We consider the motion of a particle in a periodic two dimensional flow perturbed by small (molecular) diffusion. The flow is generated by a divergence free zero mean vector field. The long time behavior corresponds to the behavior of the…
Motivated by the work of D. Hoff and K. Zumbrun (Indiana Univ. Math. J. 44: 603-676, 1995), we investigate the diffusion wave phenomena in three-dimensional incompressible viscoelastic flows. By employing the representation formula of the…
Brownian motion and viscoelasticity of semiflexible polymers is a subject that has been studied for many years. Still, rigorous analysis has been hindered due to the difficulty in handling the constraint that polymer chains cannot be…
We consider an initial-boundary value problem for the time-fractional diffusion equation. We prove the equivalence of two notions of weak solutions, viscosity solutions and distributional solutions.

We study the inflow-outflow boundary value problem on an interval, the analog of the 1D shock tube problem for gas dynamics, for general systems of hyperbolic-parabolic conservation laws. In a first set of investigations, we study…
Diverse processes rely on the viscous flow of polymer solutions through porous media. In many cases, the macroscopic flow resistance abruptly increases above a threshold flow rate in a porous medium---but not in bulk solution. The reason…
In this paper we consider an acoustic problem of wave propagation through a discontinuous medium. The problem is reduced to the dissipative wave equation with distributional dissipation. We show that this problem has a so-called very weak…
