Local phonon motion underneath a surface interacting with a flow may cause the flow to passively stabilize, or destabilize, as desired within the region adjacent to the subsurface motion. This mechanism has been extensively analyzed over…

The presence of noise in non linear dynamical systems can play a constructive role, increasing the degree of order and coherence or evoking improvements in the performance of the system. An example of this positive influence in a biological…
