In the open circular billiard particles are placed initially with a uniform distribution in their positions inside a planar circular vesicle. They all have velocities of the same magnitude, whose initial directions are also uniformly…
We study the interaction between a pair of particles suspended in a uniform oscillatory flow. The time-averaged behavior of particles under these conditions, driven by inertial and viscous effects, is explored through a theoretical…
Collisions resulting in fragmentation are important in shaping the mass spectrum of minor bodies in the asteroid belt, the Kuiper belt, and debris disks. Models of fragmentation cascades typically find that in steady-state, the solution for…
The universal theory of order parameter fluctuations (delta scaling laws) is applied to a wide range of intermediate energy heavy-ion collision data obtained with INDRA. This systematic study confirms that the observed fragment production…
A standard model for the study of scalar dispersion through advection and molecular diffusion is a two-dimensional periodic flow with closed streamlines inside periodic cells. Over long time scales, the dispersion of a scalar in this flow…
We study the dynamics of seeded plasma blobs and depletions in an (effective) gravitational field. For incompressible flows the radial center of mass velocity of blobs and depletions is proportional to the square root of their initial…
Suspensions of finite-size solid particles in a turbulent pipe flow are found in many industrial and technical flows. Due to the ample parameter space consisting of particle size, concentration, density and Reynolds number, a complete…
Impact of single particle onto a rigid substrate leads to its deformation and fragmentation. The flow associated with the particle spreading on a solid substrate after impact is extremely complicated. In this theoretical study a simplified…
Energetic particles spectra at interplanetary shocks often exhibit a power law within a narrow momentum range softening at higher energy. We introduce a transport equation accounting for particle acceleration and escape with diffusion…
Many observables which are used as a signature of the collective effects in heavy-ion collisions when measured in high multiplicity pp and pA interactions reveal a very similar behaviour. We will present first measurements of different…
Collisionless suspensions of inertial particles (finite-size impurities) are studied in 2D and 3D spatially smooth flows. Tools borrowed from the study of random dynamical systems are used to identify and to characterise in full generality…
Topological defects dominate the deformation response of materials in processes ranging from quantum turbulence to crystal plasticity. We calculate the probability distribution function for the fluctuations in velocity $v$, using scaling…
The flow ansatz states that the single-particle distribution of a given event can be described in terms of the complex flow coefficients $V_n$. Multi-particle distributions can therefore be expressed as products of these single-particle…
This study investigates the interaction of a shock wave with a fixed layer of particles in cylindrical geometries using particle-resolved large eddy simulations. The curvature radius of the particle layer is varied and the resulting flow…
We investigate the contributions from the so-called elliptic gluon Wigner distributions to the rapidity and azimuthal correlations of particles produced in high energy $pA$ collisions by applying the double parton scattering mechanism. We…
We study a reaction-diffusion-convection problem with nonlinear drift posed in a domain with periodically arranged obstacles. The non-linearity in the drift is linked to the hydrodynamic limit of a totally asymmetric simple exclusion…
The Earth's atmosphere is an aerosol, it contains suspended particles. When air flows over an obstacle such as an aircraft wing or tree branch, these particles may not follow the same paths as the air flowing around the obstacle. Instead…
Cohesive particles form agglomerates that are usually very porous. Their geometry, particularly their fractal dimension, depends on the agglomeration process (diffusion-limited or ballistic growth by adding single particles or…
Experiments on the motion of a particle on an inclined rough plane have yielded some surprising results. For example, it was found that the frictional force acting on the ball is viscous, {\it i.e.} proportional to the velocity rather than…
We consider the trapping reaction, $A+B\to B$, where $A$ and $B$ particles have a diffusive dynamics characterized by diffusion constants $D_A$ and $D_B$. The interaction with $B$ particles can be formally incorporated in an effective…
