Wasserstein gradient flow (WGF) is a common method to perform optimization over the space of probability measures. While WGF is guaranteed to converge to a first-order stationary point, for nonconvex functionals the converged solution does…
The modeling of multi-phase flow is very challenging, given the range of scales as well as the diversity of flow regimes that one encounters in this context. We revisit the discrete equation method (DEM) for two-phase flow in the absence of…
Many studies have been conducted on flows of probability measures, often in terms of gradient flows. We utilize a generalized notion of derivatives with respect to time to model the instantaneous evolution of empirically observed…
