The Boussinesq system for buoyancy driven fluids couples the momentum equation forced by the buoyancy with the convection-diffusion equation for the temperature. One fundamental issue on the Boussinesq system is the stability problem on…

Many theoretical treatments of transport in heterogeneous Darcy flows consider advection only. When local-scale dispersion is neglected, flux-weighting persists over time; mean Lagrangian and Eulerian flow velocity distributions relate…
We present an asymptotic form of the Boussinesq equations in the limit of small Peclet numbers i.e. when the time scale of motions is much larger than the time scale of thermal diffusion. We find that, in this limit, the effects of thermal…

Neither natural nor laboratory laminar flows are perfectly steady. Instead, they are frequently highly unsteady, as illustrated by experimental studies on B\'{e}nard convection. In the paper, we investigate the transition threshold of the…

We deal with some extensions of the space-fractional diffusion equation, which is satisfied by the density of a stable process (see Mainardi, Luchko, Pagnini (2001)): the first equation considered here is obtained by adding an exponential…
The electro-osmotic flow through a channel between two undulated surfaces induced by an external electric field is investigated. The gap of the channel is very small and comparable to the thickness of the electrical double layers. A lattice…
