The Curie-Weiss Potts model is a mean field version of the well-known Potts model. In this model, the critical line $\beta = \beta_c (h)$ is explicitly known and corresponds to a first order transition when $q > 2$. In the present paper we…

The superfluid weight is an important observable of superconducting materials since it is related to the London penetration depth of the Meissner effect. It can be computed from the change in the grand potential (or free energy) in response…

We examine computationally the two-dimensional flow of elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluids around a cylinder symmetrically placed between two plates parallel to its axis. The Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley fluid model is solved via the finite-volume…

We present predictions for the flow of elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluids in the 4 to 1 planar contraction geometry. The Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley fluid model is solved via the finite-volume method with the OpenFOAM software. Both the…

The acoustic nonlinearity parameter(beta) is sensitive to dislocation parameters, which continuously change during plastic deformation. Dislocation-based damage in structures/components is the source of the failure; thus, beta has been…

We consider a system of $d$ non-linear stochastic heat equations in spatial dimension $k \geq 1$, whose solution is an $\R^d$-valued random field $u= \{u(t\,,x),\, (t,x) \in \R_+ \times \R^k\}$. The $d$-dimensional driving noise is white in…

A generalization of the $3D$ Euler-Voigt-$\alpha$ model is obtained by introducing derivatives of arbitrary order $\beta$ (instead of $2$) in the Helmholtz operator. The $\beta \to \infty$ limit is shown to correspond to Galerkin truncation…

We build a minimal, mean-field, model of plasticity of amorphous solids, based upon a phenomenology of dissipative events derived, in a preceding paper [A. Lemaitre, C. Caroli, arXiv:0705.0823] from extensive molecular simulations. It…

Surface growth models may give rise to unstable growth with mound formation whose tipical linear size L increases in time. In one dimensional systems coarsening is generally driven by an attractive interaction between domain walls or kinks.…

The coefficients defining the mean electromotive force in a Galloway-Proctor flow are determined. This flow shows a two-dimensional pattern and is helical. The pattern wobbles in its plane. Apart from one exception a circular motion of the…

Understanding the nature of compressible fluctuations in a broad range of turbulent plasmas, from the intracluster medium to the solar wind, has been an active field of research in the past decades. Theoretical frameworks for weakly…

For general $\beta \geq 1$, we consider Dyson Brownian motion at equilibrium and prove convergence of the extremal particles to an ensemble of continuous sample paths in the limit $N \to \infty$. For each fixed time, this ensemble is…

Dynamo action owing to helically forced turbulence and large-scale shear is studied using direct numerical simulations. The resulting magnetic field displays propagating wave-like behavior. This behavior can be modelled in terms of an…

Flow behavior of a single-component yield stress fluid is addressed on the hydrodynamic level. A basic ingredient of the model is a coupling between fluctuations of density and velocity gradient via a Herschel-Bulkley-type constitutive…

We analyze the equilibrium fluctuations of the density, current and tagged particle in symmetric exclusion with a slow bond. The system evolves in the one-dimensional lattice and the jump rate is everywhere equal to one except at the slow…

We theoretically illustrate how complex fluids flowing over superhydrophobic surfaces may exhibit giant flow enhancements in the double limit of small solid fractions ($\epsilon\ll1$) and strong shear thinning ($\beta\ll1$, $\beta$ being…

The thermodynamic formalism expresses chaotic properties of dynamical systems in terms of the Ruelle pressure $\psi(\beta)$. The inverse-temperature like variable $\beta$ allows one to scan the structure of the probability distribution in…

We consider inhomogeneous spatial random graphs on the real line. Each vertex carries an i.i.d. weight and edges are drawn such that short edges and edges to vertices with large weights occur with higher probability. This allows the study…

We report a high-precision numerical estimation of the critical exponent $\alpha$ of the specific heat of the random-field Ising model in four dimensions. Our result $\alpha = 0.12(1)$ indicates a diverging specific-heat behavior and is…

We model driven, compressible, isothermal, turbulence with Mach numbers ranging from the subsonic ($\mathcal{M} \approx 0.65$) to the highly supersonic regime ($\mathcal{M}\approx 16 $). The forcing scheme consists both solenoidal…
