We explore the local well-posedness theory for the 2d inviscid Boussinesq system when the vorticity is given by a singular patch. We give a significant improvement of \cite{Hassainia-Hmidi} by replacing their compatibility assumption on the…
We develop the convex-analytic structure of the thermodynamic formalism for continuous maps on compact metric spaces. The pressure functional is the Legendre-Fenchel transform of the negative entropy, and the biconjugate recovery of the…
We study the linear asymptotic stability of stably stratified monotone shear flows for the Boussinesq equations in the periodic channel. By means of the limiting absorption principle, we obtain a precise description of the inviscid damping…
Thermal convection in an inclined layer between two parallel walls kept at different fixed temperatures is studied for fixed Prandtl number Pr=1.07. Depending on the angle of inclination and the imposed temperature difference, the flow…
The phenomenon of convection is found in a wide variety of settings on different scales -- from applications in the cooling technology of laptops to heating water on a stove, and from the movement of ocean currents to describing…
In this article we consider the multi-layer shallow water system for the propagation of gravity waves in density-stratified flows, with additional terms introduced by the oceanographers Gent and McWilliams in order to take into account…
The linear theory for rotating compressible convection in a plane layer geometry is presented for the astrophysically-relevant case of low Prandtl number gases. When the rotation rate of the system is large, the flow remains geostrophically…
Radiant spherical suspensions have an $\veps$-periodic distribution in a tridimensional incompressible viscous fluid governed by the Stokes-Boussinesq system. We perform the homogenization procedure when the radius of the solid spheres is…
Layer formation in a thermally destabilized fluid with stable density gradient has been observed in laboratory experiments and has been proposed as a mechanism for mixing molecular weight in late stages of stellar evolution in regions which…
This study addresses the well-posedness of a hemivariational inequality derived from the convective Brinkman-Forchheimer extended Darcy (CBFeD) model in both two and three dimensions. The CBFeD model describes the behavior of incompressible…
Fluids at supercritical pressures exhibit large variations in density near the pseudo critical line, such that buoyancy plays a crucial role in their fluid dynamics. Here, we experimentally investigate heat transfer and turbulence in…
This book chapter introduces to the concept of weak chaos, aspects of its ergodic theory description, and properties of the anomalous dynamics associated with it. In the first half of the chapter we study simple one-dimensional…
A 2D model representing the dynamical interaction of dust and gas in a planetary channel is explored. The two components are treated as interpenetrating fluids in which the gas is treated as a Boussinesq fluid while the dust is treated as…
In the quest to understand the basic universal features of compressible convection, one would like to disentangle genuine consequences of compression from spatial variations of transport properties. In the present work, we consider a very…
Condensible substances are nearly ubiquitous in planetary atmospheres. For the most familiar case-water vapor in Earth's present climate-the condensible gas is dilute, in the sense that its concentration is everywhere small relative to the…
There are two distinct regimes commonly used to model traveling waves in stratified water: continuous stratification, where the density is smooth throughout the fluid, and layer-wise continuous stratification, where the fluid consists of…
Gravity-driven flows of granular matter are involved in a wide variety of situations, ranging from industrial processes to geophysical phenomena, such as avalanches or landslides. These flows are characterized by the coexistence of solid…
The Enskog-like kinetic approach, recently introduced by us to study strongly inhomogeneous flu- ids, is reconsidered in order to improve the description of the transport coefficients. The approach is based on a separation of the…
The Boussingesq equations was introduced in understanding the coupling nature of the thermodynamics and the fluid dynamics. We show the existence of continuous periodic weak solutions of the Boussinesq equations which satisfies the…
We give an abridged account of a continued string of studies in condensed matter physics and in complex systems that span five decades. We provide links to access abstracts and full texts of a selected list of publications. The studies were…
