Stochastic dynamical systems arise as models for fluid particle motion in geophysical flows with random velocity fields. Escape probability (from a fluid domain) and mean residence time (in a fluid domain) quantify fluid transport between…
We investigate an inequality constraining the energy and potential enstrophy flux spectra in two-layer and multi-layer quasi-geostrophic models. Its physical significance is that it can diagnose whether any given multi-layer model that…

We numerically and theoretically investigate the Boussinesq Eady model, where a rapidly rotating density-stratified layer of fluid is subject to a meridional temperature gradient in thermal wind balance with a uniform vertically sheared…
Quasi-geostrophic flow is an asymptotic theory for flows in rotating systems that are in geostrophic balance to leading order. It is characterized by the conservation of (quasi-geostrophic) potential vorticity and weak vertical flows.…

The purpose of this review-and-research paper is twofold: (i) to review the role played in climate dynamics by fluid-dynamical models; and (ii) to contribute to the understanding and reduction of the uncertainties in future climate-change…
When injecting CO2 or other fluids into a geological formation, pressure plays an important role both as a driver of flow and as a risk factor for mechanical integrity. The full effect of geomechanics on aquifer flow can only be captured…
Granular material on an inclined plane will flow like a fluid if the angle $\theta$ the plane makes with the horizontal is large enough. We employ a modification of a hydrodynamic model introduced previously to describe Couette flow…
We study a Cahn--Hilliard two-phase model describing the flow of two viscoelastoplastic fluids, which arises in geodynamics. A phase-field variable indicates the proportional distribution of the two fluids in the mixture. The motion of the…
In this paper, we consider a stochastic version of the Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman model in a smooth two- or three-dimensional domain with dynamical boundary conditions. The system describes creeping two-phase flows and is basically a coupling…
In this work, we derive a new model for immiscible two-layer gas-liquid stratified flows in pipes with general cross sections. The bottom layer is occupied by an incompressible fluid in liquid phase with hydrodynamics based on a hydrostatic…
