We suppose that a rigid spherical particle is put into a binary fluid mixture with the critical composition in the homogeneous phase near the demixing critical point. A short-range interaction is assumed between each component and the…

We consider the homogenisation of a diffusion equation in a porous medium. The microstructure is time-dependent and oscillating on a small time scale. This oscillation causes a novel advection in the homogenised equations. Allowing for a…
It is found experimentally that the coexistence region of a vapor-liquid system or a binary mixture is substantially narrowed when the fluid is confined in a aerogel with a high degree of porosity (e.g. of the order of 95% to 99%). A…
We study stochastic particle systems that conserve the particle density and exhibit a condensation transition due to particle interactions. We restrict our analysis to spatially homogeneous systems on finite lattices with stationary product…
In this paper, we investigate the construction of a diffusion process whose time-marginal densities are constrained to belong to a given set at all time. The construction is obtained from a penalization approximation to the constraint set,…
Epidemic spreading often occurs in spatially heterogeneous environments, yet how quenched heterogeneity reshapes its onset and critical dynamics remains poorly understood. The diffusive epidemic process, a minimal reaction-diffusion model…
In this work we develop a homogenisation methodology to upscale mathematical descriptions of microcirculatory blood flow from the microscale (where individual vessels are resolved) to the macroscopic (or tissue) scale. Due to the assumed…
We study the absorbing state transition in particulate systems under spatially inhomogeneous driving using a modified random organization model. For smoothly varying driving the steady state results map onto the homogeneous absorbing state…
