AMR‐Wind: A Performance‐Portable, High‐Fidelity Flow Solver for Wind Farm Simulations by Michael B. Kuhn, Marc T. Henry de Frahan, Prakash Mohan, Georgios Deskos, Matt Churchfield, Lawrence Cheung, Ashesh Sharma, Ann Almgren, Shreyas Ananthan, Michael J. Brazell, Luis A. Martínez‐Tossas, Regis Thedin, Jon Rood, Philip Sakievich, Ganesh Vijayakumar, Weiqun Zhang, Michael Sprague

“…The verification studies, which include a novel actuator line test case, indicate that AMR‐Wind is spatially and temporally second‐order accurate. The validation studies demonstrate that the key physics capabilities implemented in the code, including actuator disk models, actuator line models, turbulence models, and large eddy simulation (LES) models for atmospheric boundary layers, perform well in comparison to reference data from established computational tools and theory. …”

Emergence of cellular nematic order is a conserved feature of gastrulation in animal embryos by Xin Li, Robert J. Huebner, Margot L. K. Williams, Jessica Sawyer, Mark Peifer, John B. Wallingford, D. Thirumalai

“…To explain the common physical mechanism, we created a theoretical model that not only explains the experimental observations but also predicts that the nematic phase should be disrupted upon loss of planar cell polarity (frog), cell adhesion (frog), and notochord boundary formation (zebrafish). …”

Spatiotemporal orchestration of calcium-cAMP oscillations on AKAP/AC nanodomains is governed by an incoherent feedforward loop. by Lingxia Qiao, Michael Getz, Ben Gross, Brian Tenner, Jin Zhang, Padmini Rangamani

“…In this work, we develop computational models of the Ca2+/cAMP pathway and AKAP/AC nanodomain formation that give rise to the two important predictions: instead of an arbitrary phase difference, the out-of-phase Ca2+/cAMP oscillation reaches Ca2+ trough and cAMP peak simultaneously, which is defined as inversely out-of-phase; the in-phase and inversely out-of-phase oscillations associated with Ca2+-cAMP dynamics on and away from the nanodomains can be explained by an incoherent feedforward loop. …”

Boltzmann energy-based image analysis demonstrates that extracellular domain size differences explain protein segregation at immune synapses. by Nigel J Burroughs, Karsten Köhler, Vladimir Miloserdov, Michael L Dustin, P Anton van der Merwe, Daniel M Davis

“…Here, we address this challenge, developing a new methodology for analysing and quantifying image data and its integration with biophysical models. Specifically we fit a binding kinetics model to 2 colour fluorescence data for cytoskeleton independent synapses (2 and 3D) and test whether the observed inverse correlation between fluorophores conforms to size dependent exclusion, and further, whether patterned states are predicted when model parameters are estimated on individual synapses. …”
