In this article, we first introduce a Gauss curvature type flow for capillary hypersurfaces, which we call capillary Gauss curvature flow. We then show that the flow will shrink to a point in finite time. This is a capillary counterpart (or…

In this study, we analyze the flow filtration process of slightly compressible fluids in fractured porous media. We model the coupled fractured porous media system, where the linear Darcy flow is considered in porous media and the nonlinear…
For self-similar fractals, the Minkowski content and fractal curvature have been introduced as a suitable limit of the geometric characteristics of its parallel sets, i.e., of uniformly thin coatings of the fractal. For some self-conformal…
In many low-dimensional dynamical systems transport coefficients are very irregular, perhaps even fractal functions of control parameters. To analyse this phenomenon we study a dynamical system defined by a piece-wise linear map and…
Motivated by the complex rheological behaviors observed in small/micro scale blood vessels, such as the Fahraeus effect, plasma-skimming, shear-thinning, etc., we develop a non-linear suspension model for blood. The viscosity is assumed to…
