In this paper we describe the solution of a stochastic bistable system from a dynamical perspective. We show how a single framework with variable noise can explain hysteresis at zero temperature and two-state coexistence in the presence of…
We discuss experimental investigations on steady streaming flows of dilute and semi-dilute polymer solutions in microfluidic devices. The effect of non-Newtonian behavior on steady streaming for different model fluids is determined by…
The onset of viscous fingering in the presence of a non monotonic viscosity profile is investigated theoretically for two immiscible fluids. Classical fluid dynamics predicts that no unstable behavior may be observed when a viscous fluid…
The velocity and friction properties of laminar pipe flow of a viscoelastic solution are bounded by the corresponding values for two Newtonian fluids, namely, the solvent and a fluid with a viscosity identical to the total viscosity of the…
We study the flow of two immiscible fluids located on a solid bottom, where the lower fluid is Newtonian and the upper fluid is a non-Newtonian Ellis fluid. Neglecting gravitational effects, we consider the formal asymptotic limit of small…
This paper concerns a diffuse interface model for the flow of two incompressible viscoelastic fluids in a bounded domain. More specifically, the fluids are assumed to be macroscopically immiscible, but with a small transition region, where…
Linear stability of horizontal and inclined stratified channel flows of Newtonian/non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids is investigated with respect to all wavelength perturbations. The Carreau model has been chosen for the modeling of the…
We solve a conjecture on multiple nondegenerate steady states, and prove bistability for sequestration networks. More specifically, we prove that for any odd number of species, and for any production factor, the fully open extension of a…
We investigate a simple network, which has a branching-merging structure, using the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, considering conflicts at the merging point. For both periodic and open boundary conditions, the system exhibits…
We study the equilibrium configurations of a possibly asymmetric fluid-structure-interaction problem. The fluid is confined in a bounded planar channel and is governed by the stationary Navier-Stokes equations with laminar inflow and…
Cell-fate transition can be modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which describe the behavior of several molecules in interaction, and for which each stable equilibrium corresponds to a possible phenotype (or 'biological…
Motivated by the complex rheological behaviors observed in small/micro scale blood vessels, such as the Fahraeus effect, plasma-skimming, shear-thinning, etc., we develop a non-linear suspension model for blood. The viscosity is assumed to…
An exhaustive description of the dynamics under shear flow of a large number of red blood cells in dilute regime is proposed, which highlights and takes into account the dispersion in cell properties within a given blood sample.…
We introduce a lattice Boltzmann for simulating an immiscible binary fluid mixture. Our collision rules are derived from a macroscopic thermodynamic description of the fluid in a way motivated by the Cahn-Hilliard approach to…
Network fluids are structured fluids consisting of chains and branches. They are characterized by unusual physical properties, such as, exotic bulk phase diagrams, interfacial roughening and wetting transitions, and equilibrium and…
In many geophysical and astrophysical flows, suppression of fluctuations along one direction of the flow drives a quasi-2D upscale flux of kinetic energy, leading to the formation of strong vortex condensates at the largest scales. Recent…
In this paper we consider a coupled system of pdes modelling the interaction between a two--dimensional incompressible viscous fluid and a one--dimensional elastic beam located on the upper part of the fluid domain boundary. We design a…
We simulate by lattice Boltzmann the steady shearing of a binary fluid mixture with full hydrodynamics in three dimensions. Contrary to some theoretical scenarios, a dynamical steady state is attained with finite correlation lengths in all…
We consider the model of viscous compressible homogeneous multi-fluids with multiple velocities. We review different formulations of the model and the existence results for boundary value problems. We analyze crucial mathematical…
Meandering instability is familiar to everyone through river meandering or small rivulets of rain flowing down a windshield. However, its physical understanding is still premature, although it could inspire researchers in various fields,…
