Reaction diffusion systems with Turing instability and mass conservation are studied. In such systems, abrupt decays of stripes follow quasi-stationary states in sequence. At steady state, the distance between stripes is much longer than…
The motion of a thin layer of granular material on a plate undergoing sinusoidal vibrations is considered. We develop equations of motion for the local thickness and the horizontal velocity of the layer. The driving comes from the violent…

We study two perpendicular intersecting flows of pedestrians. The latter are represented either by moving hard core particles of two types, eastbound ($\symbp$) and northbound ($\symbm$), or by two density fields, $\rhop_t(\brr)$ and…
