Empirical observations show that turbulence exhibits a broad range of scaling exponents, characterizing how the velocity gradients diverge in the inviscid limit. These exponents are thought to be linked to singular solutions of the Euler…
Many processes in chemistry and physics take place on timescales that cannot be explored using standard molecular dynamics simulations. This renders the use of enhanced sampling mandatory. Here we introduce an enhanced sampling method that…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of a real-valued diffusion whose non-regular drift is given as a sum of a dissipative term and a bounded measurable one. We prove that two trajectories of that diffusion converge a.s. to one another at an…
We study the long time behaviour of a nonlinear oscillator subject to a random multiplicative noise with a spectral density (or power-spectrum) that decays as a power law at high frequencies. When the dissipation is negligible, physical…
We concider, the blow-up solutions for a coupled reaction diffusion system with gradient terms. The main purpose is to understand whether the gradient terms effect the blow-up properties. We derive the upper and lower blow-up rate estimates…
In this paper we study the convergence of a power-law model for dilatant compressible fluids to a class of models exhibiting a maximum admissible shear rate, called thick compressible fluids. These kinds of problems were studied previously…
We consider a model for mixing binary viscous fluids under an incompressible flow. We proof the impossibility of perfect mixing in finite time for flows with finite viscous dissipation. As measures of mixedness we consider a…
Low Stokes number particles at dilute concentrations in turbulent flows can reasonably be approximated as passive scalars. The added presence of a drift velocity due to buoyancy or gravity when considering the transport of such passive…
We construct incompressible velocity fields that exhibit faster than exponential dissipation for particular solutions to the advection-diffusion equation on $\mathbb{T}^d$. In 2D, we construct a velocity field in $L^\infty_{t,x}$ and…

The linear intensity profile of multiply scattered light in a slab geometry extrapolates to zero at a certain distance beyond the boundary. The diffusion equation with this "extrapolated boundary condition" has been used in the literature…
This paper provides a full characterization of the value function and solution(s) of an optimal stopping problem for a one-dimensional diffusion with an integral criterion. The results hold under very weak assumptions, namely, the diffusion…

We investigate the origin of the density depletion and enhanced density fluctuations that occur in water in the vicinity of an extended hydrophobic solute. We argue that both phenomena are remnants of the critical drying surface phase…
We consider the two-dimensional (2D) flow in a flat free-slip surface that bounds a three-dimensional (3D) volume in which the flow is turbulent. The equations of motion for the two-dimensional flow in the surface are neither compressible…
