Promenades in Enlightenment Madrid: the tapestry cartoons and new social spaces

Discusses how the painters of the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Barbara in Madrid depicted the new social spaces of the capital in the cartoons designed to be turned into tapestries for Royal apartments. The cultural and sociological role of the 'paseo' or 'promenade' is also considered.

Pulling out threads from the cosmic tapestry: Defining filaments of galaxies

Filaments of galaxies are the dominant feature of modern large-scale redshift surveys. They can account for up to perhaps half of the baryonic mass budget of the Universe and their distribution and abundance can help constrain cosmological models. However, there remains no single, definitive way in which to detect, describe, and define what filaments are and their extent. This work examines a number of physically motivated, as well as statistical, methods that can be used to define filaments and examines their relative merits.

Hairpin vortex solution in planar Couette flow: a tapestry of knotted vortices

A numerical continuation method has been carried out seeking solutions for two distinct flow configurations, planar Couette flow (PCF) and laterally heated flow in a vertical slot (LHF). We found that the spanwise vortex solution in LHF identifies a new solution in PCF. The vortical structure of our new solution has the shape of a hairpin observed ubiquitously in high-Reynolds-number turbulent flow, and we believe this discovery may provide the paradigm for a hierarchical organization of coherent structures in turbulent shear layers.
