Motivated by the diversity and complexity of two-dimensional crystals formed by triangular proteins and protein trimers, we have investigated the structures and phase behavior of hard-disk trimers. In order to mimic specific binding…
This paper is the first part of a two-fold study of mixing, i.e. the formation of layers and upwelling of buoyancy, in axially stratified Taylor--Couette flow, with fixed outer cylinder. Using linear analysis and direct numerical…
Thin viscous fluid threads falling onto a moving belt behave in a way reminiscent of a sewing machine, generating a rich variety of periodic stitch-like patterns including meanders, W-patterns, alternating loops, and translated coiling.…
In the present work the instability of a flat horizontal thin layer of a magnetic fluid (the depth of no more than 50 \mum) under the action of a uniform magnetic field is studied experimentally. It was revealed that the development of…
The response of underwater structures to a near-field explosion is coupled with the dynamics of the explosion bubble and the surrounding water. This multiphase fluid-structure interaction process is investigated using a model problem that…
We examine the ordering, pinning, and dynamics of two-dimensional pattern forming systems interacting with a periodic one-dimensional substrate. In the absence of the substrate, particles with competing long-range repulsion and short-range…
We study the stability and breakup behavior of an axisymmetric liquid thread which is surrounded by another viscous fluid layer through a long wave approximation. The two fluids are immiscible and confined in a concentrically placed…
Current analytical and numerical modelling suggest the existence of ubiquitous thin current sheets in the corona that could explain the observed heating requirements. On the other hand, new high resolution observations of the corona…
We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating outside a horizontal cylinder. We first study the evolution of the axially invariant draining flow, initiated at rest with uniform film thickness $\delta$. Non-linear simulations…

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the Fourier decomposition of the relative azimuthal angle, \Delta \phi, distribution of particle pairs yields a large cos(3\Delta \phi) component, extending out to large rapidity separations \Delta…
The rational function approximation method, density functional theory, and NVT Monte Carlo simulation are used to obtain the density profiles of multicomponent hard-sphere mixtures near a planar hard wall. Binary mixtures with a size ratio…

This is the first paper in a series dealing with optical Nitrogen spectroscopy of O-type stars, aiming at the analysis of Nitrogen abundances. We implemented a new Nitrogen model atom into the NLTE atmosphere/spectrum synthesis code…
We use molecular dynamics to study the ordering of a nematic liquid crystal around a spherical particle or droplet. Homeotropic boundary conditions and strong anchoring create a hedgehog director configuration on the particle surface and in…
It is shown that the anomalous sharp increasing of the strength of the near-side ridge structures observed in Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 62 GeV and $\sqrt{s}=$ 200 GeV and the onset of the ridge structure in pPb and in pp collisions…
In the context of finite elasticity, we propose plate models describing the spontaneous bending of nematic elastomer thin films due to variations along the thickness of the nematic order parameters. Reduced energy functionals are deduced…
We study the director field around a spherical particle immersed in a uniformly aligned nematic liquid crystal and assume that the molecules prefer a homeotropic orientation at the surface of the particle. Three structures are possible: a…
The ground state of the t-t'-J ladder with four legs favors a striped charge distribution for the parameters corresponding to hole-doped cuprate superconductors. We investigate the dynamical spin and charge structure factors of the model by…
