We consider viscous rotating accretion flows in which most of the viscously dissipated energy is stored as entropy rather than being radiated. Such advection-dominated flows may occur when the optical depth is either very small or very…
Rotationally symmetric bodies with longitudinal cross sections of parabolic shape are frequently used to model astrophysical objects, such as magnetospheres and other blunt objects, immersed in interplanetary or interstellar gas or plasma…
In a previous study on thermonuclear (type I) nursts on accreting neutron stars we addressed and demonstrated the importance of the effects of rotation, through the Coriolis force, on the propagation of the burning flame. However, that…
Particles in rotating saddle potentials exhibit precessional motion which, up to now, has been explained by explicit computation. We show that this precession is due to a hidden Coriolis-like force which, unlike the standard Coriolis force,…
We theoretically study in detail the hydrodynamic coupling of two equal-sized colloidal spheres at low Reynolds numbers assuming the particles to be harmonically trapped with respect to both their positions and orientations. By taking into…

Exact solutions are obtained for the steady flow of a power-law fluid between parallel plates with partial slip conditions and uniform cross flow. The problem is properly formulated and similarities are exploited. The exact solutions are…
Assuming self-similarity of the first kind, we get three possible values p=1/2, 1, 3/2 for the exponent describing the density profile, rho r^{-p}, of a non-radiative (and hence quasi-spherical) accretion flow. The high and low p cases are…
We investigate the sedimentation properties of quasi-neutrally buoyant inertial particles carried by incompressible zero-mean fluid flows. We obtain generic formulae for the terminal velocity in generic space-and-time periodic (or steady)…
One way to break acoustic reciprocity is to have a moving wave propagation medium. If the acoustic wave vector and the moving fluid velocity are collinear we can use the wave vector shift caused by the fluid flow to break reciprocity. In…
We consider anisotropic fluids with directional pressures $p_i = w_i \rho$ ($\rho$ is the density, $w_i = $const, $i = 1,2,3$) as sources of gravity in stationary cylindrically symmetric space-times. We describe a general way of obtaining…
The possibility of a negative drag force on a defect in nonequilibrium polariton quantum fluids is presented. We relate this phenomenon to the selective parametric amplification of the waves scattered by the defect. This leads to the…
A few comments are made on the role of nonperturbative and perturbative power corrections. This is followed by a description of energy flow observables and correlations that may provide a flexible approach to rapidity distributions in…
We discuss the nature of the radial and azimuthal components of centrifugal force associated with fluid flows in the equatorial plane of black hole space times. The equations of motion are solved for the radial and azimuthal components of…
