Robust empirical constitutive laws for granular materials in air or in a viscous fluid have been expressed in terms of timescales based on the dynamics of a single particle. However, some behaviours such as viscosity bifurcation or shear…
Pipe flow and many other shear flows show a transition to turbulence at flow rates for which the laminar profile is stable against infinitesimal perturbations. In this brief review the recent progress in the understanding of this transition…

Garc\'ia-Aguilar et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett 126, 038001 (2021)] have shown that the deformations of "shape-shifting droplets" are consistent with an elastic model, that, unlike previous models, includes the intrinsic curvature of the frozen…
The slow flow of amorphous solids exhibits striking heterogeneities: swift localised particle rearrangements take place in the midst of a more or less homogeneously deforming medium. Recently, experimental as well as numerical work has…
Experimental observations of droplet size sustained oscillations are reported in a two-phase flow between a lamellar and a sponge phase. Under shear flow, this system presents two different steady states made of monodisperse multilamellar…
