Using limited observations of the velocity field of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, we successfully reconstruct the steady body force that drives the flow. The number of observed data points is less than 10\% of the number of…

The classical (overdamped) Langevin dynamics provide a natural algorithm for sampling from its invariant measure, which uniquely minimizes an energy functional over the space of probability measures, and which concentrates around the…

Many viscous liquids behave effectively as incompressible under high pressures but display a pronounced dependence of viscosity on pressure. The classical incompressible Navier-Stokes model cannot account for both features, and a simple…
