Assessing compounding climate-related stresses and development pathways on the power sector in the central U.S. by Gurgel, Angelo Costa, Reilly, John, Morris, Jennifer, Schlosser, C. Adam, Gao, Xiang, Yuan, Mei, Tapia-Ahumada, Karen

“…Potential supply gaps range from 5% in the North Central region under mild changes in climate to 21% in the Lakes-Mid Atlantic region under more severe climate change. We find increases in electricity demand to be more important in determining the size of the potential supply gap than stresses on power generation, while larger shares of renewables in the power system contribute to lower supply gaps. …”

Anomalous crystalline ordering of particles in a viscoelastic fluid under high shear by Sun, Sijie, Xue, Nan, Aime, Stefano, Kim, Hyoungsoo, Tang, Jizhou, McKinley, Gareth H., Stone, Howard A., Weitz, David A.

“…Here, we use a fully immersed parallel plate geometry to measure the high-shear-rate behavior of a suspension of particles in a viscoelastic fluid. We find an unexpected separation of the particles within the suspension resulting in the formation of a layer of particles in the center of the cell. …”

Parallel Algorithms for Hierarchical Nucleus Decomposition by Shi, Jessica, Dhulipala, Laxman, Shun, Julian

“…Nucleus decompositions have been shown to be a useful tool for finding dense subgraphs. The coreness value of a clique represents its density based on the number of other cliques it is adjacent to. …”

Crossover from viscous fingering to fracturing in cohesive wet granular media: a photoporomechanics study by Meng, Yue, Li, Wei, Juanes, Ruben

“…We inject water into the oil-filled photoelastic granular pack, varying the injection flow rate, defending-fluid viscosity, and intergranular cohesion. We find two different modes of fluid invasion: viscous fingering, and fracturing with leak-off of the injection fluid. …”

Harnessing Instability Mechanisms in Airfoil Flow for Data-Driven Forecasting of Extreme Events by Barthel, Benedikt, Sapsis, Themistoklis P.

“…Through a wavelet and spectral analysis of the pressure and vorticity, we find that the extreme events arise due to the instability of a specific frequency component distinct from the vortex shedding mode. …”

Microscale advection governs microbial growth and oxygen consumption in macroporous aggregates by Shen, Rachel, Borer, Benedict, Ciccarese, Davide, Salek, M. Mehdi, Babbin, Andrew R.

“…Here, we quantify how pores through microenvironments that permit flow can elevate nutrient supply to the resident bacterial community using a microfluidic experimental system and gain further insights from coupled population-based and computational fluid dynamics simulations. We find that the microscale structure determines the relative contribution of advection vs diffusion, and even a modest flow through a pore in the range of 10 µm s−1 can increase the carrying capacity of a microenvironment by 10%. …”

Intraday adaptation to extreme temperatures in outdoor activity by Fan, Yichun, Wang, Jianghao, Obradovich, Nick, Zheng, Siqi

“…Here, we construct an hourly outdoor leisure activity database using billions of cell phone location requests in 10,499 parks in 2017 all over China to investigate the within-day outdoor activity rhythm. We find that hourly temperatures above 30 °C and 35 °C depress outdoor leisure activities by 5% (95% confidence interval, CI 3–7%) and by 13% (95% CI 10–16%) respectively. …”

Quantifying the internal and external drivers of Southeast Asian rainfall extremes on decadal timescales by Wang, Shouyi, Ummenhofer, Caroline C., Murty, Sujata A., Nguyen, Hung T. T., Buckley, Brendan M.

“…Here we utilize the Community Earth System Model Last Millennium Ensemble (CESM-LME) to quantify the contributions of internal and external drivers to decadal-scale rainfall extremes in the Southeast Asia region. We find that internal variability was dominant in driving both Southeast Asian drought and pluvial extremes on decadal timescales although external forcing impacts are also detectable. …”

Inferring electrospray emission characteristics from molecular dynamics and simulated retarding potential analysis by Schroeder, Madeleine, Gallud, Ximo, Petro, Elaine, Jia-Richards, Oliver, Lozano, Paulo C

“…Fragmentation rates and beam composition are inferred for experimental data based on the molecular dynamics and cluster acceleration simulations.

Evaluation of wind resource uncertainty on energy production estimates for offshore wind farms by Klemmer, Kerry S, Condon, Emily P, Howland, Michael F

“…Error and uncertainty from the TI and data sources are quantified through forward analysis using an analytical wake model. We find that the impact of TI error on AEP predictions is negligible, while data source uncertainty results in 0.4%–3.7% uncertainty over feasible candidate hub heights for offshore wind farms, which can exceed interannual variability.…”
