We prove convergence of symmetric diffusions on Wiener spaces by using stopping times arguments and capacity techniques. The drifts of the diffusions can be singular, we require the densities of the processes to be neither bounded from…
We show that by "accelerating" relaxation enhancing flows, one can construct a flow that is smooth on $[0,1) \times \mathbb{T}^d$ but highly singular at $t=1$ so that for any positive diffusivity, the advection-diffusion equation associated…
A recurring obstacle in the study of Wasserstein gradient flow is the lack of convexity of the square Wasserstein metric. In this paper, we develop a class of transport metrics that have better convexity properties and use these metrics to…
We study shear-driven liquid flow over a planar surface with an embedded gas-filled groove, with the gas-liquid interface protruding slightly above or below the planar surface. The flow direction is along the groove, taken to be much longer…
From the perspective of asymptotic stability at high Reynolds numbers, Taylor-Couette flow, as a typical rotating shear flow, exhibits rich decay behaviors. Previously, for the extensively studied Couette flow or the Taylor-Couette flow in…
Diffusion of particles in complex fluids and gels is difficult to describe and often lies beyond the scope of the classical Stokes-Einstein relation. One of the main lines of research over the past few decades has sought to relate…
Shear flows are naturally expected to occur in astrophysical environments and potential sites of continuous non-thermal Fermi-type particle acceleration. Here we investigate the efficiency of expanding relativistic outflows to facilitate…

We study the large time behavior of solutions to two-dimensional Euler and Navier-Stokes equations linearized about shear flows of the mixing layer type in the unbounded channel $\mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}$. Under a simple spectral…
We examine the two-dimensional Euler equations including the local energy (in)equality as a differential inclusion and show that the associated relaxation essentially reduces to the known relaxation for the Euler equations considered…
We are concerned with flow enhanced mixing of passive scalars in the presence of diffusion. Under the assumption that the velocity gradient is suitably integrable, we provide upper bounds on the exponential rates of enhanced dissipation.…
The main contribution of this paper is twofold: (1) Recently, Iyer, Xu, and Zlato\v{s} studied the dissipation enhancement by cellular flows based on standard advection-diffusion equations via a stochastic method. We generalize their…
We study diffusion processes driven by a Brownian motion with regular drift in a finite dimension setting. The drift has two components on different time scales, a fast conservative component and a slow dissipative component. Using the…
In this note, we propose the first mathematical derivation of a macroscopic Baer-Nunziato type system for compressible two-phase flows allowing two pressure state laws depending on the different phases. By doing so, we extend the results…
In this note we investigate the asymptotic behavior of plane shear thickening fluids around a bounded obstacle. Different from the Navier-Stokes case considered by Gilbarg-Weinberger in \cite{GW1978}, where the good structure of the…
