We study the emergence of critical dynamics in the steady shear rheology of fluidized soft glassy materials. Within a mesoscale elasto-plastic model accounting for a shear band instability, we show how an additional noise can induce a…
As an experimental model to mimic the flow of bio-fluids in the cell and the flow in tiny blood capillaries, we study the co-moving shear flow of dilute polymeric solutions. An inflection point shear flow profile is created by parallel…
In this paper we study the elastic response of synthetic hydrogels to an applied shear stress. The hydrogels studied here have previously been shown to mimic the behaviour of biopolymer networks when they are sufficiently far above the gel…
Recent studies of pressure-driven flows of dilute polymer solutions in straight channels demonstrated the existence of two-dimensional coherent structures that are disconnected from the laminar state and appear through a sub-critical…
The equations of electrostatic drift kinetics are observed to possess a symmetry associated with their intrinsic scale invariance. Under the assumptions of spatial periodicity, stationarity, and locality, this symmetry implies a particular…
We derive a theoretical model for the Rayleigh-Taylor (RT)-like instability for a thin foil accelerated by an intense laser, taking into account finite wavelength effects in the laser wave field. The latter leads to the diffraction of the…
Planetary turbulent flows are observed to self-organize into large scale structures such as zonal jets and coherent vortices. One of the simplest models of planetary turbulence is obtained by considering a barotropic flow on a beta-plane…
Several simulations of turbulence in the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) [W. Gekelman et al., Rev. Sci. Inst. 62, 2875 (1991)] are energetically analyzed and compared with each other and with the experiment. The simulations use the same model,…
This paper experimentally investigates the convection in a fast rotating Tangent Cylinder (TC), for Ekman numbers down to $E=3.36\times10^{-6}$, in a configuration relevant to the liquid core of the Earth. In the apparatus, the TC results…
We establish a link between vorticity wave interaction and $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking in shear flow instabilities. The minimal dynamical system for two coupled counter-propagating vorticity waves is shown to be a non-Hermitian system…
In this paper, the instability of shallow water shear flow with a sheared parallel magnetic field is studied. Waves propagating in such magnetic shear flows encounter critical levels where the phase velocity relative to the basic flow…
We analyze the behavior of different elastoplastic models approaching the yielding transition. We propose two kind of rules for the local yielding events: yielding occurs above the local threshold either at a constant rate or with a rate…
We present predictions for the flow of elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluids in the 4 to 1 planar contraction geometry. The Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley fluid model is solved via the finite-volume method with the OpenFOAM software. Both the…
Flows in fluid layers are ubiquitous in industry, geophysics and astrophysics. Large-scale flows in thin layers can be considered two-dimensional (2d) with bottom friction added. Here we find that the properties of such flows depend…
We investigate the stress-driven morphological instability of epitaxially growing multilayer films, which are coherent and dislocation-free. We construct a direct elastic analysis, from which we determine the elastic state of the system…
We investigate spatio-temporal structures in sheared polymer systems by solving a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model in two dimensions. (i) In polymer solutions above the coexistence curve, crossover from linear to nonlinear regimes…
A three-layer asymptotic structure for turbulent pipe flow is proposed, revealing in terms of intermediate variables, the existence of a Reynolds-number invariant logarithmic region. It provides a theoretical foundation for addressing…
Upon decreasing the Reynolds number, plane Couette flow first forms alternately turbulent and laminar oblique bands out of featureless turbulence below some upper threshold R_t. These bands exist down to a global stability threshold R_g…
We use nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to verify recent tube-model predictions that associative polymer networks exhibit broad stretch fluctuations during elongational flow. Simulations further show that these fluctuating…
Subcritical transition to turbulence, in which the laminar state is linearly stable yet finite-amplitude perturbations develop into turbulence, is ubiquitous but lacks a simple analytical framework. We demonstrate such a framework using a…
