We study diffusion processes that are stopped or reflected on the boundary of a domain. The generator of the process is assumed to contain two parts: the main part that degenerates on the boundary in a direction orthogonal to the boundary…

This work considers the transition to unsteadiness in the wake of 2D slender bodies, and questions the relevance of the generally accepted scenario involving a region of absolute instability within the near wake. The case of a thin plate at…

We introduce an elementary model of a turbulent boundary layer over a flat surface, given as a vertical random distribution of spanwise Lamb-Oseen vortex configurations placed over a non-slip boundary condition line. We are able to…

We present a stochastic evolutionary model obtained through a perturbation of Kauffman's maximally rugged model, which is recovered as a special case. Our main results are: (i) existence of a percolation-like phase transition in the finite…

When a droplet is brought in contact with an undercooled surface, it wets the substrate and solidifies at the same time. The interplay between the phase transition effects and the contact-line motion, leading to its arrest, remains poorly…

This is a contribution to the program of dynamical approach to mean curvature flow initiated by Colding and Minicozzi. In this paper, we prove two main theorems. The first one is local in nature and the second one is global. In this first…

We tackle the question of whether the presence of particles in a pipe flow can influence the linear transient growth of infinitesimal perturbations, in view of better understanding the behaviour of particulate pipe flows in regimes of…
