We study reductions of the Hamiltonian flows restricted to their invariant submanifolds. As examples, we consider partial Lagrange-Routh reductions of the natural mechanical systems such as geodesic flows on compact Lie groups and…

We construct sub-grid scale models of incompressible fluids by considering expectations of semi-martingale Lagrangian particle trajectories. Our construction is based on the Lagrangian decomposition of flow maps into mean and fluctuation…

We introduce Perelman's $W$-entropy and prove the $W$-entropy formula along the geodesic flow on the $L^2$-Wasserstein space over compact Riemannian manifolds equipped with Otto's Riemannian metric, which allows us to recapture a previous…

Gradient flows of the Kullback--Leibler (KL) divergence, such as the Fokker--Planck equation and Stein Variational Gradient Descent, evolve a distribution toward a target density known only up to a normalizing constant. We introduce new…

Homological equations of tensor type associated to periodic flows on a manifold are studied. The Cushman intrinsic formula is generalized to the case of multivector fields and differential forms. Some applications to normal forms and the…

We apply the stochastic variational method to the action of the ideal fluid and showed that the Navier-Stokes equation is derived. In this variational method, the effect of dissipation is realized as the direct consequence of the…

We discuss stochastic derivations, stochastic Hamiltonians and the flows that they generate, algebraic fluctuaion-dissipation theorems, etc., in a language common to both classical and quantum algebras. It is convenient to define distinct…

We consider the motion of a particle governed by a weakly random Hamiltonian flow. We identify temporal and spatial scales on which the particle trajectory converges to a spatial Brownian motion. The main technical issue in the proof is to…

We study existence of probability measure valued jump-diffusions described by martingale problems. We develop a simple device that allows us to embed Wasserstein spaces and other similar spaces of probability measures into locally compact…

We are modelling multi-scale, multi-physics uncertainty in wave-current interaction (WCI). To model uncertainty in WCI, we introduce stochasticity into the wave dynamics of two classic models of WCI; namely, the Generalised Lagrangian Mean…

Minimizing functionals in the space of probability distributions can be done with Wasserstein gradient flows. To solve them numerically, a possible approach is to rely on the Jordan-Kinderlehrer-Otto (JKO) scheme which is analogous to the…

Fluids can behave in a highly irregular, turbulent way. It has long been realised that, therefore, some weak notion of solution is required when studying the fundamental partial differential equations of fluid dynamics, such as the…

We present the noncanonical Hamiltonian structure of the relativistic Euler equations for a perfect fluid in Minkowski spacetime. By identifying the system's noncanonical Poisson bracket and Hamiltonian, we show that relativistic fluid…
