Melt flows associated with a Czochralski crystal growth process was investigated to better understand the transition from a steady laminar regime to an unsteady one as the Grashof number increases. The kinetic energy of the flow as a function of time was examined as an indication of stability. Three-dimensional solutions were interpolated onto a two-dimensional unstructured mesh to compute the Reynolds average mean flow and its fluctuations. Our simulations showed that the transition to unsteady three-dimensional flow begins at a Grashof number of approximately 3.0 million. At higher Grashof numbers (e.g., 6.6 million), the melt flow is fully unsteady, three-dimensional turbulent flow. The simulations further indicated that the melt flow at a Grashof number of 6.6 million is statistically stable, which suggested the Reynolds quasi-steady assumption is valid in this case.

The Cauchy horizon inside a perturbed Kerr black hole develops an instability that transforms it into a curvature singularity. We solve for the linearized Weyl scalars ψ0 and ψ4 and for the curvature scalar RαβγδRαβγδ along outgoing null rays approaching the Cauchy horizon in the interior of perturbed Kerr black holes using the Teukolsky equation, and compare our results with those found in perturbation analysis. Our results corroborate the previous perturbation analysis result that at its early parts the Cauchy horizon evolves into a deformationally weak, null, scalar-curvature singularity. We find excellent agreement for ψ0(u=const,v), where u, v are advanced and retarded times, respectively. We do find, however, that the exponential growth rate of RαβγδRαβγδ(u=const,v) approaching the singularity is dramatically slower than that found in perturbation analysis, and that the angular frequency is in excellent agreement.

We present two methods to include the asymptotic domain of a background spacetime in null directions for numerical solutions of evolution equations so that both the radiation extraction problem and the outer boundary problem are solved. The first method is based on the geometric conformal approach, the second is a coordinate based approach. We apply these methods to the case of a massless scalar wave equation on a Kerr spacetime. Our methods are designed to allow existing codes to reach the radiative zone by including future null infinity in the computational domain with relatively minor modifications. We demonstrate the flexibility of the methods by considering both Boyer-Lindquist and ingoing Kerr coordinates near the black hole. We also confirm numerically predictions concerning tail decay rates for scalar fields at null infinity in Kerr spacetime due to Hod for the first time.
In this expository note we review some recent results on Landau damping in the nonlinear Vlasov equations, focusing specifically on the recent construction of nonlinear echo solutions by the author [arXiv:1605.06841] ...
