We describe simulations of a microscopic elastic filament immersed in a fluid and subject to a uniform external force. Our method accounts for the hydrodynamic coupling between the flow generated by the filament and the friction force it…
A random set of points in Euclidean space is called `rigid' or `hyperuniform' if the number of points falling inside any given region has significantly smaller fluctuations than the corresponding number for a set of i.i.d. random points.…

Convective instability in a ferrofluid layer heated from below or from above in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field is investigated theoretically. Convection is caused by a magnetic mechanism based on the temperature and…
