Percolation

Assume a porous solid contains a network of small channels, which are all open or closed with a certain probability. Depending on this probability, will a fluid be able to flow through the solid?

Let Me Go

This music video is a pure fractal animation made for Flinch, who is an electronic musician from North America. It is made in one of the well-known and still-under-evolution fractal programs Mandelbulb3D, except for minor post-render adjustments in Adobe Premiere. The animation is altogether a combination of 4 basic fractal formulas and what is seen during the 5:45 of the play is the result of variations in the constructing numeric variables defining these formulas or those controlling environmental phenomena like colors, lights, etc.

Crystals and Mathematics

Humans have been fascinated by crystals for a long time. Its regular geometry, its special symmetry, but also its diversity in colours surprise and please us. In this article, an overview of the connection between crystals and mathematics is given. It is a contribution to the International Year of Crystallography 2014.

Symétrie zéro-dimensionnelle

Cet instantané traite de la symétrie zéro-dimensionnelle. Grâce à des découvertes récentes, nous comprenons mieux ces symétries que ce qui était auparavant cru possible. Bien qu’encore très incomplète, une vision de la symétrie zéro-dimensionnelle commence à émerger.

Drogue, désherbants et simulation numérique

 

Le gouvernement colombien pulvérise des désherbants au-dessus des champs de coca dans le but de réduire la production de drogue. Ces épandages aériens, en dérivant au-delà de la frontière colombo-équatorienne, ont pris l’ampleur d’un problème international. Nous avons développé un modèle mathématique de la dérivation des herbicides, permettant de simuler le phénomène.
