    • Modeling Exomoon Formation in Circumplanetary Disks Using Dustpy 

      Noto, Maurielle I. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      This study presents one-dimensional simulations of a viscously evolving, gas-starved circumplanetary disk (CPD) modeled around a Jupiter-like planet. The simulations investigate the conditions under which satellites may ...
    • Cross-Frontal Exchange at the US Northeast Shelfbreak 

      Taenzer, Lukas L. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      Exchange across the semipermeable US Northeast shelfbreak front is a potential driver of irreversible change to the continental shelf waters, its productive ecosystem, and economically valuable fisheries. However, cross-frontal ...
    • Single-Phase Heat Transfer Effects of Mixing Vane Geometries in a Narrow Rectangular Channel 

      Pisinger, Mateo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)
      Mixing vane geometries enhance the fuel-to-coolant heat transfer within nuclear reactors, which allows for more efficient use of power reactors. At the same time, their presence affects the critical heat flux (CHF), the ...
