We deal with the problem of separation of time-scales and filamentation in a linear drift-diffusion problem posed on the whole space $\mathbb{R}^2$. The passive scalar considered is stirred by an incompressible flow with radial symmetry. We…
Random advection of Lagrangian tracer scalar field $\theta (t,x)$ by a one-dimensional, spatially smooth and short-correlated in time velocity field is considered. Scalar fluctuations are maintained by a source concentrated at the integral…

We study the emergence of periodic oscillations through a Hopf bifurcation in a scalar diffusion equation on the half line coupled to a dynamic boundary condition. Our results quantify the effect of delay through the buffering in the…
Passive scalar equation is considered in a turbulent homogeneous incompressible Gaussian velocity field. The turbulent nature of the field results in non-smooth coefficients in the equation. A strong, in the stochastic sense, solution of…
An isotropic passive scalar field $T$ advected by a rapidly-varying velocity field is studied. The tail of the probability distribution $P(\theta,r)$ for the difference $\theta$ in $T$ across an inertial-range distance $r$ is found to be…
We present an improved model and theory for time-causal and time-recursive spatio-temporal receptive fields, obtained by a combination of Gaussian receptive fields over the spatial domain and first-order integrators or equivalently…

It is shown how Adler's trace dynamics can be applied to stochastic mechanics and other complex classical dynamical systems. Emergent non-commutivity due to the fractal nature of sample trajectories is closely related to the fact that the…
Advection of a passive scalar $\theta$ in $d=2$ by a large-scale velocity field rapidly changing in time is considered. The Gaussian feature of the passive scalar statistics in the convective interval was discovered in \cite{95CFKLa}. Here…
Active and passive scalars transported by an incompressible two-dimensional conductive fluid are investigated. It is shown that a passive scalar displays a direct cascade towards the small scales while the active magnetic potential builds…
One challenge in developing a statistical field theory of turbulence is the analysis of the functional equations that govern the complete statistics of the flow field. Simplified models of turbulence may help to develop such a statistical…
The effective equation of motion is derived for a scalar field interacting with other fields in a Friedman-Robertson-Walker background space-time. The dissipative behavior reflected in this effective evolution equation is studied both in…
We formulate a coherent approach to signals and systems theory on time scales. The two derivatives from the time-scale calculus are used, i.e., nabla (forward) and delta (backward), and the corresponding eigenfunctions, the so-called nabla…
