Fluidic transport in inverted T-shaped cavities with the flow entering through the top and exiting from the two bottom outlets experiences an interesting phenomenon that causes particles having density lower than that of the fluid medium to…
We investigate the dynamics of flows past a stationary circular cylinder embedded on spherical and cylindrical surfaces at a fixed Reynolds number of 100. For flows on surfaces, it is convenient to express the Navier-Stokes equations in…

We present a macro-scale description of quasi-periodically developed flow in channels, which relies on double volume-averaging. We show that quasi-developed macro-scale flow is characterized by velocity modes which decay exponentially in…
I survey some of the developments in the theory of Ricci flow and its applications from the past decade. I focus mainly on the understanding of Ricci flows that are permitted to have unbounded curvature in the sense that the curvature can…

A scenario is put forward for the appearance of three-dimensionality both in quasi-2D rotating flows and quasi-2D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. We show that 3D recirculating flows and currents originate in wall boundary layers and that,…
Frequently observed divergence of numerical solutions to benchmark flows of the UCM viscoelastic fluid is a known and widely discussed issue. Some authors consider such singularities "invincible". The article argues this position, to which…

We consider the evolution by mean curvature of smooth $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ which are compact and quadratically pinched. We will be primarily interested in flows of high codimension, the case $k\geq 2$. We prove…

A new analytical criterion that captures the onset of separation of flow past elliptic cylinders is derived by considering the variation of the wall normal velocity in Reynolds number parameter space. It is shown that this criterion can be…

Two-dimensional turbulence self-organizes through a process of energy accumulation at large scales, forming a coherent flow termed a condensate. We study the condensate in a model with local dynamics, the large-scale quasi-geostrophic…
