Non-local Mesoscale Model for Multiphase Flow I will present a novel non-local mesoscale model for multiphase flow. The model is obtained by adding a non-local “surface-tension†force to the Landau-Lifshitz-Navier-Stokes equation. Next, I will discuss grid-based and meshless discretizations of the resulting stochastic partial differential equations. Our results show that the proposed mesoscale model is able to ...

Enceladus: a moon of Saturn with a life of its own?Mars has long been the primary target for the search for a second genesis of life beyond Earth. Now interest in the search for life has expanded to the subsurface oceans of the outer Solar System: particularly on Enceladus. Analysis of the plume of Enceladus by the Cassini Spacecraft indicates ...
