We propose a geometrical approach to the mechanics of continuous media equipped with inner structures and give the basic (mass conservation, Navier-Stokes and energy conservation) equations of their motion.
In this paper, we consider a class of convection-diffusion equations with memory effects. These equations arise as a result of homogenization or upscaling of linear transport equations in heterogeneous media and play an important role in…
The memory effects on microscopic kinetic systems have been sometimes modelled by means of the introduction of second order time derivatives in the macroscopic hydrodynamic equations. One prototypical example is the hyperbolic modification…
Recent observations have revealed the presence of a variety of small-scale ``micro-structures'' in Planetary Nebulae images. I discuss numerical hydrodynamics models of planetaries and outline the formation and growth of instabilities that…
This article deals with dynamical systems depending on a slowly varying parameter. We present several physical examples illustrating memory effects, such as metastability and hysteresis, which frequently appear in these systems. A…
We propose a two-dimensional generalization of Constantin-Lax-Majda model [2]. Some results about singular solutions are given. This model might be the first step toward the singular solutions of the Euler equations. Along the same line…
We present a system of Navier-Stokes type that describes the dynamics of several spherical bubbles of gas in a liquid. It is derived from a more complete model, where the bubbles are seen as inclusions of gas of homogeneous barotropic…
Stimulated by recent experimental results, we simulate ``temperature''-cycling experiments in a model for the compaction of granular media. We report on the existence of two types of memory effects: short-term dependence on the history of…
Fluid configurations in three-dimensions, displaying a plausible decay of regularity in a finite time, are suitably built and examined. Vortex rings are the primary ingredients in this study. The full Navier-Stokes system is converted into…
Numerical simulations describing plunging breakers including the splash-up phenomenon are presented. The motion is governed by the classical, incompressible, two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equation. The numerical modelling of this two-phase…
We introduce a two time-scale scheme which allows to extend the method of minimizing movements to hyperbolic problems. This method is used to show the existence of weak solutions to a fluid-structure interaction problem between a nonlinear,…
Solids are rigid, which means that when left undisturbed, their structures are nearly static. It follows that these structures depend on history -- but it is surprising that they hold readable memories of past events. Here we review the…
We explore the utility of the recently proposed alpha equations in providing a subgrid model for fluid turbulence. Our principal results are comparisons of direct numerical simulations of fluid turbulence using several values of the…
A new system of general Navier-Stokes-like equations is proposed to model electromagnetic analogous to hydrodynamic. While most attempts to derive analogues of hydrodynamic to electromagnetic, and vice-versa, start with Navier-Stokes or a…
We provide a consistent statistical-mechanical treatment for describing the thermodynamics and the structure of fluids embedded in the hyperbolic plane. In particular, we derive a generalization of the virial equation relating the bulk…
We present a study by computer simulations of a class of complex-valued solutions of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space, which, according to Li and Sinai, present a blow-up (singularity) at a finite time. The…
Shell models allow much greater scale separations than those presently achievable with direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. Consequently, they are an invaluable tool for testing new concepts and ideas in the theory…
In the note, various scenarios of potential Type II blowups of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations are studied. It is shown, that under some assumptions, such type of blowups cannot happen. In this case, corresponding…
The majority of practical flows, particularly those flows in applications of importance to transport, distribution and climate, are turbulent and as a result experience complex three-dimensional motion with increased drag compared with the…
