Diffraction of elastic waves is considered for a system consisting of two parallel arrays of thin (subwavelength) cylinders that are arranged periodically. The embedding media supports waves with all polarizations, one longitudinal and two…

We investigate a reaction-diffusion-advection equation of the form $u_t-u_{xx}+\beta u_x=f(u)$ $(t>0,\,0<x<h(t))$ with mixed boundary condition at $x=0$ and a free boundary condition at $x=h(t)$. Such a model may be applied to describe the…
Bounce-averaged theories provide a framework for simulating relatively slow processes, such as collisional transport and quasilinear diffusion, by averaging these processes over the fast periodic motions of a particle on a closed orbit.…

We consider single-file diffusion in an open system with two species $A,B$ of particles. At the boundaries we assume different reservoir densities which drive the system into a non-equilibrium steady state. As a model we use an…
