One of the most noticeable collective motion of non-cohesive granular matter is clustering under certain conditions. In particular, when a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer of mono-disperse non-cohesive particles is vertically vibrated, a…
We study complete wetting of solid walls that are patterned by parallel nanogrooves of depth $D$ and width $L$ with a periodicity of $2L$. The wall is formed of a material which interacts with the fluid via a long-range potential and…

Kapitza thermal resistance is a common feature of material interfaces. It is defined as the ratio of the thermal drop at the interface to the heat flux flowing across the interface. One expects that this resistance will depend on the…

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems are important because they may induce serious damage to structures. In some FSI problems, the interaction mechanism is strongly dependent on the wave propagation across the solid-fluid interface.…
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and wave propagation in engineering structures can cause severe damage to piping systems or fluid machines, inducing serious accidents. In these phenomena, the mechanism of structural damage depends on the…

For well-stirred multiphase fluid systems the mean interface area per unit volume, or "specific interface area" $S_V$, is a significant characteristic of the system state. In particular, it is important for the dynamics of systems of…
