Nonsmooth formulations of physical models are common, particularly in climate modeling. However, in many of these models, there is little justification for this modeling choice, and no mathematical indication that the resulting behavior in…

In this paper, we study a nonlinear fluid-structure interaction problem driven by a multiplicative, white-in-time noise. The problem consists of the Navier-Stokes equations describing the flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid in a 2D…
We focus on the qualitative analysis of a reaction-diffusion with spatial heterogeneity. The system is a generalization of the well known FitzHugh-Nagumo system in which the excitability parameter is space dependent. This heterogeneity…

The problem of self-tuning a system to the Hopf bifurcation in the presence of noise and periodic external forcing is discussed. We find that the response of the system has a non-monotonic dependence on the noise-strength, and displays an…
Large-scale collective oscillation is discovered in the two-dimensional Euler equations. For initial conditions far from a base stationary flow, the system does not relax to the base stationary flow, but instead shows pairs of coherent…
We consider a mass-spring system immersed in an incompressible fluid flow governed by the Navier-Stokes equations subject to a prescribed time-periodic flow rate (and possibly external time-periodic body forces on the fluid and the mass).…
