Neural operator transformers capture bifurcating drift wave turbulence in fusion plasma simulations

This paper demonstrates that transformer-based neural operator surrogates can accurately and efficiently emulate the complex, multiscale dynamics of drift-wave turbulence bifurcation in fusion plasmas, including rare transitions and long-term evolution, thereby offering a computationally viable alternative to direct numerical simulations for real-time control and optimization.

Laws of mutual spiral wave interaction in excitable media

This paper establishes a Newtonian-like framework for interacting spiral waves in excitable media, defining a time-varying "mass" and collision-based forces that govern their drift and complex N-body dynamics, with significant implications for understanding cardiac fibrillation.

Accelerating Numerical Relativity Simulations with New Multistep Fourth-Order Runge-Kutta Methods

This paper introduces and validates new explicit fourth-order Multistep Runge-Kutta (MSRK) methods that accelerate Numerical Relativity simulations by reusing data from previous time steps to reduce intermediate stage evaluations, while providing a procedure to tune coefficients for maximizing stable time step sizes.

Unsteadiness in turbulent separated flow over a three-dimensional Gaussian bump

This study investigates unsteady separated flow over a three-dimensional Gaussian bump at a Reynolds number of $2.26\times10^5$, identifying four distinct broadband phenomena and revealing that the very-low-frequency spanwise meandering of the wake is dynamically coupled with the streamwise stretching of the separation zone.

Line-Tied Flux Rope Relaxation and Reconnection: A 3D Kinetic Case Study

This study utilizes a newly developed parallel-kinetic-perpendicular-moment (PKPM) model to simulate the 3D relaxation and reconnection of line-tied flux ropes, revealing a current-dependent transition between diamagnetic and paramagnetic regimes where macroscopic structural differences mask underlying kinetic similarities that are effectively quantified using squashing factor and quasi-potential diagnostics.

A Tutorial on Bayesian Analysis of Linear Shock Compression Data

This tutorial presents a computationally efficient, two-step Bayesian framework for quantifying uncertainty in linear shock compression data by deriving posterior distributions for model parameters and propagating them through Rankine-Hugoniot equations to generate multiple consistent Hugoniot curves, offering a more robust and interpretable alternative to traditional least squares and bootstrapping methods.

High-Harmonic Coherent Pulse Generation in a Storage Ring Using Multiple-Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation

This paper proposes a multiple-echo-enabled harmonic generation (multi-EEHG) scheme that applies successive excitation-echo cycles to a single stored bunch within one revolution, enabling the generation of high-brightness, few-meV coherent X-ray pulses at multiple wavelengths for simultaneous multi-beamline operation in next-generation storage-ring light sources.

On the interpretation of molecular photoexcitation with long and ultrashort laser pulses

This paper investigates how the characteristics of laser pulses (long versus ultrashort) shape the initial excited molecular state, demonstrating that the exact factorization framework challenges standard Born-Huang concepts like population transfer and vertical excitation by revealing a more complex dependence on the light source.
