This article is concerned with the dynamics of a mixture of gases. Under the assumption that all the gases are isothermal and inviscid, we show that the governing equations have an elegant conservation-dissipation structure. With the help…
A description of many-particle systems, which is more fundamental than the fluid approach, is to consider them as a kinetic gas. In this approach the dynamical variable in which the properties of the system are encoded, is the distribution…

We study the diffusion of $N$ particles in one dimension interacting via a drift proportional to their rank. In the attractive case (self-gravitating gas) a mapping to the Lieb Liniger quantum model allows to obtain stationary time…
The properties of a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate confined in a prolate cylindrically symmetric trap are explored both analytically and numerically. As the rotation frequency increases, an ever greater number of vortices are…
We present results for the fluctuations of the displacement of a tracer particle on a planar lattice pulled by a step force in the presence of impenetrable, immobile obstacles. The fluctuations perpendicular to the applied force are…
We show that simple diffusive systems, such as the Lorentz gas and multibaker maps are perfectly compatible with the laws of irreversible thermodynamics, despite the fact that the moving particles, or their equivalents, in these models do…
The L\'evy-Lorentz gas describes the motion of a particle on the real line in the presence of a random array of scattering points, whose distances between neighboring points are heavy-tailed i.i.d. random variables with finite mean. The…
This paper uses dynamical invariants to describe the evolution of collisionless systems subject to time-dependent gravitational forces without resorting to maximum-entropy probabilities. We show that collisionless relaxation can be viewed…
Heavy and light particles are commonly found in many natural phenomena and industrial processes, such as suspensions of bubbles, dust, and droplets in incompressible turbulent flows. Based on a recent machine learning approach using a…
Relativistic kinematics is usually considered only as a manifestation of pseudo-Euclidean (Lorentzian) geometry of space-time. However, as it is explicitly stated in General Relativity, the geometry itself depends on dynamics, specifically,…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the free path of a variable density random flight model in an external field as the initial velocity of the particle goes to infinity. The random flight models we study arise naturally as the…
