Charged fluids rotating around compact objects can form unique equilibrium structures when ambient large-scale electromagnetic fields combine with strong gravity. Equatorial as well as off-equatorial toroidal structures are among such…
In this work, we discuss the long-time behavior of non-rotating quasi-2D viscous flows over topographies. We develop a novel theoretical and numerical framework for the analysis of these flows, derived as a dimensional reduction of the 3D…
Turing patterns emerge from a spatially uniform state following a linear instability driven by diffusion. Features of the eventual pattern (stabilized by non-linearities) are already present in the initial unstable modes. On a uniform flat…
Drops of active liquid crystal have recently shown the ability to self-propel, which was associated with topological defects in the orientation of active filaments [Sanchez {\em et al.}, Nature {\bf 491}, 431 (2013)]. Here, we study the…
We clarify the connection between attractor solutions known from studies of Bjorken flow in conformal models of relativistic fluid dynamics and the more general description of attractors as submanifolds in phase space. We show how to…
We study the dissipative evolution of (0+1)-dimensionally expanding media with Bjorken symmetry using the Boltzmann equation for massive particles in relaxation-time approximation. Breaking conformal symmetry by a mass induces a non-zero…

We investigate the late-time asymptotic solutions and attractor structure of the spin density in minimal causal spin hydrodynamics in Gubser flow. After deriving the differential equation governing the spin density, we obtain its late-time…
Ring-like ripples on the surface of icicles are an example of morphological instability of the ice-water interface during ice growth under supercooled water film flow. The surface of icicles is typically covered with ripples of about 1 cm…
There are three fundamental physical processes that gives rise to the morphology of a surface: deposition, surface diffusion and desorption. The characteristics of the interfaces generated by the combination of deposition and surface…
Repulsive self-propelled particles tend to cluster, leading to Motility-Induced Phase Separation (MIPS). By analogy with equilibrium phase separation, the onset of MIPS has been associated with a transition to effective attraction between…
Properties of an infinite system of nonlinearly coupled ordinary differential equations are discussed. This system models some properties present in the equations of motion for an inviscid fluid such as the skew symmetry and the…
Erosion of rocky coasts spontaneously creates irregular seashores. But the geometrical irregularity, in turn, damps the sea-waves, decreasing the average wave amplitude. There may then exist a mutual self-stabilisation of the waves…
