Computing Nonequilibrium Transport from Short-Time Transients: From Lorentz Gas to Heat Conduction in One Dimensional Chains

This paper demonstrates that the Transient Time Correlation Function (TTCF) method is a computationally efficient and precise alternative to traditional time-averaging approaches for calculating nonequilibrium transport coefficients in both linear and nonlinear regimes, as validated through case studies of the Lorentz gas and anharmonic oscillator chains.

Modeling resonance characteristics of the Chang'e-7 lander modulated by solar panel rotation under lunar south-pole thermal environment

This study establishes a high-fidelity finite-element model of the Chang'e-7 lander to demonstrate that extreme lunar south-pole thermal cycles, primarily affecting solar array stiffness, cause significant drift in the lander's fundamental resonance frequency (0.64–0.87 Hz), which critically overlaps with the seismic observation window and necessitates specific noise filtering strategies for accurate interior probing.

Modelling wetting-bouncing transitions of droplet impact on random rough surfaces

This study utilizes volume of fluid simulations to investigate droplet impact on random hydrophobic surfaces, revealing that while maximum spreading decreases linearly with increasing roughness and contact time remains constant, the interplay between Weber number and surface roughness governs wetting-bouncing transitions and delays bouncing with larger roughness.

When velocity autocorrelations mirror force autocorrelations: Exact noise-cancellation in interacting Brownian systems

This paper provides a rigorous theoretical justification for the noise-cancellation algorithm in interacting Brownian systems by proving that cross-correlations vanish in thermal equilibrium—rendering the method exact—while demonstrating that finite cross-correlations in nonequilibrium systems serve as a distinct fingerprint of non-equilibrium physics requiring specific corrections.

First Estimation of Model Parameters for Neutrino-Induced Nucleon Knockout Using Simulation-Based Inference

This paper demonstrates that simulation-based inference (SBI) is a viable and potentially superior alternative to traditional empirical tuning for determining neutrino interaction model parameters, as it successfully reproduces and slightly improves upon the MicroBooNE collaboration's tuned GENIE configuration while also approximating the NuWro simulation.
