Statistics of velocity gradient and vortex sheet structures in polymeric turbulent von K{á}rm{á}n swirling flow

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Yi-Bao Zhang, Ping-Fan Yang, Heng-Dong Xi, | Summary: Investigations into the effects of polymers on small-scale statistics and flow patterns were conducted in a turbulent von Karman swirling (VKS) flow. We employed the tomographic particle image velocimetry (Tomo-PIV) technique to obtain full information on three-dimensional […]

Identifying biases of the Majorana scattering invariant

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Isidora Araya Day, Antonio L. R. Manesco, Michael Wimmer, Anton R. Akhmerov, | Summary: The easily accessible experimental signatures of Majorana modes are ambiguous and only probe topology indirectly: for example, quasi-Majorana states mimic most properties of Majoranas. Establishing a correspondence between an experiment and a theoretical […]

Towards Calibrating Financial Market Simulators with High-frequency Data

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Peng Yang, Junji Ren, Feng Wang, Ke Tang, | Summary: The fidelity of financial market simulation is restricted by the so-called "non-identifiability" difficulty when calibrating high-frequency data. This paper first analyzes the inherent loss of data information in this difficulty, and proposes to use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test […]
