Freeze fracturing of elastic porous media: a mathematical model
(Royal Society, 2015-02-11)
We present a mathematical model of the fracturing of water-saturated rocks and other porous materials in cold climates. Ice growing inside porous rocks causes large pressures to develop that can significantly damage the ...
Stability analysis of matrix Wiener–Hopf factorization of Daniele–Khrapkov class and reliable approximate factorization
(Royal Society PublishingProceedings of the Royal Society of London A, 2015-05-06)
This paper presents new stability results for matrix Wiener–Hopf factorization. The first part of the paper examines conditions for stability of Wiener–Hopf factorization in the Daniele–Khrapkov class. The second part of ...
On the generation of waves during frontogenesis
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2015-06-30)
Density fronts are ubiquitous features of the ocean and atmosphere boundary layers. Boundary layers are characterised by strong surface fluxes of heat, water and momentum, and exhibit intense eddy fields that are associated ...
Non-parametric Image Registration of Airborne LiDAR, Hyperspectral and Photographic Imagery of Wooded Landscapes
(IEEEIEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2015-06-02)
There is much current interest in using multisensor airborne remote sensing to monitor the structure and biodiversity of woodlands. This paper addresses the application of nonparametric (NP) image-registration techniques ...
Metachronal waves in the flagellar beating of Volvox and their hydrodynamic origin
(Royal Society PublishingJournal of the Royal Society Interface, 2015-06-03)
Groups of eukaryotic cilia and flagella are capable of coordinating their beating
over large scales, routinely exhibiting collective dynamics in the form of
metachronal waves. The origin of this behaviour—possibly influenced ...
Spin alignment and differential accretion in merging black-hole binaries
(Oxford University PressMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015-06-29)
Interactions between a supermassive black-hole binary and the surrounding accretion disc can both assist the binary inspiral and align the black-hole spins to the disc angular momentum. While binary migration is due to ...
Thin-sheet flow between coalescing bubbles
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015-05-20)
When two spherical bubbles touch, a hole is formed in the fluid sheet between them, and capillary pressure acting on its tightly curved edge drives an outward radial flow which widens the hole joining the bubbles. Recent ...
Interpreting a CMS excess in lljj+missing-transverse-momentum with the golden cascade of the minimal supersymmetric standard model
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review D, 2015-06-29)
The CMS experiment recently reported an excess consistent with an invariant mass edge in opposite-sign same flavor (OSSF) leptons, when produced in conjunction with at least two jets and missing transverse momentum. We ...
Strictly continuous extension of functionals with linear growth to the space BV
(Oxford University PressThe Quarterly Journal of Mathematics, 2015-06-24)
In this paper, we prove that the integral functional F[u]: BV(Ω;ℝ^m) → ℝ defined by
F[u] := ∫_Ω f(x,u(x),∇u(x))dx + ∫_Ω ∫_1^0 f^∞ (x, u^θ (x), (d D^s u)/(d |D^s u|) (x)
is continuous over BV(Ω;ℝ^m), with respect to ...
