This paper considers a family of non-diffusive active scalar equations where a viscosity type parameter enters the equations via the constitutive law that relates the drift velocity with the scalar field. The resulting operator is smooth…
Grad-div stabilization is a classical remedy in conforming mixed finite element methods for incompressible flow problems, for mitigating velocity errors that are sometimes called poor mass conservation. Such errors arise due to the…
We prove the equivalence between the notion of Wasserstein gradient flow for a one-dimensional nonlocal transport PDE with attractive/repulsive Newtonian potential on one side, and the notion of entropy solution of a Burgers-type scalar…

Problems of particle dynamics involving unsteady Stokes flows in confined geometries are typically harder to solve than their steady counterparts. Approximation techniques are often the only resort. Felderhof (see e.g. 2005, 2009b) has…
We report on recent work on adaptive timestep control for weakly instationary gas flows [16, 18, 17] carried out within SFB 401, TPA3. The method which we implement and extend is a space-time splitting of adjoint error representations for…
We address the statistical theory of fields that are transported by a turbulent velocity field, both in forced and in unforced (decaying) experiments. We propose that with very few provisos on the transporting velocity field, correlation…
We consider stochastic scalar conservation laws with spatially inhomogeneous flux. The regularity of the flux function with respect to its spatial variable is assumed to be low, so that entropy solutions are not necessarily unique in the…
Aggregation processes with an arbitrary number of conserved quantities are investigated. On the mean-field level, an exact solution for the size distribution is obtained. The asymptotic form of this solution exhibits nontrivial ``double''…
In this paper, we discuss some limitations of the modified equations approach as a tool for stability analysis for a class of explicit linear schemes to scalar partial derivative equations. We show that the infinite series obtained by…
All possible linearly independent local conservation laws for $n$-dimensional diffusion--convection equations $u_t=(A(u))_{ii}+(B^i(u))_i$ were constructed using the direct method and the composite variational principle. Application of the…
In this study, we investigate the performance of two novel first-order optimization algorithms, namely the rescaled-gradient flow (RGF) and the signed-gradient flow (SGF). These algorithms are derived from the forward Euler discretization…
In this paper we consider scalar conservation laws with a convex flux. Given a stationnary shock, we provide a feedback law acting at one boundary point such that this solution is now asymptotically stable in L 1-norm in the class of…
The Macroscopic Fluctuating Theory is presented from a practical and self consistent point of view. We take as starting point the assumption that a system at a mesoscopic scale is described by a field $\phi(x,t)$ that evolves by a Langevin…
We consider viscous two-dimensional steady flows of incompressible fluids past doubly periodic arrays of solid obstacles. In a class of such flows, the autocorrelations for the Lagrangian observables decay in accordance with the power law,…

We propose a new strategy for the determination of the step scaling function $\sigma(u)$ in finite size scaling studies using the Gradient Flow. In this approach the determination of $\sigma(u)$ is broken in two pieces: a change of the flow…
We introduce a residual-based stabilized formulation for incompressible Navier-Stokes flow that maintains discrete (and, for divergence-conforming methods, strong) mass conservation for inf-sup stable spaces with $H^1$-conforming pressure…
