The Jones-Witten invariants can be generalized for non-singular smooth vector fields with invariant probability measure on 3-manifolds, giving rise to new invariants of dynamical systems [22]. After a short survey of cohomological field…

Incompressible fluids on curved surfaces are considered with respect to the interplay between topology, geometry and fluid properties using a surface vorticity-stream function formulation, which is solved using parametric finite elements.…

The Lie point symmetries and corresponding invariant solutions are obtained for a Gaussian, irrotational, compressible fluid flow. A supersymmetric extension of this model is then formulated through the use of a superspace and superfield…

We discuss a unified flow theory which in a single system of hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) can describe the two main branches of continuum mechanics, fluid dynamics, and solid dynamics. The fundamental difference from the…

We introduce the concept of topological expansive flow. We prove that this concept is invariant by topological conjugacy and reduces to expansivity in the compact case. We characterize tiopological expansive flows as rescaling expansive…

We study time- and parameter-dependent ordinary differential equations in the geometric setting of vector fields and their flows. Various degrees of regularities in state are considered, including Lipschitz, finitely diferentiable, smooth,…

Two flows defined on a smooth manifold are equivalent if there exists a homeomorphism of the manifold that sends each orbit of one flow onto an orbit of the other flow while preserving the time orientation. The topological entropy of a flow…

Insoluble surfactants adsorbed at liquid-liquid or gas-liquid interfaces alter interfacial tension, leading to variations in the normal stress jump and generating tangential Marangoni stresses that can dramatically affect the flow dynamics.…

We consider classical curvature flows: 1-parameter families of convex embeddings of the 2-sphere into Euclidean 3-space which evolve by an arbitrary (non-homogeneous) function of the radii of curvature. The associated flow of the radii of…

We study flows of smooth vector fields $X$ over invariant surfaces $M$ which are levels of rational first integrals. It leads us to study constrained systems, that is, systems with impasses. We identify a subset $\mathcal{I} \subset M$…

We discuss the applicability of a unified hyperbolic model for continuum fluid and solid mechanics to modeling non-Newtonian flows and in particular to modeling the stress-driven solid-fluid transformations in flows of viscoplastic fluids,…

Helicity is a fundamental conserved quantity in physical systems governed by vector fields whose evolution is described by volume-preserving transformations on a three-manifold. Notable examples include inviscid, incompressible fluid flows,…
