We investigate the behavior of rotating incompressible flows near a non-flat horizontal bottom. In the flat case, the velocity profile is given explicitly by a simple linear ODE. When bottom variations are taken into account, it is governed…
We perform direct numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh--B\'enard convection of fluids with low ($Pr=0.1$) and high ($Pr=5$) Prandtl numbers in a horizontally periodic layer with no-slip top and bottom boundaries. At both Prandtl…

This paper addresses the problem of axisymetric rotating flows bounded by a fixed horizontal plate and subject to a permanent, uniform, vertical magnetic field (the so-called B\"odewadt-Hartmann problem). The aim is to find out which one of…
The Ekman boundary layer is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics that describes fluid motion near boundaries affected by Earth's rotation. Most theoretical studies have simplified their analysis by assuming a planar boundary surface,…

We consider a model that approximates vortex rings in the axisymmetric 3D Euler equation by the movement of almost rigid bodies described by Newtonian mechanics. We assume that the bodies have a circular cross-section and that the fluid is…
We consider a steady, geophysical 2D fluid in a domain, and focus on its western boundary layer, which is formally governed by a variant of the Prandtl equation. By using the von Mises change of variables, we show that this equation is…

We investigate theoretically the near-wall region in elastic turbulence of a dilute polymer solution in the limit of large Weissenberg number. As it was established experimentally, elastic turbulence possesses a boundary layer where the…
In this work, we consider a certain multilayered (thick layer) wave--(thin layer) wave--heat (fluid) interactive PDE system. Such coupled PDE systems have been used in the literature to describe the blood transport process in mammalian…

When a fluid flows over a solid surface, it creates a thin boundary layer where the flow velocity is influenced by the surface through viscosity, and can transition from laminar to turbulent at sufficiently high speeds. Understanding and…
