Under the conditions of weak Langmuir turbulence, a self-consistent wave-particle Hamiltonian models the effective nonlinear interaction of a spectrum of M waves with N resonant out-of-equilibrium tail electrons. In order to address its…
Understanding the dynamics of material objects advected by turbulent flows is a long standing question in fluid dynamics. In this perspective article we focus on the characterization of the statistical properties of non-interacting…
The bare diffusion coefficient is given as the time integral of the peculiar velocity autocorrelation function or PVACF and this result is different from the well known Green-Kubo formula. The bare diffusion coefficient characterizes the…

We consider singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations on one-dimensional networks (metric graphs) as well as the transport problems arising in the vanishing diffusion limit. Suitable coupling condition at inner vertices are…
We consider a diffusion model with limit cycle reaction functions, in the presence of convection. We select a set of functions derived from a realistic reaction model: the Schnakenberg equations. This resultant form is unsymmetrical. We…
Typically, in the description of active Brownian particles, a constant effective propulsion force is assumed, which is then subjected to fluctuations in orientation and translation leading to a persistent random walk with an enlarged…
We consider a second order linear equation with a time-dependent coefficient c(t) in front of the "elastic" operator. For these equations it is well-known that a higher space-regularity of initial data compensates a lower time-regularity of…
We study lower and upper bounds for the density of a diffusion process in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ in a small (but not asymptotic) time, say $\delta$. We assume that the diffusion coefficients $\sigma_1,\ldots,\sigma_d$ may degenerate at the…
This paper is concerned with the effective transport properties of heterogeneous media in which there is a high contrast between the phase diffusivities. In this case the transient response of the slow phase induces a memory effect at the…
This paper investigates the Cauchy problem for the semilinear damped wave equation $u_{tt}+\mathcal{L}_{a,b}u+u_t=|u|^p$ with the mixed local-nonlocal operator $\mathcal{L}_{a,b}:=-a\Delta+b(-\Delta)^{\sigma}$, where $a,b\in\mathbb{R}_+$…
We study potentially observable consequences of spatiotemporal discreteness for the motion of massive and massless particles. First we describe some simple intrinsic models for the motion of a massive point particle in a fixed causal set…
We study the asymptotic behavior and the asymptotic stability of the two-dimensional Euler equations and of the two-dimensional linearized Euler equations close to parallel flows. We focus on spectrally stable jet profiles $U(y)$ with…
We systematically check explicit and implicit assumptions of Persson's contact mechanics theory. It casts the evolution of the pressure distribution ${\rm Pr}(p)$ with increasing resolution of surface roughness as a diffusive process, in…
The present work investigates the asymptotic behaviors, at the zero-noise limit, of the first collision-time and first collision-location related to a pair of self-stabilizing diffusions and of their related particle approximations. These…
Three-dimensional turbulence simulations are used to show that the turbulent root mean square velocity is an upper bound of the speed of turbulent diffusion. There is a close analogy to magnetic diffusion where the maximum diffusion speed…
We consider the initial boundary value problem for the time-fractional diffusion equation with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and an inhomogeneous initial data $a(x)\in L^{2}(D)$ in a bounded domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with…
We derive scaling laws for the steady spectrum of wind excited waves, assuming two inviscid fluids (air and water) and no surface tension, an approximation valid at large speeds. In this limit there exists an unique (small) dimensionless…
Oscillons are localised long-lived pulsating states in the three-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory. We gain insight into the spatio-temporal structure and bifurcation of the oscillons by studying time-periodic solutions in a ball of a finite…
We consider the van der Waals' free energy functional, with a scaling small parameter epsilon, in the plane domain given by the first quadrant, and inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The boundary data are chosen in such a way that…
