Context. Turbulent convection models in nonlinear radial stellar pulsation models rely on an extra equation for turbulent kinetic energy and fail to adequately explain mode-selection problems. Since multidimensional calculations are…
The Ornstein-Zernike equation is a powerful tool in liquid state theory for predicting structural and thermodynamic properties of fluids. Combined with a suitable closure, it has been shown to reproduce e.g. the static structure factor,…
Suppose a projectile collides perpendicularly with a stationary rigid rod on a smooth horizontal table. We show that, contrary to what one naturally expects, it is not always the case that the rod acquires maximum angular velocity when…
Colloidal solutions posses a wide range of time and length scales, so that it is unfeasible to keep track of all of them within a single simulation. As a consequence some form of coarse-graining must be applied. In this work we use the…
Understanding thermal transport in nanoscale systems presents important challenges to both theory and experiment. In particular, the concept of local temperature at the nanoscale appears difficult to justify. Here, we propose a novel…
We calculate transport coefficients from the Chapman--Enskog expansion with BGK collision operators, obtaining exactly $\kappa = \frac{5nT}{2m\nu}$, and show that maximum entropy closure yields identical results when applied with the same…
We discuss the theory of spin waves in non-degenerate ultra-cold gases, and compare various methods which can be used to obtain appropriate kinetic equations. We then study non-hydrodynamic situations, where the amplitude of spin waves is…

The Enskog--Vlasov (EV) equation is a semi-empiric kinetic model describing gas-liquid phase transitions. In the framework of the EV equation, these correspond to an instability with respect to infinitely long perturbations, developing in a…
The Enskog-like kinetic approach, recently introduced by us to study strongly inhomogeneous flu- ids, is reconsidered in order to improve the description of the transport coefficients. The approach is based on a separation of the…
A model combining Enskog's collision integral for dense fluids with a Vlasov-style description of the van der Waals force is applied to supercooling. First, the spinodal temperature $T_{s}$ is calculated, at which a liquid becomes unstable…
We study boundary regularity for the normalized $p\mspace{1mu}$-parabolic equation in arbitrary bounded domains. Effros and Kazdan (Indiana Univ. Math. J. 20 (1970), 683-693) showed that the so-called tusk condition guarantees regularity…

In this work we explicitly calculate the thermal conductivity for a general bidimensional dilute gas of neutral molecules by solving Boltzmann's equation. Chapman-Enskog's method is used in order to analytically obtain this transport…
An overview of some analytical approaches to the computation of the structural and thermodynamic properties of single component and multicomponent hard-sphere fluids is provided. For the structural properties, they yield a thermodynamically…
We develop an enriched Galerkin (EG) method for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations that conserves both kinetic energy and helicity in the inviscid limit without introducing any additional projection variables. The method employs an…
