Through a discussion of some typical unsteady hydrodynamic flows, we argue that the time averaged hydrodynamic functions at each point give a rather sparse filling of the local jet space. This situation then suggests a set of time dependent…

The dynamics by iteration of a function on a compact metric space, sometimes called a cascade, can be extended to the dynamics of a closed relation on such a space. Here we apply this relation dynamics to study semiflows (and their relation…

Stokes flow equations, used to model creeping flow, are a commonly used simplification of the Navier--Stokes equations. The simplification is valid for flows where the inertial forces are negligible compared to the viscous forces. In…
We consider the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions and time-independent forcing. For this type of flow, we derive adjoint equations whose trajectories converge asymptotically to the equilibrium and…

We consider systems of particles coupled with fluids. The particles are described by the evolution of their density, and the fluid is described by the Navier-Stokes equations. The particles add stress to the fluid and the fluid carries and…
Spatio-temporally chaotic dynamics of a classical field can be described by means of an infinite hierarchy of its unstable spatio-temporally periodic solutions. The periodic orbit theory yields the global averages characterizing the chaotic…
Periodic orbits are important objects of discrete dynamical systems, but finding them is not always easy. We present a self-contained introductory account, aimed at non-experts, to prove their existence and study their stability using the…

Periodic orbit theory provides two important functions---the dynamical zeta function and the spectral determinant for the calculation of dynamical averages in a nonlinear system. Their cycle expansions converge rapidly when the system is…
Conventional mathematical models for simulating incompressible fluid flow problems are based on the Navier-Stokes equations expressed in terms of pressure and velocity. In this context, pressure-velocity coupling is a key issue, and…
We deal with a steady Stokes-type problem, associated with a flow of a Newtonian incompressible fluid through a spatially periodic profile cascade. The used mathematical model is based on the reduction to one spatial period, represented by…
