Magnetic element tracking is often used to study the transport and diffusion of the magnetic field on the solar photosphere. From the analysis of the displacement spectrum of these tracers, it has been recently agreed that a regime of super-diffusivity dominates the solar surface. Quite habitually this result is discussed in the framework of fully developed turbulence. But the debate whether the super-diffusivity is generated by a turbulent dispersion process, by the advection due to the convective pattern, or by even another process, is still open, as is the question about the amount of diffusivity at the scales relevant to the local dynamo process. To understand how such peculiar diffusion in the solar atmosphere takes places, we compared the results from two different data-sets (ground-based and space-borne) and developed a simulation of passive tracers advection by the deformation of a Voronoi network. The displacement spectra of the magnetic elements obtained by the data-sets are consistent in retrieving a super-diffusive regime for the solar photosphere, but the simulation also shows a super-diffusive displacement spectrum: its competitive advection process can reproduce the signature of super-diffusion. Therefore, it is not necessary to hypothesize a totally developed turbulence regime to explain the motion of the magnetic elements on the solar surface.

Physics-informed neural networks (NN) are an emerging technique to improve spatial resolution and enforce physical consistency of data from physics models or satellite observations. A super-resolution (SR) technique is explored to reconstruct high-re solution images ($4times$) from lower resolution images in an advection-diffusion model of atmospheric pollution plumes. SR performance is generally increased when the advection-diffusion equation constrains the NN in addition to conventional pixel-based constraints. The ability of SR techniques to also reconstruct missing data is investigated by randomly removing image pixels from the simulations and allowing the system to learn the content of missing data. Improvements in S/N of $11%$ are demonstrated when physics equations are included in SR with $40%$ pixel loss. Physics-informed NNs accurately reconstruct corrupted images and generate better results compared to the standard SR approaches.
We study analytically the joint dispersion of Gaussian patches of salt and colloids in linear flows, and how salt gradients accelerate or delay colloid spreading by diffusiophoretic effects. Because these flows have constant gradients in space, the p roblem can be solved almost entirely for any set of parameters, leading to predictions of how the mixing time and the Batchelor scale are modified by diffusiophoresis. We observe that the evolution of global concentrations, defined as the inverse of the patches areas, are very similar to those obtained experimentally in chaotic advection. They are quantitatively explained by examining the area dilatation factor, in which diffusive and diffusiophoretic effects are shown to be additive and appear as the divergence of a diffusive contribution or of a drift velocity. An analysis based on compressibility is developed in the salt-attracting case, for which colloids are first compressed before dispersion, to predict the maximal colloid concentration as a function of the parameters. This maximum is found not to depend on the flow stretching rate nor on its topology (strain or shear flow), but only on the characteristics of salt and colloids (diffusion coefficients and diffusiophoretic constant) and the initial size of the patches.
Super Star Clusters (Mecl > 10^5 Msol) are the largest stellar nurseries in our local Universe, containing hundreds of thousands to millions of young stars within a few light years. Many of these systems are found in external galaxies, especially in pairs of interacting galaxies, and in some dwarf galaxies, but relatively few in disk galaxies like our own Milky Way. We show that a possible explanation for this difference is the presence of shear in normal spiral galaxies which impedes the formation of the very large and dense super star clusters but prefers the formation of loose OB associations possibly with a less massive cluster at the center. In contrast, in interacting galaxies and in dwarf galaxies, regions can collapse without having a large-scale sense of rotation. This lack of rotational support allows the giant clouds of gas and stars to concentrate into a single, dense and gravitationally bound system.
Numerical simulations of cardiovascular mass transport pose significant challenges due to the wide range of Peclet numbers and backflow at Neumann boundaries. In this paper we present and discuss several numerical tools to address these challenges in the context of a stabilized finite element computational framework. To overcome numerical instabilities when backflow occurs at Neumann boundaries, we propose an approach based on the prescription of the total flux. In addition, we introduce a consistent flux outflow boundary condition and demonstrate its superior performance over the traditional zero diffusive flux boundary condition. Lastly, we discuss discontinuity capturing (DC) stabilization techniques to address the well-known oscillatory behavior of the solution near the concentration front in advection-dominated flows.We present numerical examples in both idealized and patient-specific geometries to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed procedures. The three contributions dis-cussed in this paper enable to successfully address commonly found challenges when simulating mass transport processes in cardiovascular flows.

We provide a preliminary comparison of the dispersion properties, specifically the time-amplification factor, the scaled group velocity and the error in the phase speed of four spatiotemporal discretization schemes utilized for solving the one-dimens ional (1D) linear advection diffusion reaction (ADR) equation: (a) An explicit (RK2) temporal integration combined with the Optimal Upwind Compact Scheme (or OUCS3) and the central difference scheme (CD2) for second order spatial discretization, (b) a fully implicit mid-point rule for time integration coupled with the OUCS3 and the Leles compact scheme for first and second order spatial discretization, respectively, (c) An implicit (mid-point rule)-explicit (RK2) or IMEX time integration blended with OUCS3 and Leles compact scheme (where the IMEX time integration follows the same ideology as introduced by Ascher et al.), and (d) the IMEX (mid-point/RK2) time integration melded with the New Combined Compact Difference scheme (or NCCD scheme). Analysis reveal the superior resolution features of the IMEX-NCCD scheme including an enhanced region of neutral stability (a region where the amplification factor is close to one), a diminished region of spurious propagation characteristics (or a region of negative group velocity) and a smaller region of nonzero phase speed error. The dispersion error of these numerical schemes through the role of q-waves is further investigated using the novel error propagation equation for the 1D linear ADR equation. Again, the in silico experiments divulge excellent Dispersion Relation Preservation (DRP) properties of the IMEX-NCCD scheme including minimal dissipation via implicit filtering and negligible unphysical oscillations (or Gibbs phenomena) on coarser grids.
