We consider an inverse problem for the linear one-dimensional wave equation with variable coefficients consisting in determining an unknown source term from a boundary observation. A method to obtain approximations of this inverse problem…
A variety of boundary value problems in linear transport theory are expressed as a diffusion equation of the two-way, or forward-backward, type. In such problems boundary data are specified only on part of the boundary, which introduces…
It is known that scale invariance is broken in the developed hydrodynamic turbulence due to intermittency, substantiating complexity of turbulent flows. Here we challenge the concept of broken scale invariance by establishing a hidden…
The problem of deriving a gradient flow structure for the porous medium equation which is {\em thermodynamic}, in that it arises from the large deviations of some microscopic particle system, is studied. To this end, a rescaled zero-range…
Laminar-turbulent intermittency is intrinsic to the transitional regime of a wide range of fluid flows including pipe, channel, boundary layer and Couette flow. In the latter turbulent spots can grow and form continuous stripes, yet in the…
Energy transmission over long distances by waves is a key mechanism for many natural processes. This possibility arises when an inhomogeneous medium is arranged in such a manner that it enables a certain type of wave to propagate with…
We consider a one-dimensional diffusion process with coefficients that are periodic outside of a finite 'interface region'. The question investigated in this article is the limiting long time / large scale behaviour of such a process under…
A one-dimensional, unsteady nozzle flow is modelled to identify the sources of indirect noise in multicomponent gases. First, from non-equilibrium thermodynamics relations, it is shown that a compositional inhomogeneity advected in an…
We introduced recently a new theoretical scheme which accounts for hydrodynamically expanding bulk matter, jets, and the interaction between the two. Important for the particle production at intermediate values of transverse momentum (p_t)…
We investigate the ability of 4D Particle Tracking Velocimetry measurements at high particle density to explore intermittency and irreversibility in a turbulent swirling flow at various Reynolds numbers. For this, we devise suitable tools…
We present a reduced order model for three dimensional unsteady pressure-driven flows in micro-channels of variable cross-section. This fast and accurate model is valid for long channels, but allows for large variations in the channel's…
In conventional fluid mechanics, the chemical composition and thermodynamic state of a fluid-solid interface are not considered when establishing velocity-field boundary conditions. As a consequence, fluid simulations are usually not able…
The clearing up of a wave nature of the energy and mass transfer phenomena in classical expressions of the molecular-kinetic theory has allowed to find a quantitative measure of intensity of processes of a thermal conductivity, viscosity…
This paper improves a previously established test involving only coefficients to decide a priori whether or not non-trivial symmetries of a large class of space-time dependent diffusion processes on the real line exist. When the existence…
Waveform inversion is theoretically a powerful tool to reconstruct subsurface structures, but a usually encountered problem is that accurate sources are very rare, causing the computation unstable and divergent. This challenging problem,…
Critical wetting is an elusive phenomenon for solid-fluid interfaces. Using interfacial models we show that the diverging length scales, which characterize complete wetting at an apex, precisely mimic critical wetting with the apex angle…
Three-pion interferometry is investigated for new information on the space-time structure of the pion source created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The two- and three-pion correlations are numerically computed for incoherent…
The transport properties of disordered systems are known to depend critically on dimensionality. We study the diffusion coefficient of a quantum particle confined to a lattice on the surface of a tube, where it scales between the 1D and 2D…
The evolution of the interface separating a conduit of light, viscous fluid rising buoyantly through a heavy, more viscous, exterior fluid at small Reynolds numbers is governed by the interplay between nonlinearity and dispersion. Previous…
Hadrons formed in heavy-ion collisions are not point-like objects, they cannot occupy too close space-time points. When the two bosons are too close to each other, their constituents start to mix and they cannot be considered as bosons…
