We consider a biphasic continuum model for avascular tumour growth in two spatial dimensions, in which a cell phase and a fluid phase follow conservation of mass and momentum. A limiting nutrient that follows a diffusion process controls…

We investigate a class of higher-order nonlinear dispersive equations posed on the circle, subject to additive forcing by a finite-dimensional control. Our main objective is to establish approximate controllability by using the…
Many practical approximations in physics and engineering invoke a relatively long physical domain with a relatively thin cross-section. In this scenario we typically expect the system to have structures that vary slowly in the long…

In this paper we propose the first framework to study Burgers' equation featuring critical fast diffusion in form of $u_t+f(u)_x = (\ln u)_{xx}$. The solution possesses a strong singularity when $u=0$ hence bringing technical challenges.…
Patterns are quotidian in nature. Distinct multiscale patterns are generally a consequence of nonequilibrium dynamical processes associated with mechanical or hydrodynamic instabilities. In this thesis, I report experimental investigations…
Fracture in quasi-statically driven systems is studied by means of a discrete spring-block model. Developed from close comparison with desiccation experiments, it describes crack formation induced by friction on a substrate. The model…
We present a one-parameter extension of the raise and peel one-dimensional growth model. The model is defined in the configuration space of Dyck (RSOS) paths. Tiles from a rarefied gas hit the interface and change its shape. The adsorption…
