It is increasingly common for models of shallow-layer overland flows to include equations for the evolution of the underlying bed (morphodynamics) and the motion of an associated sedimentary phase. We investigate the linear stability…
We study a reaction-diffusion model posed on two distinct spatial scales that accounts for diffusion, aggregation, fragmentation, and deposition of populations of colloidal particles within a porous material. In this model, the macroscopic…
The interaction of supercritical turbulent flows with granular sediment beds is challenging to study both experimentally and numerically; this challenging task has hampered the advances in understanding antidunes, the most characteristic…
In this manuscript, we extend the variational multiscale enrichment (VME) method to model the dynamic response of hyperelastic materials undergoing large deformations. This approach enables the simulation of wave propagation under…
Models of adhesion of extended particles on linear and planar substrates are of interest in interpreting surface deposition in colloid, polymer, and certain biological systems. An introduction is presented to recent theoretical advances in…
In order for a droplet to rebound rather than coalesce with a liquid bath, a layer of gas must persist throughout the impact. This gas, typically an air layer acts as a lubricant to the system and permits a pressure transfer between the two…
The weakly compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is known to suffer from the pressure oscillation, which would undermine the simulation stability and accuracy. To address this issue, we propose a generalized density dissipation…
Vertical equilibrium models have proven to be well suited for simulating fluid flow in subsurface porous media such as saline aquifers with caprocks. However, in most cases the dimensionally reduced model lacks the accuracy to capture the…

We introduce a "water retention" model for liquids captured on a random surface with open boundaries, and investigate it for both continuous and discrete surface heights 0, 1, ... n-1, on a square lattice with a square boundary. The model…
Multiple emulsions are a class of soft fluid in which small drops are immersed within a larger one and stabilized over long periods of time by a surfactant. We recently showed that, if a monodisperse multiple emulsion is subject to a…
The Discrete Particle Method (DPM) is used to model granular flows down an inclined chute. We observe three major regimes: static piles, steady uniform flows and accelerating flows. For flows over a smooth base, other (quasi-steady) regimes…
Using the volume averaging technique of Jackson (1997), we derive a set of two-fluid equations that describe the dynamics of a mono-disperse non-Brownian colloidal suspension in the semi-dilute regime. The equations are tensorial and can be…
The objective of this three-part work is to formulate and rigorously analyse a number of reduced mathematical models that are nevertheless capable of describing the hydrology at the scale of a river basin (i.e. catchment). Coupled surface…
Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics (SDPD) is a mesoscopic particle method which allows to select the level of resolution at which a fluid is simulated. The numerical integration of its equations of motion still suffers from the lack of…

This paper addresses the management of water flow in a rectangular open channel, considering the dynamic nature of both the channel's bathymetry and the suspended sediment particles caused by entrainment and deposition effects. The…
