We present a statistical study of the effects induced by substructures on the deflection potential of dark matter halos in the strong lensing regime. This investigation is based on the pertubative solution around the Einstein radius (Alard 2007) in which all the information on the deflection potential is specified by only a pair of one-dimensional functions on this ring. Using direct comparison with ray-tracing solutions, we found that the iso-contours of lensed images predicted by the pertubative solution is reproduced with a mean error on their radial extension of less than 1% - in units of the Einstein radius, for reasonable substructure masses. It demonstrates the efficiency of the approximation to track possible signatures of substructures. We have evaluated these two fields and studied their properties for different lens configurations modelled either through massive dark matter halos from a cosmological N-body simulation, or via toy models of Monte Carlo distribution of substructures embedded in a triaxial Hernquist potential. As expected, the angular power spectra of these two fields tend to have larger values for larger harmonic numbers when substructures are accounted for and they can be approximated by power-laws, whose values are fitted as a function of the profile and the distribution of the substructures.

We use the SPARC code for MHD simulations with monolithic flux tubes of varying subsurface topology. Our studies involve the interactions of waves caused by a single source with subsurface magnetic fields. Mode conversion causing acoustic power to tr ickle downwards along the flux tube has been described before and can be visualized in our simulations. We show that this downward propagation causes the flux tube to act as an isolated source, creating a characteristic surface wavefield. Measuring this wavefield at the surface reveals subsurface properties of the magnetic field topology. Using time distance helioseismology, we demonstrate how to detect such a flux tube signal based on a group travel-time delay of $varDelta t = 282.6$ sec due to the wave packet spending time subsurface as a slow mode wave. Although the amplitude is small and generally superimposed by the full wave field, it can be detected if assumptions about $varDelta t$ are made. We demonstrate this for a simulation with solar like sources. This kind of study has the potential to reveal subsurface information of sunspots based on the analysis of a surface signal.

Transport properties of irradiated graphene (electrical conductivity and mobility) are numerically investigated using the real-space Kubo formalism. A micrometer-sized system consisting of millions of atoms with nanopores of various sizes and concent rations is described. Electrical conductivity and mobility as a function of carrier (hole) density are calculated to provide possible comparisons with experiments.
We aim to study a finite volume scheme to solve the two dimensional inviscid primitive equations of the atmosphere with humidity and saturation, in presence of topography and subject to physically plausible boundary conditions to the system of equati ons. In that respect, a version of a projection method is introduced to enforce the compatibility condition on the horizontal velocity field, which comes from the boundary conditions. The resulting scheme allows for a significant reduction of the errors near the topography when compared to more standard finite volume schemes. In the numerical simulations, we first present the associated good convergence results that are satisfied by the solutions simulated by our scheme when compared to particular analytic solutions. We then report on numerical experiments using realistic parameters. Finally, the effects of a random small-scale forcing on the velocity equation is numerically investigated. The numerical results show that such a forcing is responsible for recurrent large-scale patterns to emerge in the temperature and velocity fields.
Efficiently predicting the flowfield and load in aerodynamic shape optimisation remains a highly challenging and relevant task. Deep learning methods have been of particular interest for such problems, due to their success for solving inverse problem s in other fields. In the present study, U-net based deep neural network (DNN) models are trained with high-fidelity datasets to infer flow fields, and then employed as surrogate models to carry out the shape optimisation problem, i.e. to find a drag minimal profile with a fixed cross-section area subjected to a two-dimensional steady laminar flow. A level-set method as well as Bezier-curve method are used to parameterise the shape, while trained neural networks in conjunction with automatic differentiation are utilized to calculate the gradient flow in the optimisation framework. The optimised shapes and drag force values calculated from the flowfields predicted by DNN models agree well with reference data obtained via a Navier-Stokes solver and from the literature, which demonstrates that the DNN models are capable of predicting not only flowfield but also yield satisfactory aerodynamic forces. This is particularly promising as the DNNs were not specifically trained to infer aerodynamic forces. In conjunction with the fast runtime, the DNN-based optimisation framework shows promise for general aerodynamic design problems.
We investigate the renormalization of a class of gauge-invariant nonlocal quark bilinear operators, including a finite-length Wilson-line (called Wilson-line operators). The matrix elements of these operators are involved in the recent quasi-distribu tion approach for computing light-cone distributions of Hadronic Physics on the lattice. We consider two classes of Wilson-line operators: straight-line and staple-shaped operators, which are related to the parton distribution functions (PDFs) and transverse momentum-dependent distributions (TMDs), respectively. We present our one-loop results for the conversion factors of straight-line operators between the RI (appropriate for nonperturbative renormalization on the lattice) and MSbar (typically used in phenomenology) renormalization schemes in the presence of nonzero quark masses. In addition, we present the first results of our preliminary work for the renormalization of staple-shaped operators both in continuum (Dimensional Regularization) and lattice (Wilson/clover fermions and Symanzik improved gluons) regularizations. We identify the observed mixing pairs among these operators, which must be disentangled in the nonperturbative investigations of heavy-quark quasi-PDFs and of light-quark quasi-TMDs.
