A brief summary of results on homotheties in General Relativity is given, including general information about space-times admitting an r-parameter group of homothetic transformations for r>2, as well as some specific results on perfect…
We show that a flow (timelike congruence) in any type $B_{1}$ warped product spacetime is uniquely and algorithmically determined by the condition of zero flux. (Though restricted, these spaces include many cases of interest.) The flow is…

We explore the relationship between mechanical systems describing the motion of a particle with the mechanical systems describing a continuous medium. More specifically, we will study how the so-called intermediate integrals or fields of…
We expand previous work on an inverse approach to Einstein Field Equations where we include fluids with energy flux and consider the vanishing of the anisotropic stress tensor. We consider the approach using warped product spacetimes of…
It is argued that any operational measure of time is inseparably bound to the presence of a periodic process in some medium. Since, as first formulated by Einstein's (1905) equation for the energy, all "particles" (neutrons, electrons,…
Superfluidity and superconductivity have been studied widely since the last century in many different contexts ranging from nuclear matter to atomic quantum gases. The rigidity of these systems with respect to external perturbations results…
The classical problem of the flow over a circular cylinder at Reynolds number 40 is considered using an accurate pseudo-spectral code. A new set of boundary conditions is proposed to improve the representation of the infinite flow domain,…
This paper reviews some of the principal uses, over almost seven decades, of correlations, in both Eulerian and Lagrangian frames of reference, of properties of turbulent flows at variable spatial locations and variable time instants.…
In this note we analyze a model for a unidirectional unsteady flow of a viscous incompressible fluid with time dependent viscosity. A possible way to take into account such behaviour is to introduce a memory formalism, including thus the…
We consider the gravitational clustering of a multicomponent fluid in an expanding Newtonian universe, taking into account the mutual gravitational interactions of the medium. We obtain a set of exact and approximate solutions for two fluid…
We find a class of exact solutions of differentially rotating dust in the framework of General Relativity. There exist asymptotically flat space-times of the flow with positive mass function that for radii sufficiently large is monotonic…
The paper presents an attempt to suggest an alternative way of considering the fundamentals of Einstein's special relativity theory. Its formulation based on introducing an inertial reference system by rigid linking of clocks to a free…
Models with dust reference fields in relational formalism have proved useful in understanding the construction of gauge-invariant perturbation theory to arbitrary orders in the canonical framework. These reference fields modify the…
Motivated by the desire for highly accurate numerical computations of compact binary spacetimes in the era of gravitational wave astronomy, we reexamine hyperbolicity and well-posedness of the initial value problem for popular models of…
In three space dimensions, we consider the compressible inviscid model describing the time evolution of two fluids sharing the same velocity and enjoying the algebraic pressure closure. By employing the technique of convex integration, we…
With special relativity, we seem to be facing a conundrum. It is a very well-tested theory; in this way, the Minkowski spacetime must be "capturing" essential features of space and time. However, its geometry seems to be incompatible with…
Based on the idea of emergent spacetime, we consider the possibility that the material underlying our spacetime is modelled by a fluid. We are particularly interested in possible connections between the geometrical properties of the…
We present a comprehensive Eulerian (Hamiltonian) framework for relativistic fluid dynamics in curved spacetimes, with emphasis on Schwarzschild geometry. The key innovation lies in the consistent use of density and three-velocity fields,…
We study Hamiltonian flows in a real separable Hilbert space endowed with a symplectic structure. Measures on the Hilbert space that are invariant with respect to the flows of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems are investigated.…
