The viscous fingering instability, which forms when a less-viscous fluid invades a more-viscous one within a confined geometry, is an iconic system for studying pattern formation. For both miscible and immiscible fluid pairs the growth…
The necessity of a newly proposed (PRD 70 (2004) 64004) non-Riemannian acoustic spacetime structure called acoustic torsion of sound wave equation in fluids with vorticity are discussed. It is shown that this structure, although not always…

Viscous streaming refers to the rectified, steady flows that emerge when a liquid oscillates around an immersed microfeature, typically a solid body or a bubble. The ability of such features to locally concentrate stresses produces strong…
The flow of viscoelastic fluids in porous media is encountered in many practical applications, such as in the enhanced oil recovery process or in the groundwater remediation. Once the flow rate exceeds a critical value in such flows, an…
We study the hydrodynamic sound mode using gauge/gravity correspondence by examining a generic black brane background's response to perturbations. We assume that the background is generated by a single scalar field, and then generalize to…
We develop a model of an electrorheological fluid such that the fluid is considered as an anisotropic one with the viscosity depending on the second invariant of the rate of strain tensor, on the module of the vector of electric field…

Density fluctuations of fluids with negative pressure exhibit decreasing time behaviour in the long wavelength limit, but are strongly unstable in the small wavelength limit when a hydrodynamical approach is used. On the other hand, the…
Inviscid hydrodynamics mediates forces through pressure and other, typically irrotational, external forces. Acoustically induced forces must be consistent with arising from such a pressure field. The use of "acoustic stress" is shown to…
We demonstrate theoretically that acoustic forces acting on inhomogeneous fluids can be used to pattern and manipulate solute concentration fields into spatio-temporally controllable configurations stabilized against gravity. A theoretical…
A water monolayer squeezed between two solid planes experiences strong out-of-plane confinement effects while expanding freely within the plane. As a consequence, the transport of such two-dimensional water combines hydrodynamic and…
A new formulation of second-order viscous hydrodynamics, based on an expansion around a locally anisotropic momentum distribution, is presented. It generalizes the previously developed formalism of anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydro) to…
Starting with a brief introduction into the basics of relativistic fluid dynamics, I discuss our current knowledge of a relativistic theory of fluid dynamics in the presence of (mostly shear) viscosity. Derivations based on the generalized…
Cohesive granular materials are found in many natural and industrial environments, but experimental platforms for exploring the innate mechanical properties of these materials are often limited by the difficulty of adjusting cohesion…
The quasinormal mode of a gravitating and magnetized fluid in a spatially flat, isotropic and homogeneous cosmological background is derived in the presence of the fluid sources of anisotropic stress and of the entropic fluctuations of the…

We give a pedagogical review of a covariant and fully non-perturbative approach to study nonlinear perturbations in cosmology. In the first part, devoted to cosmological fluids, we define a nonlinear extension of the uniform-density…
