We present here a number of processes, inspired by concepts in Nonlinear Dynamics such as chaotic advection and excitability, that can be useful to understand generic behaviors in chemical or biological systems in fluid flows. Emphasis is…
We consider compressible fluid flow on an evolving surface with a piecewise Lipschitz-continuous boundary from an energetic point of view. We employ both an energetic variational approach and the first law of thermodynamics to make a…
When studying fluid mechanics in terms of instability, bifurcation and invariant solutions one quickly finds out how little can be done by pen and paper. For flows on sufficiently simple domains and under sufficiently simple boundary…

We consider the line, surface and volume elements of fluid in stationary isotropic incompressible stochastic flow in $d$-dimensional space and investigate the long-time evolution of their statistic properties. We report the discovery of a…

Chaotic variations in flow speed up mixing of scalar fields via intensified stirring. This paper addresses the statistical properties of a passive scalar field mixing in a regular shear flow with random fluctuations against its background.…
In linearly stable shear flows at moderate Re, turbulence spontaneously decays despite the existence of a codimension-one manifold, termed the edge of chaos, which separates decaying perturbations from those triggering turbulence. We…
Viscoelastic flows through porous media become unstable and chaotic beyond critical flow conditions, impacting industrial and biological processes. Recently, Walkama \textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{124}, 164501 (2020)] have shown…
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…
A material-based, i.e., Lagrangian, methodology for exact integration of flux by volume-preserving flows through a surface has been developed recently in [Karrasch, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 76 (2016), pp. 1178-1190]. In the present paper, we…
We prove that minimal area-preserving flows locally given by a smooth Hamiltonian on a closed surface of any genus are typically (in the measure-theoretical sense) not mixing. The result is obtained by considering special flows over…
Recent progresses in understanding the behavior of dense granular flows are presented. After presenting a bulk rheology of granular materials, I focus on the new developments to account for non-local effects, and on ongoing research…

An extended turbulent state can coexist with the stable laminar state in pipe flows. We focus here on short pipes with additional discrete symmetries imposed. In this case, the boundary between the coexisting basins of attraction, often…
Flows on surfaces are one of the most fundamental and classical objects in dynamical systems, and are studied from various areas (e.g. integrable systems, differential equations, fluid mechanics). Though hyperbolic flows and recurrent flows…
Using complementary numerical approaches at high resolution, we study the late-time behaviour of an inviscid, incompressible two-dimensional flow on the surface of a sphere. Starting from a random initial vorticity field comprised of a…
