Most of the turbulent flows appearing in nature (e.g. geophysical and astrophysical flows) are subjected to strong rotation and stratification. These effects break the symmetries of classical, homogenous isotropic turbulence. In doing so,…
The aim of this paper is to understand the tendency to organization of the turbulence in two-dimensional ideal fluids. We show that nonlinear processes as inverse cascade of the energy and vorticity concentration are essentially determined…
Flow over a surface can be stratified by imposing a fixed mean vertical temperature (density) gradient profile throughout or via cooling at the surface. These distinct mechanisms can act simultaneously to establish a stable stratification…
The tidal deformation of a neutron star in a binary inspiral driven by the emission of gravitational waves affects the orbital dynamics and produces a measurable modulation of the waves. Late in the inspiral, a regime of dynamical tides…
Traditional models of wormlike chains in shear flows at finite temperature approximate the equation of motion via finite difference discretization (bead and rod models). We introduce here a new method based on a spectral representation in…
The rate of tidal evolution of asteroidal binaries is defined by the dynamical Love numbers divided by quality factors. Common is the (often illegitimate) approximation of the dynamical Love numbers with their static counterparts. As the…
The transitional and well-developed regimes of turbulent shear flows exhibit a variety of remarkable scaling laws that are only now beginning to be systematically studied and understood. In the first part of this article, we summarize…
A linear stability analysis is performed on a tilted parallel wake in a strongly stratified fluid at low Reynolds numbers. A particular emphasis of the present study is given to the understanding of the low-Froude-number mode observed by…
Exponential stabilizability of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations under dynamic slip boundary conditions toward arbitrary time-dependent trajectories is proven. The feedback control law is constructed explicitly using oblique…
This paper studies the classical water wave problem with vorticity described by the Euler equations with a free surface under the influence of gravity over a flat bottom. Based on fundamental work \cite{ConstantinStrauss}, we first obtain…
In this work the evolution of a fluid droplet in vacuum is considered. This means that the surface tension and the fluid forces are in equilibrium at the free boundary. The fluid is governed by the incompressible quasi-steady Stokes…
This work investigates variational frameworks for modeling stochastic dynamics in incompressible fluids, focusing on large-scale fluid behavior alongside small-scale stochastic processes. The authors aim to develop a coupled system of…
Two-dimensional turbulent flows, and to some extent, geophysical flows, are systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, which, albeit fluctuating, exhibit some degree of organization: coherent structures emerge spontaneously at large…
This paper focuses on the analysis of stratified steady periodic water waves that contain stagnation points. The initial step involves transforming the free-boundary problem into a quasilinear pseudodifferential equation through a conformal…
We address the dynamical and statistical description of stably stratified turbulent boundary layers with the important example of the atmospheric boundary layer with a stable temperature stratification in mind. Traditional approaches to…
We analyze general two-species stochastic models, of the kind generally used for the study of population dynamics. We show that the conditions for the stochastic (microscopic) model to display approximate sustained oscillatory behavior are…
Wave turbulence and eddy turbulence are the two regimes that we may encounter in nature. The attention of fluid mechanics being mainly focused on incompressible hydrodynamics, it is usually the second regime that is treated in books,…
We review the theory of wave interaction in finite and infinite depth. Both of these strands of water-wave research begin with the deterministic governing equations for water waves, from which simplified equations can be derived to model…
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of inertial spheres settling through density-stratified interfaces, focusing on the conditions that lead to pronounced deceleration and ``bouncing''. Using synchronized particle tracking and flow…
We consider the stability of two-dimensional viscous flows in an annulus with permeable boundary. In the basic flow, the velocity has nonzero azimuthal and radial components, and the direction of the radial flow can be from the inner…
