I shortly describe the main results on elastically driven instabilities and elastic turbulence in viscoelastic inertia-less flows with curved streamlines. Then I describe a theory of elastic turbulence and prediction of elastic waves at…
We give a Dirichlet form approach for the construction of a distorted Brownian motion in $E:=[0,\infty)^n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$, where the behavior on the boundary is determined by the competing effects of reflection from and pinning at the…
The mechanics and statistical mechanics of a suspension of active particles are determined by the traction (force per unit area) on their surfaces. Here we present an exact solution of the direct boundary integral equation for the traction…
We consider systems of particles coupled with fluids. The particles are described by the evolution of their density, and the fluid is described by the Navier-Stokes equations. The particles add stress to the fluid and the fluid carries and…
The capture of a soft spherical particle by a rectangular slit leads to a non-monotonic pressure-flow rate relation at low Reynolds number. In the presence of the trapped particle the flow-induced deformations focus the streamlines and…

Manipulation of small-scale particles across streamlines is the elementary task of microfluidic devices. Many such devices operate at very low Reynolds numbers and deflect particles using arrays of obstacles, but a systematic quantification…
Discontinuous shear-thickening in dense suspensions naturally emerges from the activation of frictional forces by shear flow in non-Brownian systems close to jamming. Yet, this physical picture is incomplete as most experiments study soft…

We derive representations for finite-dimensional densities of the point processed associated with an Arratia flow with drift in terms of conditional expectations of the stochastic exponentials appearing in the analog of the Girsanov theorem…
We construct a Brownian motion on complex partial flag manifolds with blocks of equal size as a matrix-valued diffusion from a Brownian motion on the unitary group. This construction leads to an explicit expression for the characteristic…
This article presents a modelling of the formation of spanwise vorticity in the turbulent streaks of the oblique bands and spots of transitional plane Couette flow. A functional model is designed to mimic the coherent flow in the streaks.…
We prove that the stochastic differential equation $$ Y_{s,t}(x) = Y_{s,s}(x) + \int_0^{t-s} f(Y_{s,s+u}(x)) dX_{s+u}, Y_{s,s}(x)=x\in\R^d. $$ driven by a L\'evy process whose paths have finite p-variation almost surely for some $p\in[1,2)$…
The dynamics of a small rigid spherical particle in an unbounded pulsating vortex is considered, keeping constant the particle Stokes number St and varying the particle-to-fluid density ratio $\varrho$ and the pulsation frequency of the…
Numerical simulations of positively-buoyant suspension in a horizontally rotating cylinder were performed to study the formation of radial and axial patterns. The order parameter for low-frequency segregated phase and dispersed phase is…
We study theoretically and numerically a family of multi-point dynamic susceptibilities that quantify the strength and characteristic lengthscales of dynamic heterogeneities in glass-forming materials. We use general theoretical arguments…
The swimming of cells, far from any boundary, can arise in the absence of long-range liquid-crystalline order within the cytoplasm, but simple models of this effect are lacking. Here we present a two-dimensional model of droplet…
We consider the compressible Kraichnan model of turbulent advection with small molecular diffusivity and velocity field regularized at short scales to mimic the effects of viscosity. As noted in ref.[5], removing those two regularizations…
We use computer simulations to study highly dense systems of granular particles that are driven by oscillating forces. We implement different dissipation mechanisms that are used to extract the injected energy. In particular, the action of…
