We study the problem of inviscid slightly compressible fluids in a bounded domain. We find a unique solution to the initial-boundary value problem and show that it is near the analogous solution for an incompressible fluid provided the…

Mixing in viscous fluids is challenging, but chaotic advection in principle allows efficient mixing. In the best possible scenario,the decay rate of the concentration profile of a passive scalar should be exponential in time. In practice,…
We present a study of the hydrodynamics of compressible superfluids in confined geometries. We use a perturbative procedure in terms of the dimensionless expansion parameter $(v/v_s)^2$ where $v$ is the typical speed of the flow and $v_s$…

We consider the vorticity form of 2D Navier--Stokes equations perturbed by an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck flow of transport type. Contrary to previous works where the random perturbation was interpreted as Stratonovich transport noise, here we…

We consider the advection equation on $\mathbb{T}^2$ with a real analytic and time-periodic velocity field that alternates between two Hamiltonian shears. Randomness is injected by alternating the vector field randomly in time between just…
We study the Monge and Kantorovich transportation problems on $\mathbb{R}^{\infty}$ within the class of exchangeable measures. With the help of the de Finetti decomposition theorem the problem is reduced to an unconstrained optimal…
We consider a model for flow of liquid and gas in a pipe. We assume that the gas is ideal and that the liquid is incompressible. Under this assumption the resulting equations, expressing conservation of mass and momentum, splits into two…
The aim of this paper is to establish exponential mixing of frame flows for convex cocompact hyperbolic manifolds of arbitrary dimension with respect to the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure. Some immediate applications include an asymptotic…
We consider compressible fluid flow on an evolving surface with a piecewise Lipschitz-continuous boundary from an energetic point of view. We employ both an energetic variational approach and the first law of thermodynamics to make a…
We analyze a macroscopic model with a maximal density constraint which describes short range repulsion in biological systems. This system aims at modeling finite-size particles which cannot overlap and repel each other when they are too…
We introduce a lattice Boltzmann for simulating an immiscible binary fluid mixture. Our collision rules are derived from a macroscopic thermodynamic description of the fluid in a way motivated by the Cahn-Hilliard approach to…
We consider the Monge-Kantorovich optimal transportation problem between two measures, one of which is a weighted sum of Diracs. This problem is traditionally solved using expensive geometric methods. It can also be reformulated as an…

Mixing of materials is fundamental to many natural phenomena and engineering applications. The presence of discontinuous deformations - such as shear banding or wall slip - creates new mechanisms for mixing and transport beyond those…
