Ferrofluids are a class of materials that exhibit both fluid and magnetic properties. We consider a two-phase diffuse interface model for the dynamics of ferrofluids on a bounded domain. One phase is assumed to be magnetic, the other phase…
An analytical theory of wave turbulence is developed for pure compressible magnetohydrodynamics in the small $\beta$ limit. In contrast to previous works where the multiple scale method was not mentioned and slow magneto-acoustic waves were…
This paper concerns the global-in-time evolution of a generic compressible two-fluid model in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq3$) with the common pressure law. Due to the non-dissipative properties for densities and two different particle paths…
The magnetic field measured in the Madison Dynamo Experiment shows intermittent periods of growth when an axial magnetic field is applied. The geometry of the intermittent field is consistent with the fastest growing magnetic eigenmode…
The study of dynamo action in astrophysical objects classically involves two timescales: the slow diffusive one and the fast advective one. We investigate the possibility of field amplification on an intermediate timescale associated with…
It is remarkable that the primordial fluctuations as revealed by the CMB coincide with what quantum fluctuations would look like if they were stretched across the sky by accelerated cosmic expansion. It has been observed that this same…
{\em Voyager 1} and {\em 2} data reveals that magnetic field fluctuations are compressive and exhibit a Gaussian distribution in the compressed heliosheath plasma, whereas they follow a lognormal distribution in a nearly incompressible…

This paper extends our earlier approach [cf. Phys. Plasmas 17, 032503 (2010), 23, 022308 (2016)] to obtaining a priori bounds on enstrophy in neutral fluids (R-Euler) and ideal magnetohydrodynamics (R-MHD). This results in a far-reaching…
We show that the maximal globally hyperbolic development of near-FLRW initial data for the Einstein scalar-field Vlasov system exhibits stable Big Bang formation in the collapsing direction. The solutions exhibit stable Kretschmann scalar…
This paper is the fourth in a series exploring the physical consequences of the solidity of highly viscous liquids. It is argued that the two basic characteristics of a flow event (a jump between two energy minima in configuration space)…
We consider the macroscopic limit for the space-time density fluctuations in the open symmetric simple exclusion in the quasi-static scaling limit. We prove that the distribution of these fluctuations converge to a gaussian space-time field…
We numerically demonstrate the feasibility of kinematic fast dynamos for a class of time-periodic axisymmetric flows of conducting fluid confined inside a sphere. The novelty of our work is in considering the realistic flows, which are…
We study a system of backscattering hard rods in one dimension. Contrary to the usual ballistic hard rods, these hard rods flip the sign of their velocities with a rate $\gamma$. This leads to the decay of the odd moments of velocity while…
Intermittent large-scale high-shear flows are found to occur frequently and spontaneously in direct numerical simulations of statistically stationary turbulent Boussinesq magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) convection. The energetic steady-state of…
We study, using numerical simulations, the dynamical evolution of self-gravitating point particles in static euclidean space, starting from a simple class of infinite ``shuffled lattice'' initial conditions. These are obtained by applying…
Flow-induced instabilities are relevant for the storage and dynamics of magnetic fields in stellar convection zones and possibly also in other astrophysical contexts. We continue the study started in the first paper of this series by…

The recently proposed dynamical effective field model (DEFM) is quantitatively accurate for describing dynamical magnetic response of ferrofluids. In paper I it is derived under the framework of dynamical density functional theory, via…
In this paper we study the Hamiltonian dynamics of charged particles subject to a non-self-consistent stochastic electric field, when the plasma is in the so-called weak turbulent regime. We show that the asymptotic limit of the Vlasov…
