Large-scale instabilities occurring in the presence of small-scale turbulent fluctuations are frequently observed in geophysical or astrophysical contexts but are difficult to reproduce in the laboratory. Using extensive numerical…
We prove a bifurcation result of uniformly-rotating/stationary non-trivial vortex sheets near the circular distribution for a model of two irrotational fluids with same density taking into account surface tension effects. As bifurcation…
We study a Boussinesq system in a bounded domain with an outlet boundary portion where fluid can leave or re-enter. On this boundary part, we consider a do-nothing condition for the fluid flow, and a new artificial condition for the heat…
We experimentally study the properties of mean and most probable velocity fields in a turbulent von K\'arm\'an flow. These fields are found to be described by two families of functions, as predicted by a recent statistical mechanics study…

Thermal convection in an electrically conducting fluid (for example, a liquid metal) in the presence of a static magnetic field is considered in this chapter. The focus is on the extreme states of the flow, in which both buoyancy and…
In this paper we prove the existence of vortices, namely standing waves with non null angular momentum, for the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation in dimension $N\geq 3$. We show with variational methods that the existence of these kind of…
In the study of surface waves in the presence of a shear current, a useful and much studied model is that in which the shear flow has constant vorticity. Recently it was shown by Constantin [Eur. J. Mech. B/Fluids 30 (2011) 12-16] that a…

We discuss the relation between three recent approaches of describing the dynamics and the spatial distribution of particles suspended in turbulent flows: phase-space singularities in the inertial particle dynamics (caustics), real-space…
The steady compressible Navier--Stokes--Fourier system is considered, with either Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions for the velocity and the heat flux on the boundary proportional to the difference of the temperature inside and…
A closed-form analytical solution is found for the nonlinear dynamics of isolated, near-threshold waves in the presence of strong scattering. The proposed solution can be useful in verifying codes across several disciplines, including…
The influence of an underlying current on 3-wave interactions of capillary water waves is studied. The fact that in irrotational flow resonant 3-wave interactions are not possible can be invalidated by the presence of an underlying current…
We consider general reaction diffusion systems posed on rectangular lattices in two or more spatial dimensions. We show that travelling wave solutions to such systems that propagate in rational directions are nonlinearly stable under small…
The hydrodynamic stationary states of a granular fluid are addressed theoretically when subject to energy injection and a time-independent, but otherwise arbitrary external potential force. When the latter is not too symmetrical in a well…

In this paper we consider steady vortex flows for the incompressible Euler equations in a planar bounded domain. By solving a variational problem for the vorticity, we construct steady double vortex patches with opposite signs concentrating…
We develop a neutral vortex fluid theory on closed surfaces with zero genus. The theory describes collective dynamics of many well-separated quantum vortices in a superfluid confined on a closed surface. Comparing to the case on a plane,…
