The classical fluid dynamics boundary condition of no-slip suggests that variation in the wettability of a solid should not affect the flow of an adjacent liquid. However experiments and molecular dynamics simulations indicate that this is…
We consider the stability of periodic gravity free-surface water waves traveling downstream at a constant speed over a shear flow of finite depth. In case the free surface is flat, a sharp criterion of linear instability is established for…
We develop a new boundary condition for the weak inverse mean curvature flow, which gives canonical and non-trivial solutions in bounded domains. Roughly speaking, the boundary of the domain serves as an outer obstacle, and the evolving…
The conformal heat flow of harmonic maps is a system of evolution equations combined with harmonic map flow with metric evolution in conformal direction. It is known that global weak solution of the flow exists and smooth except at mostly…
Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads…
Let $\Phi$ be a flow on a smooth, compact, finite-dimensional manifold $M$. Consider the subsets $E(\Phi)$ and $D(\Phi)$ of $C^{\infty}(M,M)$ consisting of smoothh mappings and diffeomorphisms (respectively) of $M$ preserving the foliation…
We prove that the geodesic flow on a compact locally CAT(-1) space has the weak specification property, and give various applications. We show that every H\"older potential on the space of geodesics has a unique equilibrium state. We…
We exhibit rationally ergodic, weakly mixing measure preserving transformations which are not subsequence rationally weakly mixing and give a condition for smoothness of renewal sequences.
As a counterpart of the classical Yamabe problem, a fractional Yamabe flow has been introduced by Jin and Xiong (2014) on the sphere. Here we pursue its study in the context of general compact smooth manifolds with positive fractional…
We prove that a Gibbs point process interacting via a finite-range, repulsive potential $\phi$ exhibits a strong spatial mixing property for activities $\lambda < e/\Delta_{\phi}$, where $\Delta_{\phi}$ is the potential-weighted connective…
We consider a finite region of a lattice of weakly interacting geodesic flows on manifolds of negative curvature and we show that, when rescaling the interactions and the time appropriately, the energies of the flows evolve according to a…
We show both numerically and analytically that a chemically patterned active pore can act as a micro/nano-pump for fluids, even if it is fore-aft symmetric. This is possible due to a spontaneous symmetry breaking which occurs when advection…
In this paper, we study the centralizer of a separating continuous flow without fixed points. We show that if $M$ is a compact metric space and $\phi_t:M\to M$ is a separating flow without fixed points, then $\phi_t$ has a quasi-trivial…
In this paper we introduce and study some stronger forms of transitivity like total transitivity, weakly mixing for maps on G-spaces. We obtain their relationship with the earlier defined notion of strongly mixing for maps on G-spaces. We…
We investigate the phase diagram of a two-component associating fluid mixture in the presence of selectively adsorbing substrates. The mixture is characterized by a bulk phase diagram which displays peculiar features such as closed loops of…
In this paper we investigate the flow of surfaces by a class of symmetric functions of the principal curvatures with a mixed volume constraint. We consider compact surfaces without boundary that can be written as a graph over a sphere. The…
We study passive scalar mixing by parallel shear flows in the presence of weak molecular diffusion. We recover the sharp uniform-in-diffusivity mixing rate for shear flows with finitely many critical points, recently proven in [1]. Our…
Arnol'd and Kochergin mixing conservative flows on surfaces stand as the main and almost only natural class of mixing transformations for which higher order mixing has not been established, nor disproved. Under suitable arithmetic…
Poincar\'e recurrence theorem implies the density of recurrent points for volume-preserving dynamical systems on compact domains. The density of closed orbits in the non-wandering set is one of the essential properties of Axiom A and chaos.…
The following work compares two popular mixed finite elements used to model subsurface flow and transport in heterogeneous porous media; the lowest order Raviart-Thomas element and the variational multiscale stabilized element. Comparison…
