Electron Density Depletion in Reentry Plasma Flows Using Pulsed Electric Fields

This paper presents a fully-coupled simulation demonstrating that high-voltage pulsed electric fields can effectively mitigate reentry communication blackout by depleting electron density in the plasma sheath, thereby reducing signal attenuation from 60% to 4% with a lightweight, feasible power system, while revealing that ion kinetics primarily govern the sheath's topology.

Mapping surface height dynamics to subsurface flow physics in free-surface turbulent flow using a shallow recurrent decoder

This paper introduces the SHallow REcurrent Decoder (SHRED), a novel deep learning architecture that successfully reconstructs full-state subsurface turbulent flow fields from sparse surface height measurements or video footage, enabling robust inference up to two integral length scales deep using as few as three sensors.

Waves in a shear flow: transition between the KH, Holmboe and Miles instability

This paper investigates shear-driven wave generation in a two-fluid system with an exponential velocity profile, revealing a novel transition from Kelvin-Helmholtz to Holmboe and finally to Miles critical layer instabilities as the density ratio decreases, a finding validated by both linear theory and nonlinear simulations that demonstrate the first unified observation of all three canonical instabilities within a single background state.

Discovering a low-dimensional temperature control architecture across animals

By applying model selection and dynamical systems theory to body temperature data from a hibernating Arctic ground squirrel, researchers identified a low-dimensional, environmentally sensitive control architecture that not only explains interbout arousals but also qualitatively predicts temperature modulation patterns across diverse species including birds, shrews, and bears.

Light-induced nonadiabatic photodissociation of the NaH molecule including electron-rotation coupling

This study employs pump-probe numerical simulations to investigate the light-induced nonadiabatic photodissociation of the NaH molecule, revealing how the interplay between multiple electronic conical intersections, electron-rotation coupling, and rotational motion governs ultrafast dissociation probabilities, kinetic energy release, and fragment angular distributions.
