The duality between deformations of elastic bodies and non-inertial flows in viscous liquids has been a guiding principle in decades of research. However, this duality is broken when a spheroidal or other doubly-curved liquid film is…
We consider the motion of a fluid-immersed negatively buoyant particle in the vicinity of a thin compressible elastic wall, a situation that arises in a variety of technological and natural settings. We use scaling arguments to establish…
We investigate a class of stationary, planar-symmetric solutions of relativistic hydrodynamics, in which a dissipative fluid is confined between two parallel plates that move relative to each other and/or are maintained at different…

Modeling the mechanics of fluid in complex scenes is vital to applications in design, graphics, and robotics. Learning-based methods provide fast and differentiable fluid simulators, however most prior work is unable to accurately model how…
A pure and incompressible material is confined between two plates such that it is heated from below and cooled from above. When its melting temperature is comprised between these two imposed temperatures, an interface separating liquid and…
Majority of theoretical results regarding turbulent mixing are based on the model of ideal flows with zero correlation time. We discuss the reasons why such results may fail for real flows and develop a scheme which makes it possible to…
Infrared (IR) videos are presented which show a warm water surface undergoing convective processes. These fluid dynamics videos show the water surface with: 1) no surfactant monolayer material present, 2) a liquid-phase monolayer of oleyl…

Nonlinear dynamics of the free surface of an ideal incompressible non-conducting fluid with high dielectric constant subjected by strong horizontal electric field is simulated on the base of the method of conformal transformations. It is…
This video shows three-dimensional contours at two different values of enstrophy for a turbulent boundary layer up to $Re_\theta \simeq 2500$. Its intention is to show how, what can be be considered the turbulent/nonturbulent interface for…
Granular surface flows are common in industrial practice and natural systems, however, theoretical description of such flows is at present incomplete. Two prototype systems involving surface flow are compared: heap formation by pouring at a…
Consider a fluid flowing through a junction between two pipes with different sections. Its evolution is described by the 2D or 3D Euler equations, whose analytical theory is far from complete and whose numerical treatment may be rather…

Surface freezing is a phenomenon in which crystallization is enhanced at a vapor-liquid interface. In some systems, such as $n$-alkanes, this enhancement is dramatic, and results in the formation of a crystalline layer at the free interface…
A mathematical model is derived for the dynamics of a cylinder, or wheel, rolling over a thin viscous film. The model combines the Reynolds lubrication equation for the fluid with an equation of motion for the wheel. Two asymptotic limits…
Chaotic dynamics of the dripping faucet was investigated both experimentally and theoretically. We measured continuous change in drop position and velocity using a high-speed camera. Continuous trajectories of a low-dimensional chaotic…
