm and the Rayleigh-Ritz procedure is proposed to significantly reduce the computational cost and obtain a good approximation of the phase sensitivity function in a particular region of interest. In addition, the approximation can be assessed using the Ritz value. The breathing solution of a reaction-diffusion system and the flow past a flat plate are used to analyze the proposed methods, and the characteristics of the proposed method are discussed.Mean-field theory is an approximation replacing an extended system by a few variables. For depinning of elastic manifolds, these are the position u of its center of mass and the statistics of the forces F(u). There are two proposals how to model the latter as a random walk (ABBM model), or as uncorrelated forces at integer u (discretized particle model, DPM). While for many experiments the ABBM model (in the literature misleadingly equated with mean-field theory) makes quantitatively correct predictions for the distributions of velocities, or avalanche size and duration, the microscopic disorder force-force correlations cannot grow linearly, and thus unboundedly as a random walk, with distance. Even the effective (renormalized) disorder forces which do so at small distances are bounded at large distances. To describe both regimes, we model forces as an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The latter has the statistics of a random walk at small scales, and is uncorrelated at large scales. By connecting to results in both limits, we solve the model largely analytically, allowing us to describe in all regimes the distributions of velocity, avalanche size, and duration.
