The paper describes a study of wet foams in microgravity whose bubble size distribution evolves due to diffusive gas exchange. We focus on the comparison between the size of bubbles determined from images of the foam surface and the size of bubbles in the bulk foam, determined from Diffuse Transmission Spectroscopy (DTS). Extracting the bubble size distribution from images of a foam surface is difficult so we have used three different procedures: manual analysis, automatic analysis with a customized Python script and machine learning analysis. Once various pitfalls were identified and taken into account, all the three procedures yield identical results within error bars. DTS only allows the determination of an average bubble radius which is proportional to the photon transport mean free path ℓ * . The relation between the measured diffuse transmitted light intensity and ℓ * previously derived for slab-shaped samples of infinite lateral extent does not apply to the cuboid geometry of the cells used in the microgravity experiment. A new more general expression of the diffuse intensity transmitted with specific optical boundary conditions has been derived and applied to determine the average bubble radius. The temporal evolution of the average bubble radii deduced from DTS and of the same average radii of the bubbles measured at the sample surface is the same (to a factor probably close to one) throughout the coarsening. Finally, ground experiments were performed to compare bubble size distributions in a bulk wet foam and at its surface at times so short that diffusive gas exchange is insignificant. They were found to be similar, confirming that bubbles seen at the surface are representative of the bulk foam bubbles.

The didactic object of these developments on differential geometry of curves and surfaces is to present fine and convenient mathematical strategies, adapted to the study of capillary bridges. The common thread is to be able to calculate accurately in any situation the bending stress over the free surface, represented mathematically by the integral of the Gaussian curvature over the surface (called the total curvature) involved in the generalized Young–Laplace equation. We prove in particular that the resultant of the bending energy is directly linked to the wetting angles at the contact line.

This study proposes a theoretical contribution to the problem of the various distortions affecting axisymmetric capillary bridges, due to gravity or to bending effects linked to the Gaussian curvature. We deduce a clear hierarchization of effects between various reference configurations and put in a prominent position an exact first integral for the Young–Laplace equations, classical or generalized. These relationships are taken advantage of to obtain the theoretical expression of the varying inter-particle force, quantified effects of flexural strength. Finally, we establish a generalization of the classical “gorge method” to calculate accurately the capillary force of a profile subjected to distorsion due to bending when the gravity effects are negligible or not taken into account.

We numerically investigate an adaptive version of the parareal algorithm in the context of molecular dynamics. This adaptive variant has been originally introduced in [1]. We focus here on test cases of physical interest where the dynamics of the system is modelled by the Langevin equation and is simulated using the molecular dynamics software LAMMPS. In this work, the parareal algorithm uses a family of machine-learning spectral neighbor analysis potentials (SNAP) as fine, reference, potentials and embedded-atom method potentials (EAM) as coarse potentials. We consider a self-interstitial atom in a tungsten lattice and compute the average residence time of the system in metastable states. Our numerical results demonstrate significant computational gains using the adaptive parareal algorithm in comparison to a sequential integration of the Langevin dynamics. We also identify a large regime of numerical parameters for which statistical accuracy is reached without being a consequence of trajectorial accuracy.

We address the numerical solution of the Dirichlet problem for the two-dimensional elliptic Monge–Ampère equation using a least-squares/relaxation approach. The relaxation algorithm allows the decoupling of the differential operators from the nonlinearities of the equation, within a splitting approach. The approximation relies on mixed low order finite element methods with regularization techniques. In order to account for data singularities in non-smooth cases, we introduce an adaptive mesh refinement technique. The error indicator is based an independent formulation of the Monge–Ampère equation under divergence form, which allows to explicit a residual term. We show that the error is bounded from above by an a posteriori error indicator plus an extra term that remains to be estimated. This indicator is then used within the existing least-squares framework. The results of numerical experiments support the convergence of our relaxation method to a convex classical solution, if such a solution exists. Otherwise they support convergence to a generalized solution in a least-squares sense. Adaptive mesh refinement proves to be efficient, robust, and accurate to tackle test cases with singularities.

Linear model reduction techniques design offline low-dimensional subspaces that are tailored to the approximation of solutions to a parameterized partial differential equation, for the purpose of fast online numerical simulations. These methods, such as the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) or Reduced Basis (RB) methods, are very effective when the family of solutions has fast-decaying Karhunen–Loève eigenvalues or Kolmogorov widths, reflecting the approximability by finite-dimensional linear spaces. On the other hand, they become ineffective when these quantities have a slow decay, in particular for families of solutions to hyperbolic transport equations with parameter-dependent shock positions. The objective of this work is to explore the ability of nonlinear model reduction to circumvent this particular situation. To this end, we first describe particular notions of nonlinear widths that have a substantially faster decay for the aforementioned families. Then, we discuss a systematic approach for achieving better performance via a nonlinear reconstruction from the first coordinates of a linear reduced model approximation, thus allowing us to stay in the same “classical” framework of projection-based model reduction. We analyze the approach and report on its performance for a simple and yet instructive univariate test case.
