We consider a guided Bose-Einstein matter wave flowing through a disordered potential. We determine the critical velocity at which superfluidity is broken and compute its statistical properties. They are shown to be connected to extreme…
The scaling properties of the inverse moments of Wigner delay times are investigated in finite one-dimensional (1D) random media with one channel attached to the boundary of the sample. We find that they follow a simple scaling law which is…
We investigate time-irreversibility from the point of view of a single particle in Burgers turbulence. Inspired by the recent work for incompressible flows [Xu et al., PNAS 111.21 (2014) 7558], we analyze the evolution of the kinetic energy…
The Hilbert-Huang transform is applied to analyze single particle Lagrangian velocity data from numerical simulations of hydrodynamic turbulence. The velocity trajectory is described in terms of a set of intrinsic mode functions, C_{i}(t),…
Turbulence, ubiquitous in nature and across various systems, exhibits chaotic and intermittent fluctuations in space and time, defying precise prediction. For nearly a century, extensive efforts have been made to uncover the underlying…
We report experiments on gravity-capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid. The wave amplitudes are measured simultaneously in time and space using an optical method. The full space-time power spectrum shows that the wave energy…
Superfluid turbulence, often referred to as quantum turbulence, is a fascinating phenomenon for which a satisfactory theoretical framework is lacking. Holographic duality provides a systematic new approach to studying quantum turbulence by…
The instability of a liquid film in a nanotube is significantly influenced by van der Waals forces. A theoretical framework based on the axisymmetric Stokes equations is developed to investigate their effects through linear stability…
We use Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) to perform the first direct space- and time-resolved measurement of the dissipation rate~$\epsilon$ at the boundary of a turbulent flow. We have shown in a previous publication that this technique…
Here, we report experimental results on the rupture of flat colloidal films over a large range of volume fractions, 0.00 $\le \phi\le$ 0.47. The films are formed using a constant fluid volume, ruptured with a needle, and recorded using a…
Turbulent flows, ubiquitous in nature and engineering, comprise fluctuations over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. While flows with fluctuations in thermodynamic variables are much more common, much less is known about these…
An accurate understanding of the interplay between random and deterministic processes in generating extreme events is of critical importance in many fields, from forecasting extreme meteorological events to the catastrophic failure of…
We report on density waves in granular material, investigated both experimentally and numerically. When granular material falls through a long narrow pipe one observes recurrent clogging. The kinetic energy of the falling particles…
High-resolution, inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of the dynamic structure factor S(Q,\omega) of liquid water have been performed for wave vectors Q between 4 and 30 nm^-1 in distinctly different thermodynamic conditions (T= 263 -…
We consider the quantum capture of nonrelativistic massive particle by the moving infinite curve (cosmic string in wire approximation). It is shown that the cusp appearing on a string at a certain point due to the string dynamics can make…
We study the capillary wave dynamics of a single viscoelastic supported film and of a double layer of immiscible viscoelastic supported films. Using both simple scaling arguments and a continuum hydrodynamic theory, we investigate the…
Under the genuinely nonlinear assumption for 1-D $n\times n$ strictly hyperbolic conservation laws, we investigate the geometric blowup of smooth solutions and the development of singularities when the small initial data fulfill the generic…
The problem about a body in a three dimensional infinite channel is considered in the framework of the theory of linear water-waves. The body has a rough surface characterized by a small parameter $\epsilon>0$ while the distance of the body…
Understanding the dynamics of liquid films that make up bubbles is of practical and fundamental importance. Practically, this understanding is crucial for tuning bubble stability, while fundamentally, thin films are an excellent platform to…
A plethora of studies in the past decade describe tsunami hazards and study their evolution from the source to the target coastline, but mainly focus on coastal inundation and maximum runup. Nonetheless, anecdotal reports from eyewitnesses,…
