For the one dimensional Burgers equation with a random and periodic forcing, it is well-known that there exists a family of invariant measures, each corresponding to a different average velocity. In this paper, we consider the coupled…
A necessary and sufficient condition for linear stability of inviscid parallel shear flow is formulated by a novel variational method, where the velocity profile is assumed to be monotonic and analytic. Unstable eigenvalues of the Rayleigh…
We model a shear-thickening fluid that combines a tendency to form inhomogeneous, shear-banded flows with a slow relaxational dynamics for fluid microstructure. The interplay between these factors gives rich dynamics, with periodic regimes…
Multistability is a phenomenon prevalent in many natural systems. In climate, for example, it allows the possibility of irreversible consequences on planetary scale as a result of climate change. Indeed, a climate ``tipping element'' is a…

Regulatory dynamics in biology is often described by continuous rate equations for continuously varying chemical concentrations. Binary discretization of state space and time leads to Boolean dynamics. In the latter, the dynamics has been…
While there have been many studies examining the stability of hierarchical triple systems, the meaning of ``stability'' is somewhat vague and has been interpreted differently in previous literatures. The present paper focuses on ``Lagrange…
Atmospheric flows exhibit fluctuations of all scales (space -time) ranging from turbulence (millimeters-seconds) to climate (thousands of kilometers-years). The apparently random fluctuations however exhibit long-range spatio-temporal…
We subject the steady solutions of a spherically symmetric accretion flow to a time-dependent radial perturbation. The equation of the perturbation includes nonlinearity up to any arbitrary order, and bears a form that is very similar to…

Spatially localized states play an important role in transition to turbulence in shear flows (Kawahara, Uhlmann & van Veen, Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech. 44, 203 (2012)). Despite the fact that some of them are attractors on the separatrix between…
In a recent article (Forterre, PRL, 2001), we have reported a new instability observed in rapid granular flows down inclined planes that leads to the spontaneous formation of longitudinal vortices. From the experimental observations, we…

Time-dependent driving holds the promise of realizing dynamical phenomenon absent in static systems. Here, we introduce a correlated random driving protocol to realize a spatiotemporal order that cannot be achieved even by periodic driving,…

Transition from laminar to turbulent flow drastically changes the mixing, transport, and drag properties of fluids, yet when and how turbulence emerges is elusive even for simple flow within pipes and rectangular channels. Unlike the onset…

In natural settings, intermittent dynamics are ubiquitous and often arise from a coupling between external driving and spatial heterogeneities. A well-known example is the generation of transient, turbulent puffs of fluid through a pipe…
