The general concern of this paper is the effect of rough boundaries on fluids. We consider a stationary flow, governed by incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, in an infinite domain bounded by two horizontal rough plates. The roughness is…
A flexible membrane deforming its shape in time can self-propel in a viscous fluid. Alternatively, if the membrane is anchored, its deformation will lead to fluid transport. Past work in this area focused on situations where the deformation…
We consider the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid on a compact Riemannian manifold $\sM$ with boundary. The motion on $\sM$ is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the fluid is subject to pure or partial slip…
We explore the dynamics of a nanoscale doubly-clamped beam that is under high tension, immersed in a viscous fluid, and driven externally by a spatially varying drive force. We develop a theoretical description that is valid for all…

The motion and deformation of a droplet suspended in an unbounded fluid with an arbitrary, but Stokesian, imposed flow is investigated when there is a slip at the interface between the two liquids. The boundary condition at the interface is…
We present a novel method to investigate the dynamics of a single semiflexible polymer, subject to anisotropic friction in a viscous fluid. In contrast to previous approaches, we do not rely on a discrete bead-rod model, but introduce a…
We study a system describing the compressible barotropic fluids interacting with (visco) elastic solid shell/plate. In particular, the elastic structure is part of the moving boundary of the fluid, and the Navier-slip type boundary…
