Many parts of biological organisms are comprised of deformable porous media. The biological media is both pliable enough to deform in response to an outside force and can deform by itself using the work of an embedded muscle. For example,…

We study the long-time behavior of a point mass moving in a one-dimensional viscous compressible fluid. Previously, we showed that the velocity of the point mass $V(t)$ satisfies a decay estimate $V(t)=O(t^{-3/2})$~[K. Koike, J.…

Many definitions of moist potential vorticity (PV) have been proposed to extend the dry theory of Ertel PV. None of the moist PV definitions seem to have all of the desirable properties of the dry Ertel PV. For instance, dry PV is not only…
