Linear stability of inviscid, parallel, and stably stratified shear flow is studied under the assumption of smooth strictly monotonic profiles of shear flow and density, so that the local Richardson number is positive everywhere. The…
Separated flows past complex geometries are modelled by discrete vortex techniques. The flows are assumed to be rotational and inviscid, and a new technique is described to determine the streamfunctions for linear shear profiles. The…
This paper deals with the analysis of qualitative properties involved in the dynamics of Keller-Segel type systems in which the diffusion mechanisms of the cells are driven by porous-media flux-saturated phenomena. We study the…
On hydrophobic surfaces, roughness may lead to a transition to a superhydrophobic state, where gas bubbles at the surface can have a strong impact on a detected slip. We present two-phase lattice Boltzmann simulations of a Couette flow over…
Kinetically-constrained models are lattice-gas models that are used for describing glassy systems. By construction, their equilibrium state is trivial and there are no equal-time correlations between the occupancy of different sites. We…
We study the relevance of the staggered-flux phase in the t-J model using a system with two holes on a 32-site lattice with periodic boundary conditions. We find a staggered-flux pattern in the current-current correlation in the lowest…
It is known from both experiments and molecular dynamics simulations that chemically patterning a solid surface has an effect on the flow of an adjacent liquid. This fact is in stark contrast with predictions of classical fluid mechanics…

We use the Metropolis algorithm to study the stability of superfluid flow in a model system, namely the two-dimensional planar XY model. Flow properties are examined by studying the behaviour of the system in meta-stable ``twisted'' states.…
In this work we develop a theoretical framework for the localization of flow in the steadily flowing regime of sheared disordered solids with inertial dynamics on a microscopic scale. To this aim we perform rheology studies at fixed shear…
A flow model is developed for dense shear-driven granular flow. As described in the geomechanics literature, a critical state condition is reached after sufficient shearing beyond an initial static packing. During further shearing at the…
We perform a linear stability analysis of extended domains in phase-separating fluids of equal viscosity, in two dimensions. Using the coupled Cahn-Hilliard and Stokes equations, we derive analytically the stability eigenvalues for long…

A minimal athermal model for the flow of dense disordered materials is proposed, based on two generic ingredients: local plastic events occuring above a microscopic yield stress, and the non-local elastic release of the stress these events…
We inroduce a new model for Bingham fluids with a complicated dependence of the deformation velocity on the shear stress. Specific features of the flow rate for such fluid are studied. This model embraces many special and limiting cases,…
Directed percolation(DP) has recently emerged as a possible solution to the century old puzzle surrounding the transition to turbulence. Multiple model studies reported DP exponents, however experimental evidence is limited since the…
Shear-induced turbulence could play a significant role in mixing momentum and chemical species in stellar radiation zones, as discussed by Zahn (1974). In this paper we analyze the results of direct numerical simulations of stratified plane…
