Conserved surface roughening represents a special case of interface dynamics where the total height of the interface is conserved. Recently, it was suggested [F. Caballero et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 020601 (2018)] that the original…

We analyze intermittence and roughening of an elastic interface or domain wall pinned in a periodic potential, in the presence of random-bond disorder in (1+1) and (2+1) dimensions. Though the ensemble average behavior is smooth, the…

A nonlocal interface equation is derived for two-phase fluid flow, with arbitrary wettability and viscosity contrast c=(mu_1-mu_2)/(mu_1+mu_2), in a model porous medium defined as a Hele-Shaw cell with random gap b_0+delta b. Fluctuations…

Self-affine rough interfaces are ubiquitous in experimental systems, and display characteristic scaling properties as a signature of the nature of disorder in their supporting medium, i.e. of the statistical features of its heterogeneities.…
