Layer formation in a thermally destabilized fluid with stable density gradient has been observed in laboratory experiments and has been proposed as a mechanism for mixing molecular weight in late stages of stellar evolution in regions which…
We study a mathematical model of in situ leaching of rare metals, in which the joint filtration of two liquids is governed by the microscopic model $\mathbb{A}^{\varepsilon}$. A key difficulty is the unknown (free) boundary $\Gamma(r)$…
Let $g$ be locally homogeneous (LH) Riemannian metric on a differentiable compact manifold $M$, and $K$ be a compact Lie group endowed with an $\mathrm {ad}$-invariant inner product on its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{k}$. A connection $A$ on a…
While quasi-two-dimensional (layered) materials can be highly anisotropic, their asymptotic long-distance behavior generally reflects the properties of a fully three dimensional phase of matter. However, certain topologically ordered…
We characterized the structural and dynamical properties of the quasi-liquid layer (QLL) at the surface of ice by molecular dynamics simulations with a thermodynamically consistent water model. Our simulations show that for three low-index…
The search for local structures within a disordered medium has led to proposals of several methods for probing transient short-range symmetry in a homogeneous mono-atomic liquid. We offer a comparison of different characterizations of such…
We study fluids of hard rods in the vicinity of hard spherical and cylindrical surfaces at densities below the isotropic-nematic transition. The Onsager second virial approximation is applied, which is known to yield exact results for the…
This paper provides a quantitative study of nonnegative solutions to nonlinear diffusion equations of porous medium-type of the form $\partial_t u + {\mathcal L}u^m=0$, $m>1$, where the operator ${\mathcal L}$ belongs to a general class of…
Liquid-gas phase coexistence in a boundary-driven diffusive system is studied by analyzing fluctuating hydrodynamics of a density field defined on a one-dimensional lattice with a space interval $\Lambda$. When an interface width $\ell$ is…
One-dimensional disordered systems with a random potential of a small amplitude and short-range correlations are considered near the initial band edge. The evolution equation is obtained for the mutual ditribution P(\rho,\psi) of the…
We study the free boundary of solutions to the parabolic obstacle problem with fully nonlinear diffusion. We show that the free boundary splits into a regular and a singular part: near regular points the free boundary is $C^\infty$ in space…
An I-surface $X$ is a surface of general type with $K_X^2 =1$ and $p_g(X) =2$. This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the period map for I-surfaces acquiring simple elliptic singularities. First we describe the relationship between…
We consider a mathematical model that describes the flow of a Nematic Liquid Crystal (NLC) film placed on a flat substrate, across which a spatially-varying electric potential is applied. Due to their polar nature, NLC molecules interact…
For a family of systems of linear elasticity with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, we establish sharp boundary estimates with either Dirichlet or Neumann conditions, uniform down to the microscopic scale, without smoothness…
We use a lattice model of a ternary mixture containing saturated and unsaturated lipids with cholesterol (Chol), to study the structural properties characterizing the coexistence between the liquid-disordered and liquid-ordered phases.…
Linearly-sloped or `ramp' potentials belong to a class of core-softened models which possess a liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) in addition to the usual liquid-gas critical point. Furthermore they exhibit thermodynamic anomalies in the…
Thin solids often develop elastic instabilities and subsequently complex, multiscale deformation patterns. Revealing the organizing principles of this spatial complexity has ramifications for our understanding of morphogenetic processes in…
In this paper, the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a monotone problem posed in a locally periodic oscillating domain is studied. Nonlinear monotone boundary conditions are imposed on the oscillating part of the boundary whereas the…
We consider two-layers of immiscible liquids confined between an upper and a lower rigid plate. The dynamics of the free liquid-liquid interface is described for arbitrary amplitudes by a single evolution equation derived from the basic…
We give a method for taking microscopic limits of normal matrix ensembles. We apply this method to study the behaviour near certain types of singular points on the boundary of the droplet. Our investigation includes ensembles without…
