This study investigates the asymptotic dynamics of solutions to the Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation, with a specific focus on ship roll stability in dynamic sea conditions. Utilizing a fourth-order filter, we conduct a thorough…
We study the rotational dynamics of a flexible polymer initially wrapped around a rigid rod and unwinding from it. This dynamics is of interest in several problems in biology and constitutes a fundamental instance of polymer relaxation from…
Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the translocation of a polymer into and out of a ellipsoidal cavity through a narrow pore. We measure the polymer free energy F as a function of a translocation coordinate, s, defined to be the…
Exact relaxation times and eigenfunctions for a simple mechanical model of polymer dynamics are obtained using supersymmetry methods of quantum mechanics. The model includes the finite extensibility of the molecule and does not make use of…
The Fokker-Planck (FP) equation governs the evolution of densities for stochastic dynamics of physical systems, such as the Langevin dynamics and the Lorenz system. This work simulates FP equations through a mean field control (MFC)…
Using the phase-space formulation of quantum mechanics, we derive a four-component Wigner equation for a system composed of spin-1/2 fermions (typically, electrons) including the Zeeman effect and the spin-orbit coupling. This Wigner…
Polymer solutions are frequently used in enhanced oil recovery and groundwater remediation to improve the recovery of trapped non-aqueous fluids. However, applications are limited by an incomplete understanding of the flow in porous media.…
We consider the active Brownian particle (ABP) model for a two-dimensional microswimmer with fixed speed, whose direction of swimming changes according to a Brownian process. The probability density for the swimmer evolves according to a…
In this study, we investigate the transition between the Newtonian and the viscoelastic regimes during the pinch-off of droplets of dilute polymer solutions and discuss its link to the coil-stretch transition. The detachment of a drop from…
Polymer stretching in random smooth flows is investigated within the framework of the FENE dumbbell model. The advecting flow is Gaussian and short-correlated in time. The stationary probability density function of polymer extension is…
We propose a new semi-discretization scheme to approximate nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, by exploiting the gradient flow structures with respect to the 2-Wasserstein metric. We discretize the underlying state by a finite graph and…
We present a hybrid computational method for simulating the dynamics of macromolecules in solution which couples a mesoscale solver for the fluctuating hydrodynamics (FH) equations with molecular dynamics to describe the macromolecule. The…
We address the numerical challenge of solving the Hookean-type time-fractional Navier--Stokes--Fokker--Planck equation, a history-dependent system of PDEs defined on the Cartesian product of two $d$-dimensional spaces in the turbulent…
Dynamic Flows were introduced by Ford and Fulkerson in 1958 to model flows over time. They define edge capacities to be the total amount of flow that can enter an edge {\em in one time unit}. Each edge also has a length, representing the…
Considerable progress has recently been made with geometrical approaches to understanding and controlling small out-of-equilibrium systems, but a mathematically rigorous foundation for these methods has been lacking. Towards this end, we…
We revise the classical problem of characterizing first exit times of a harmonically trapped particle whose motion is described by one- or multi-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We start by recalling the main derivation steps of a…
We study several constrained variational problem in the 2-Wasserstein metric for which the set of probability densities satisfying the constraint is not closed. For example, given a probability density $F_0$ on $\R^d$ and a time-step $h>0$,…
In this paper, we study the problem of shock reflection by a wedge, with the potential flow equation, which is a simplification of the Euler System. In the work of M. Feldman and G. Chen, the existence theory of shock reflection problems…
In this paper we identify the Fokker-Planck equation for (reflected) Sticky Brownian Motion as a Wasserstein gradient flow in the space of probability measures. The driving functional is the relative entropy with respect to a non-standard…
