The dynamics of a one-dimensional stochastic model is studied in presence of an absorbing boundary. The distribution of fluctuations is analytically characterized within the generalized van Kampen expansion, accounting for higher order…
We study the evolution of local event-by-event deviations from smooth average fluid dynamic fields, as they can arise in heavy ion collisions from the propagation of fluctuating initial conditions. Local fluctuations around Bjorken flow are…
We study the evolution of closed inextensible planar curves under a second order flow that decreases the $p$-elastic energy. A short time existence result for $p \in (1,\infty)$ is obtained via a minimizing movements method. For $p = 2$,…
We consider the damped hyperbolic motion of polygons by a linear semi-discrete analogue of polyharmonic curve diffusion. We show that such flows may transition any polygon to any other polygon, reminiscent of the Yau problem of evolving one…
We are concerned with underlying connections between fluids, elasticity, isometric embedding of Riemannian manifolds, and the existence of wrinkled solutions of the associated nonlinear partial differential equations. In this paper, we…
We study translating soliton solutions to the flow by powers of the curvature of curves in the plane. We characterize these solitons as critical curves for functionals depending on the curvature. More precisely, translating solitons to the…
We consider closed, embedded, smooth curves in the plane and study their behaviour under curve flows with a global forcing term. We prove an analogue to Huisken's distance comparison principle for curve shortening flow for initial curves…
In this paper we consider the Muskat problem describing the motion of two unbounded immiscible fluid layers with equal viscosities in vertical or horizontal two-dimensional geometries. We first prove that the mathematical model can be…
It is shown how a complete set of hydrodynamic equations describing an unsteady three-dimensional viscous flow nearby a solid body, can be reduced to a closed system of surface equations using the method of dimension reduction of…
We study the area preserving curve shortening flow with Neumann free boundary conditions outside of a convex domain in the Euclidean plane. Under certain conditions on the initial curve the flow does not develop any singularity, and it…
We consider the Euler equations in ${\mathbb R}^3$ expressed in vorticity form. A classical question that goes back to Helmholtz is to describe the evolution of solutions with a high concentration around a curve. The work of Da Rios in 1906…
It is well-established that shear flows are linearly unstable provided the viscosity is small enough, when the horizontal Fourier wave number lies in some interval, between the so-called lower and upper marginally stable curves. In this…
For a one-dimensional wave equation, we consider a mixed problem in a curvilinear half-strip. The initial conditions have a first-kind discontinuity at one point. The mixed problem models the problem of a longitudinal impact on a finite…
Consider the wave propagation in a two-layered medium consisting of a homogeneous compressible air or fluid on top of a homogeneous isotropic elastic solid. The interface between the two layers is assumed to be an unbounded rough surface.…
When considering flows in biological membranes, they are usually treated as flat, though more often than not, they are curved surfaces, even extremely curved, as in the case of the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, we study the topological…
Interactions between fluids and elastic solids are ubiquitous in application ranging from aeronautical and civil engineering to physiological flows. Here we study the pulsatile flow through a two-dimensional Starling resistor as a simple…
We consider the evolution of fronts by mean curvature in the presence of obstacles. We construct a weak solution to the flow by means of a variational method, corresponding to an implicit time-discretization scheme. Assuming the regularity…
We consider the fractional mean curvature flow of entire Lipschitz graphs. We provide regularity results, and we study the long time asymptotics of the flow. In particular we show that in a suitable rescaled framework, if the initial graph…
We develop and implement a novel lattice Boltzmann scheme to study multicomponent flows on curved surfaces, coupling the continuity and Navier-Stokes equations with the Cahn-Hilliard equation to track the evolution of the binary fluid…
In this article, we prove that solutions to a problem in nonlinear elasticity corresponding to small initial displacements exist globally in the exterior of a nontrapping obstacle. The medium is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic, and…
