Motivated by its application in ecology, we consider an extended Klausmeier model, a singularly perturbed reaction-advection-diffusion equation with spatially varying coefficients. We rigorously establish existence of stationary pulse…
This paper is devoted to reaction-diffusion equations with bistable nonlinearities depending periodically on time. These equations admit two linearly stable states. However, the reaction terms may not be bistable at every time. These may…

When a film of a liquid suspension of nanoparticles or a polymer solution is deposited on a surface, it may dewet from the surface and as the solvent evaporates the solute particles/polymer can be deposited on the surface in regular line…
We propose the generalization of the thin film equation (TFE) to arbitrarily many immiscible liquid layers. Then, we provide different pathways for deriving the hydrodynamic pressure within the individual layers, showing how to understand…
We rigorously justify the bilayer shallow-water system as an approximation to the hydrostatic Euler equations in situations where the flow is density-stratified with close-to-piecewise constant density profiles, and close-to-columnar…
We study the instability of a thin film composed of two miscible fluids (binary fluid) placed on a solid planar surface. We include the fact that both the free surface and wetting energies depend on the mixture concentration. By assuming a…
Precession driven flows are found in any rotating container filled with liquid, when the rotation axis itself rotates about a secondary axis that is fixed in an inertial frame of reference. Because of its relevance for planetary fluid…
Dispersion of low-density rigid particles with complex geometries is ubiquitous in both natural and industrial environments. We show that while explicit methods for coupling the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and Newton's equations…

Bead spring models for polymers in solution are nonlinear if either the finite extensibility of the polymer, excluded volume effects or hydrodynamic interactions between polymer segments are taken into account. For such models we use a…
