We study the long-time behavior of an elliptic rigid body which is allowed to vertically translate and rotate in a 2D unbounded channel under the action of a Poiseuille flow at large distances. The motion of the fluid is modelled by the…
We consider arbitrary, possibly turbulent, Boussinesq flow which is smooth below a dissipative scale $l_d$. It is demonstrated that the stability of the flow with respect to growth of fluctuations with scale smaller than $l_d$ leads to a…

Finite-size impurities suspended in incompressible flows distribute inhomogeneously, leading to a drastic enhancement of collisions. A description of the dynamics in the full position-velocity phase space is essential to understand the…
Multi-phase flows encountered in nature or in industry, exhibit non trivial rheological properties, that can be understood better thanks to model materials and appropriate rheometers. Here, we use model unsaturated granular materials:…

To understand the process of pattern formation in a low-density granular flow, we propose a simple particle model. This model considers spherical particles moving over an inclined flat surface based on three forces: gravity as the driving…
Granular fronts are a common yet unexplained phenomenon emerging during the gravity driven free-surface flow of concentrated suspensions. They are usually believed to be the result of fluid convection in combination with particle size…
