In this work, we derive reduced interface models for hydroelastic water waves coupled to a nonlinear viscoelastic plate. In a weakly nonlinear small-steepness regime we obtain bidirectional nonlocal evolution equations capturing the…
We consider several models of nonlinear wave equations subject to very strong damping and quasi-periodic external forcing. This is a singular perturbation, since the damping is not the highest order term. We study the existence of response…

We analyze the effective potential for nanoparticles trapped at a fluid interface within a simple model which incorporates surface and line tensions as well as a thermal average over interface fluctuations (capillary waves). For a single…
We investigate the formal stability of finite-amplitude non-zonal flows bifurcating from the trivial state in the unforced 2D Euler equations on the sphere. To bypass the degeneracy of the spherical Laplacian and filter out the…

The quasi-coherent effects in two-dimensional incompressible turbulence are analyzed starting from the test particle trajectories. They can acquire coherent aspects when the stochastic potential has slow time variation and the motion is not…

Structured models, such as PDEs structured by age or phenotype, provide a setting to study pattern formation in heterogeneous populations. Classical tools to quantify the emergence of patterns, such as linear and weakly nonlinear analyses,…
This thesis is concerned with dynamics of conservative nonlinear waves on bounded domains. In general, there are two scenarios of evolution. Either the solution behaves in an oscillatory, quasiperiodic manner or the nonlinear effects cause…
