——This paper presents ongoing results on the combination of ad-hoc network routing algorithms along with network coding to optimize the throughputs of multi-flows. After the presentation of the principle of the multi-flows route codetermination, the paper describes an optimization in terms of delegated nodes to extend the topologies the optimization may be applied to. Results on specific and ra...

We develop analytical tools for performance analysis of multiple TCP flows (which could be using TCP CUBIC, TCP Compound, TCP New Reno) passing through a multi-hop network. We first compute average window size for a single TCP connection (using CUBIC or Compound TCP) under random losses. We then consider two techniques to compute steady state throughput for different TCP flows in a multi-hop ne...

SPH is a relatively new, rapidly evolving Lagrangian meshless method that is currently being applied in a large variety of cases, ranging from astrophysics to nuclear engineering. However, most of these cases have been treated so far as single phase cases, therefore limiting both the accuracy of the method and the range of cases that can be solved and importantly the physics captured. However, ...

– Considering recent results revealing the existence of multi-scale rigid clusters of grains embedded in granular surface flows, i.e. flows down an erodible bed, we describe here the surface flows rheology through a non-local constitutive law. The predictions of the resulting model are compared quantitatively to experimental results: The model succeeds to account for the counter-intuitive shape...
