We introduce an analogue to Kato's Criterion regarding the inviscid convergence of stochastic Navier-Stokes flows to the strong solution of the deterministic Euler equation. Our assumptions cover additive, multiplicative and transport type…
We consider the linearized Euler equations around a smooth, bilipschitz shear profile $U(y)$ on $\mathbb{T}_L \times \mathbb{R}$. We construct an explicit flow which exhibits linear inviscid damping for $L$ sufficiently small, but for which…
We study the convergence rate to equilibrium for a family of Markov semigroups $\{\mathcal{P}_t^{\epsilon}\}_{\epsilon > 0}$ generated by a class of hypoelliptic stochastic differential equations on $\mathbb{R}^d$, including Galerkin…
We investigate quantitative properties of nonnegative solutions $u(x)\ge 0$ to the semilinear diffusion equation $\mathcal{L} u= f(u)$, posed in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset {\mathbb R}^N$ with appropriate homogeneous Dirichlet or outer…
In this article, we study the 2D incompressible steady Navier-Stokes equation in a channel $(-L,0)\times(-1,1)$ with the no-slip boundary condition on $\{Y = \pm 1\}$, and consider the inviscid limit $\varepsilon \to 0$. In the special case…
The study of forced oscillations in open cylindrical channel under precession is extended to include the shear effect, that is induced by inertial waves in such systems. The linear part of the problem led to two equations for stability one…
We examine a simple mechanism for the spatio-temporal evolution of transient, slow slip. We consider the problem of slip on a fault that lies within an elastic continuum and whose strength is proportional to sliding rate. This rate…
Complex mixing and magnetic field generation occurs within stellar interiors particularly where there is a strong shear flow. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of these processes, it is necessary to study the complex dynamics of shear…
A new type of systematic approach to study the incompressible Euler equations numerically via the vanishing viscosity limit is proposed in this work. We show the new strategy is unconditionally stable that the $L^2$-energy dissipates and…

We study the dynamics of the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations linearized around a shear flow on a (non-square) torus which possesses exactly two non-degenerate critical points. We obtain linear inviscid damping and vorticity…
The time decay of fully discrete finite-volume approximations of porous-medium and fast-diffusion equations with Neumann or periodic boundary conditions is proved in the entropy sense. The algebraic or exponential decay rates are computed…
Passive scalar dynamics in wall-bounded turbulence is studied via Direct Numerical Simulations of plane channel flow, for a friction Reynolds number $Re_* = 160$ and a Schmidt number $Sc=1$. Peculiar to the present research is that the…
We deal with the problem of separation of time-scales and filamentation in a linear drift-diffusion problem posed on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^2$. The passive scalar considered is stirred by an incompressible flow with radial symmetry. We…
The mixing efficiency of a flow advecting a passive scalar sustained by steady sources and sinks is naturally defined in terms of the suppression of bulk scalar variance in the presence of stirring, relative to the variance in the absence…
In this paper we obtain interior regularity estimates for viscosity solutions of nonlocal Dirichlet problems that degenerate when the gradient of the solution vanishes. Interior H\"older estimates are obtained when the order of the…
We study the almost sure behavior of solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) as time goes to zero. Our main general result establishes a functional law of the iterated logarithm (LIL) that applies in the setting of SDEs with…
We use continuum elasticity theory to revise scaling laws for radial breathing-like and shear-like vibration modes in quasi-2D nanostructures including finite-width nanoribbons and finite-size thin circular discs. Such modes can be observed…
We prove a stochastic version of the classical RAGE theorem that applies to the two-point motion generated by noisy transport equations. As a consequence, we identify a necessary and sufficient condition for the corresponding diffusive…
The Refined Kolmogorov Similarity Hypothesis is a valuable tool for the description of intermittency in isotropic conditions. For flows in presence of a substantial mean shear, the nature of intermittency changes since the process of energy…
