We prove that given a finite collection of cylinders in $\R^3$ with the property that any two them intersect, then there is a line intersecting an $\alpha$ fraction of the cylinders where $\alpha=\frac 1{28}$. This is a special case of an…
Porous materials made up of impermeable polyhedral grains constrain fluid flow to voids around the impenetrable constituent barrier particles. A percolation transition marks the boundary between assemblies of grains which contain system…
We introduce a simple lattice model in which percolation is constructed on top of critical percolation clusters, and show that it can be repeated recursively any number $n$ of generations. In two dimensions, we determine the percolation…
We consider viscous steady streaming induced by oscillatory flow past a cylinder between two plates, where the cylinder's axis is normal to the plates. While this phenomenon was first studied in the 1930s, it has received renewed interest…
We provide a complete classification of possible configurations of mutually pairwise touching infinite cylinders in Euclidian 3D space. It turns out that there is a maximum number of such cylinders possible in 3D independently on the shape…
Porous media are often modelled as systems of overlapping obstacles, which leads to the problem of two percolation thresholds in such systems, one for the porous matrix and the other one for the void space. Here we investigate these…
We examine the collective dynamics of disks moving through a square array of obstacles under cyclic square wave driving. Below a critical density we find that system organizes into a reversible state in which the disks return to the same…
The slow viscous flow through a doubly-periodic array of cylinders does not have an analytical solution. However, as a reduced model for the flow within fibrous porous media, this solution is important for many real-world systems. We…
The transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional flows in a finite circular cylinder driven by an axially oscillating sidewall is explored in detail. The complete symmetry group of this flow, including a spatio-temporal symmetry…
The Gaussian model of discontinuous percolation, recently introduced by Ara\'ujo and Herrmann [Phys. Rev. Lett., 105, 035701 (2010)], is numerically investigated in three dimensions, disclosing a discontinuous transition. For the…
We study conditioned random-cluster measures with edge-parameter p and cluster-weighting factor q satisfying q \ge 1. The conditioning corresponds to mixed boundary conditions for a spin model. Interfaces may be defined in the sense of…
We identify the asymptotic distribution of the chemical distance in high-dimensional critical Bernoulli percolation. Namely, we show that the distance between the origin and a distant vertex conditioned to lie in the cluster of the origin…
In the first paper of this series [S. Torquato, J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 136}, 054106 (2012)], analytical results concerning the continuum percolation of overlapping hyperparticles in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ were obtained,…
We consider the model of a directed polymer in a random environment defined on the infinite cluster of supercritical Bernoulli bond percolation in dimensions $d \geq 3$. For this model, it was proved in arXiv:2205.06206 that for almost…
The model of random interlacements on Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3, was recently introduced in arXiv:0704.2560. A non-negative parameter u parametrizes the density of random interlacements on Z^d. In the present note we investigate the…
We prove the existence of contact discontinuities for axisymmetric subsonic Euler flows with non-zero vorticity and non-zero angular momentum density in three-dimensional infinitely long cylinders. The problem is formulated as a two-phase…
We investigate the component sizes of the critical configuration model, as well as the related problem of critical percolation on a supercritical configuration model. We show that, at criticality, the finite third moment assumption on the…
Helical symmetry is invariance under a one-dimensional group of rigid motions generated by a simultaneous rotation around a fixed axis and translation along the same axis. The key parameter in helical symmetry is the step or pitch, the…
We introduce a percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \geq 3$, in which the discrete lines of vertices that are parallel to the coordinate axis are entirely removed at random and independently of each other. In this way a vertex belongs to…
In this paper, we investigate the long-time behavior of a passive scalar advected by a parallel shear flow in an infinite cylinder with unbounded cross section, in the regime where the viscosity coefficient satisfies $\nu \ll 1$, and in…
