This work deals with two problems arising in mathematical ecology. The first problem is concerned with diploid branching particle models and its behavior when rapid stirring is added to the interaction. The particle models involve two types…
We study the convergence of the method of reflections for the Stokes equations in domains perforated by countably many spherical particles with boundary conditions typical for the suspension of rigid particles. We prove that a relaxed…
We study a stochastic particle system which is motivated from grain boundary coarsening in two-dimensional networks. Each particles lives on the positive real line and is labeled as belonging to either Species 1 or Species 2. Species 1…
In this work, we investigate a system of interacting particles governed by a set of stochastic differential equations. Our main goal is to rigorously demonstrate that the empirical measure associated with the particle system converges…
Collisionless suspensions of inertial particles (finite-size impurities) are studied in 2D and 3D spatially smooth flows. Tools borrowed from the study of random dynamical systems are used to identify and to characterise in full generality…
We consider a random model of diffusion and coagulation. A large number of small particles are randomly scattered at an initial time. Each particle has some integer mass and moves in a Brownian motion whose diffusion rate is determined by…
Particle suspensions in confined geometries can become clogged, which can have a catastrophic effect on function in biological and industrial systems. Here, we investigate the macroscopic dynamics of suspensions in constricted geometries.…
We consider finite element discretizations of the Biot's consolidation model in poroelasticity with MINI and stabilized P1-P1 elements. We analyze the convergence of the fully discrete model based on spatial discretization with these types…
We consider stochastic systems of interacting particles or agents, with dynamics determined by an interaction kernel which only depends on pairwise distances. We study the problem of inferring this interaction kernel from observations of…
We consider one-dimensional diffusions, with polynomial drift and diffusion coefficients, so that in particular the motion can be space-inhomogeneous, interacting via one-sided reflections. The prototypical example is the well-known model…
In this paper, we derive a new model for the description of liquid crystalline flows. While microscopic Doi type models suffer from the high dimensionality of the underlying product space, the more macroscopic Ericksen--Leslie type models…
We provide a mathematical analysis of the effective viscosity of suspensions of spherical particles in a Stokes flow, at low solid volume fraction $\phi$. Our objective is to go beyond the Einstein's approximation…
Turbulent suspensions of heavy particles in incompressible flows have gained much attention in recent years. A large amount of work focused on the impact that the inertia and the dissipative dynamics of the particles have on their dynamical…
The main subject of the thesis is the study of stationary nonequilibrium states trough the use of microscopic stochastic models that encode the physical interaction in the rules of Markovian dynamics for particles configurations. These…
In this paper we study the motion of a fluid with several dispersed particles whose concentration is very small (smaller than $10^{-3}$), with possible applications to problems coming from geophysics, meteorology, and oceanography. We…
We study the drift of suspended micro-particles in a viscous liquid pumped back and forth through a periodic lattice of pores (drift ratchet). In order to explain the particle drift observed in such an experiment, we present an…
We systematically derive an exact coarse-grained description for interacting particles with thermodynamically consistent stochastic dynamics, applicable across different observation scales, the mesoscopic and the macroscopic. We implement…
Using Stokesian dynamics simulations, we examine the flow of a monodisperse, neutrally buoyant, homogeneous suspension of non-Brownian solid spheres in simple shear, starting from a large number of independent hard-sphere distributions and…
A disordered version of the one dimensional asymmetric exclusion model where the particle hopping rates are quenched random variables is studied. The steady state is solved exactly by use of a matrix product. It is shown how the phenomenon…
Our ability to numerically model and understand the complex flow behavior of solid-bearing suspensions has increased significantly over the last couple of years, partly due to direct numerical simulations that compute flow around individual…
