Describing open quantum systems far from equilibrium is challenging, in particular when the environment is mesoscopic, when it develops nonequilibrium features during the evolution, or when the memory effects cannot be disregarded. Here, we…

The turbulent evolution of the shallow water system exhibits asymmetry in vorticity. This emergent phenomenon can be classified as "balanced", that is, it is not due to the inertial-gravity wave modes. The Quasi-Geostrophic (QG) system, the…

The non-linear Hall term present in the induction equation in the electron-magneto-hydrodynamics limit is responsible for the Hall drift of the magnetic field and, in some cases, for the so-called Hall instability. We investigate whether or…
