We study the dynamics of the interface given by two incompressible viscous fluids in the Stokes regime filling a 2D horizontally periodic strip. The fluids are subject to the gravity force and the density difference induces the dynamics of…

Stably stratified fluids subject to sustained forcing are known to develop step-like density "staircases", where nearly homogeneous layers alternate with thin interfaces of strong stratification. However, long-time numerical investigations…

We study the dynamics of the travelling interface arising from a bistable piece-wise linear one-way coupled map lattice. We show how the dynamics of the interfacial sites, separating the two superstable phases of the local map, is finite…

We revisit the Swift-Hohenberg model for two-dimensional hexagonal patterns in the bistability region where hexagons coexist with the uniform quiescent state. We both analyze the law of motion of planar interfaces (separating hexagons and…

We study the statistical mechanics of a single active slider on a fluctuating interface, by means of numerical simulations and theoretical arguments. The slider, which moves by definition towards the interface minima, is active as it also…

We introduce a class of (2+1)-dimensional stochastic growth processes, that can be seen as irreversible random dynamics of discrete interfaces. "Irreversible" means that the interface has an average non-zero drift. Interface configurations…
