A key issue in fluid dynamics is the definition of the phase-space Lagrangian dynamics characterizing prescribed ideal fluids (i.e., continua), which is related to the dynamics of so-called \textit{ideal tracer particles} moving in the same…

In view of studying incompressible inviscid fluids, Brenier introduced in the late 80's a relaxation of a geodesic problem addressed by Arnold in 1966. Instead of inviscid fluids, the present paper is devoted to incompressible viscid…
Drag reduction by polymers in wall turbulence is bounded from above by a universal maximal drag reduction (MDR) velocity profile that is a log-law, estimated experimentally by Virk as $V^+(y^+)\approx 11.7 \log y^+ -17$. Here $V^+(y)$ and…
