Article Abstract

We study the equilibrium time correlations for the conserved fields of classical anharmonic chains and argue that their dynamic correlator can be predicted on the basis of nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics. In fact, our scheme is more general and would also cover other one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, for example, classical and quantum fluids. Fluctuating hydrodynamics is a nonlinear system of conservation laws with noise. For a single mode, it is equivalent to the noisy Burgers equation, for which explicit solutions are available. Our focus is the case of several modes. No exact solution has been found so far, and we rely on a one-loop approximation. The resulting mode-coupling equations have a quadratic memory kernel and describe the time evolving 3×3 correlator matrix of the locally conserved fields. Long time asymptotics is computed analytically, and finite time properties are obtained through a numerical simulation of the mode-coupling equations.

Riblets inspired by natural shark skin denticles are widely recognized for their drag-reducing performance. Although previous research has predominantly focused on two-dimensional riblet geometries, three-dimensional topographies remain underexplored due to the complex architecture of denticle-inspired surfaces. Natural riblet arrays, comprising thousands of interconnected denticles, pose challenges in terms of parameterization, simulation, and fabrication.

Daily fluctuations in coastal hypoxia significantly impact marine ecosystems, requiring forecasts that balance efficiency and accuracy. Statistical models are computationally efficient but often fall short in prediction performance, while mechanistic models are accurate yet resource-intensive. Here, we present a lightweight artificial intelligence (AI) model for daily hypoxia forecasting on the Louisiana-Texas shelf, trained and validated using a 14-year mechanistic ROMS hindcast.

Hydrodynamic Responses and Machine Learning-Based Shape Classification of Harbor Seal Whiskers in the Wake of Bluff Bodies.

Biomimetics (Basel)

Harbor seals, equipped with their uniquely structured whiskers, demonstrate remarkable proficiency in tracking the trajectories of prey within dark and turbid marine environments. This study experimentally investigates the wake-induced vibrations of an elastically supported whisker model placed in the wakes of circular, square, and equilateral triangular cylinders of varying dimensions. Thereafter, a machine learning model is trained to identify and classify these intrinsic responses.

The high-temperature plasma in the solar interior generates stochastic gravitational waves (GWs). Owing to its significance as the primary source of high-frequency GWs in the Solar System, we reexamine this phenomenon by highlighting some physical processes, including the contribution of macroscopic hydrodynamic fluctuations. Our analysis builds upon several studies of axion emission from the Sun, particularly in relation to the treatment of plasma effects.

Hydrodynamically Controlled Abiotic Recycling of Organic Phosphorus in Riparian Sediments.

Environ Sci Technol

August 2025

State Key Laboratory of Lake and Watershed Science for Water Security, Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210008, China.

Organic phosphorus (OP), a major phosphorus pool in sediments, can be converted into bioavailable phosphate. Although biological activity is considered the primary driver of OP dephosphorylation, the abiotic mechanism under redox oscillations remains unexplained. Here, we show that hydrological perturbation-driven redox fluctuations can mediate abiotic phosphate release from OP.
