Small-scale locomotion plays an important role in biology. Different modelling approaches have been proposed in the past. The simplest model is an infinite inextensible two-dimensional waving sheet, {originally introduced by Taylor}, which…
In this paper, we investigate the incompressible steady Navier-Stokes system with no-slip boundary condition in a two-dimensional channel. Given any flux, the existence of solutions is proved as long as the width of cross-section of the…
The large structures in the outer layer of turbulent wall flows are of great physical importance, because they contain a substantial fraction of the streamwise kinetic energy and of the Reynolds stresses. Nevertheless, the organization of…
Coherent structures/motions in turbulence inherently give rise to intermittent signals with sharp peaks, heavy-skirt, and skewed distributions of velocity increments, highlighting the non-Gaussian nature of turbulence. That suggests that…
In this paper we study a finite-depth layer of viscous incompressible fluid in dimension $n \ge 2$, modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations. The fluid is assumed to be bounded below by a flat rigid surface and above by a free, moving…
We establish that solitary stationary waves in three dimensional viscous incompressible fluids are a generic phenomenon and that every such solution is a vanishing wave-speed limit along a one parameter family of traveling waves. The…
The Navier-Stokes equation for incompressible liquid is considered in the limit of infinitely large Reynolds number. It is assumed that the flow instability leads to generation of steady-state large-scale pulsations. The excitation and…

The evolution of the interface separating a conduit of light, viscous fluid rising buoyantly through a heavy, more viscous, exterior fluid at small Reynolds numbers is governed by the interplay between nonlinearity and dispersion. Previous…
How predictable are turbulent flows? Here we use theoretical estimates and shell model simulations to argue that Eulerian spontaneous stochasticity, a manifestation of the non-uniqueness of the solutions to the Euler equation that is…
In Stokes flow, Purcell's scallop theorem forbids objects with time-reversible (reciprocal) swimming strokes from moving. In the presence of inertia, this restriction is eased and reciprocally deforming bodies can swim. A number of recent…
Abrupt transition to turbulence may occur in pipe and channel flows at moderate flow rates, an unexpected event according to linear stability theory, and has been an open problem in fluid dynamics for more than a century. Extensive…
