The present paper is concerned with large-time behavior of solutions to an outflow problem for an ideal polytropic model of compressible viscous gases in one-dimensional half space, and with a convergence rate of solutions toward a…
In rarefied gas flows, the spatial grid size could vary by several orders of magnitude in a single flow configuration (e.g., inside the Knudsen layer it is at the order of mean free path of gas molecules, while in the bulk region it is at a…
The diabatic approach to collective nuclear motion is reformulated in the local-density approximation in order to treat the normal modes of a spherical nuclear droplet analytically. In a first application the adiabatic isoscalar modes are…
Experimental and theoretical studies on millimetre-sized droplets suggest that at low Reynolds number the difference between the drag force on a circulating water droplet and that on a rigid sphere is very small (less than 1 %) (LeClair et…
Intuitively, slow droplets stick to a surface and faster droplets splash or bounce. However, recent work suggests that on non-wetting surfaces, whether microdroplets stick or bounce depends only on their size and fluid properties, but not…
We simulated models of diffusion and aggregation in long pores of small widths in order to represent the basic mechanisms of coke deposition in catalysts' pores. Coke precursors are represented by particles injected at the pore entrance.…

Solvent exchange is a simple method to produce surface nanodroplets on a substrate for a wide range of applications by displacing a solution of good solvent, poor solvent and oil (Solution A) by a poor solvent (Solution B). In this work, we…
We suggested a one-fluid model of a turbulent dilute suspension which accounts for the ``two-way'' fluid-particle interactions by $k$-dependent effective density of suspension and additional damping term in the Navier-Stokes equation. We…
When illuminated by a laser, nano particles immersed in water can very quickly and strongly heat up, leading to the nucleation of so called vapor bubbles, which have huge application potential in e.g. solar light-harvesting, catalysis, and…
The formation and entrapment of gas bubbles during solidification significantly influence the microstructure and mechanical properties of materials, from metallic alloys to ice. While gas segregation at the solidification front is…
This paper concerns periodic solutions for a 1D-model with nonlocal velocity given by the periodic Hilbert transform. There is a rich literature showing that this model presents singular behavior of solutions via numerics and mathematical…
We report on the nucleation of bubbles on solids that are gently rubbed against each other in a liquid. The phenomenon is found to depend strongly on the material and roughness of the solid surfaces. For a given surface, temperature, and…
Bubbles rising in viscoelastic liquids may exhibit a jump discontinuity of the rise velocity as a critical bubble volume is exceeded. The phenomenon has been extensively investigated in the literature, both by means of experiments as well…
