We deal with the obstacle problem for the porous medium equation in the slow diffusion regime $m>1$. Our main interest is to treat fairly irregular obstacles assuming only boundedness and lower semicontinuity. In particular, the considered…
The aggregation of particles in the free molecular regime is determined approximately for situations with a high degree of translational energy equilibration. The mean particle sizes develop linearly in time. Scaling relations are used to…

In this paper a new primal-dual mixed finite element method is introduced, aimed to model multiscale problems with several geometric subregions in the domain of interest. In each of these regions porous media fluid flow takes place, but…
We consider a nonlinear drift-diffusion system for multiple charged species in a porous medium in 2D and 3D with periodic microstructure. The system consists of a transport equation for the concentration of the species and Poisson's…
We study two problems. First, we consider the large deviation behavior of empirical measures of certain diffusion processes as, simultaneously, the time horizon becomes large and noise becomes vanishingly small. The law of large numbers…
In an open bounded real interval $\Omega$, the model for one-dimensional thermoelasticity given by \[ u_{tt} = u_{xx} - \big(f(\Theta)\big)_x, \qquad \Theta_t = \Theta_{xx} - f(\Theta) u_{xt}, \] is considered along with homogeneous…

In this paper, we establish the large deviation principles for stochastic porous media equations driven by time-dependent multiplicative noise on $\sigma$-finite measure space $(E,\mathcal{B}(E),\mu)$, and the Laplacian replaced by a…
Let $\sigma(u)$, $u\in \mathbb{R}$ be an ergodic stationary Markov chain, taking a finite number of values $a_1,...,a_m$, and $b(u)=g(\sigma(u))$, where $g$ is a bounded and measurable function. We consider the diffusion type process $$…
We first prove local-in-time well-posedness for the Muskat problem, modeling fluid flow in a two-dimensional inhomogeneous porous media. The permeability of the porous medium is described by a step function, with a jump discontinuity across…
We consider a one-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear equation of the form: $\partial_t u = (\Lambda^{-\alpha} u)\partial_x u - \nu \Lambda^{\beta}u$ where $\Lambda =(-\partial_{xx})^{\frac 12}$ is the fractional Laplacian and $\nu\ge 0$ is the…
We study the totally asymmetric exclusion process on the positive integers with a single particle source at the origin. Liggett (1975) has shown that the long term behaviour of this process has a phase transition: If the particle production…
The large deviation properties of equilibrium (reversible) lattice gases are mathematically reasonably well understood. Much less is known in non--equilibrium, namely for non reversible systems. In this paper we consider a simple example of…
For equations of order two with the Dirichlet boundary condition, as the Laplace problem, the Stokes and the Navier-Stokes systems, perforated domains were only studied when the distance between the holes $d_{\varepsilon}$ is equal or much…
The estimation of the permeability of porous media to fluids is of fundamental importance in fields as diverse as oil and gas industry, agriculture, hydrology and medicine. Despite more than 150 years since the publication of Darcy's linear…
A linear system of differential equations describing a joint motion of thermo-elastic porous body and incompressible thermo-fluid occupying porous space is considered. Although the problem is linear, it is very hard to tackle due to the…
We present a unified theory of fracture in disordered brittle media that reconciles apparently conflicting results reported in the literature. Our renormalization group based approach yields a phase diagram in which the percolation fixed…
We consider the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system which is well-accepted for describing dilute electrolytes as well as transport of charged species in homogeneous environments. Here, we study these equations in porous media whose electric…
The Richards' equation is a model for flow of water in unsaturated soils. The coefficients of this (nonlinear) partial differential equation describe the permeability of the medium. Insufficient or uncertain measurements are commonly…
