We study the stability of two-fluid flow through a plane channel at Reynolds numbers of a hundred to a thousand in the linear and nonlinear regimes. The two fluids have the same density but different viscosities. The fluids, when miscible,…
In this work we consider a generalization of graph flows. A graph flow is, in its simplest formulation, a labeling of the directed edges with real numbers subject to various constraints. A common constraint is conservation in a vertex,…
In nonlinear systems, small perturbations are conventionally attributed to negligible nonlinearity, justifying linear approximations. Here, we uncover a notable exception to this paradigm in an electrokinetic (EK) flow. Using a novel dual…
Over the last 10 years or so, advanced statistical properties, including exponential decay of correlations, have been established for certain classes of singular hyperbolic flows in three dimensions. The results apply in particular to the…
A novel principle is presented which allows for the proof of bounded weak solutions to a class of physically relevant, strongly coupled parabolic systems exhibiting a formal gradient-flow structure. The main feature of these systems is that…
Viscous flows are laminar and deterministic. Robust linear laws accurately predict their streamlines in structures as complex as blood vessels, porous media and pipe networks. However, biological and synthetic active fluids defy these…
We derive conditions for a nonholonomic system subject to nonlinear constraints (obeying Chetaev's rule) to preserve a smooth volume form. When applied to affine constraints, these conditions dictate that a basic invariant density exists if…
When a particle moves in a Newtonian flow at low Reynolds number, inertia is irrelevant and a linear relationship exists between velocities and forces. For incompressible flows, any force distribution $\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{r})$ acting in the…
Flows forced by a precessional motion can exhibit instabilities of crucial importance, whether they concern the fuel of a flying object or the liquid core of a telluric planet. So far, stability analyses of these flows have focused on the…
This paper presents existence and uniqueness results for a class of parabolic systems with non linear diffusion and nonlocal interaction. These systems can be viewed as regular perturbations of Wasserstein gradient flows. Here we extend…
We study the electrokinetic flow of viscoelastic fluids subjected to an oscillatory pressure gradient, and particularly focus on the resonance behaviors in the flow. The governing equations are restricted to linear regime so that the…
Lienard systems of the form $\ddot{x}+\epsilon f(x)\dot{x}+x=0$, with f(x) an even function, are studied in the strongly nonlinear regime ($\epsilon\to\infty$). A method for obtaining the number, amplitude and loci of the limit cycles of…
We show how Benford's Law (BL) for first, second, ..., digits, emerges from the distribution of digits of numbers of the type $a^{R}$, with $a$ any real positive number and $R$ a set of real numbers uniformly distributed in an interval $[…
A compactness framework is established for approximate solutions to subsonic-sonic flows governed by the steady full Euler equations for compressible fluids in arbitrary dimension. The existing compactness frameworks for the two-dimensional…
In this paper, we analyze the dynamics of two layers of immiscible, inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational fluids through a full nonlinear system. Our goal is to establish a virial theorem and prove the polynomial growth of slope and…
Depending on the involved physiobiological parameters, stable or unstable behavior in active fluids is observed. In this paper a rigorous analytical justification of (in-)stability within the corresponding regimes is given. In particular,…

Steady fluid flows have very special topology. In this paper we describe necessary and sufficient conditions on the vorticity function of a 2D ideal flow on a surface with or without boundary, for which there exists a steady flow among…
