Understanding the role of self-propulsion on the conformational properties of active filamentous objects has relevance in biology. In this context, we consider a flexible bead-spring model polymer for which along with both attractive and…
We study analytically a continuum model for phase-separation in binary polymer blends based on the Flory-Huggins-De Gennes free energy, by means of the self-consistent large-$n$ limit approach. The model is solved for values of the…
We study self-similar solutions of a multi-phase Stefan problem for a heat equation on the half-line $x>0$ with a constant initial data and with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. In the case of Dirichlet boundary condition we prove…
The non-equilibrium structural and dynamical properties of a flexible polymer tethered to a reflecting wall and subject to oscillatory linear flow are studied by numerical simulations. Polymer is confined in two dimensions and is modeled as…
We consider a class of nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equations in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$ $(d\in\{2,3\})$, subject to a nonlocal kinetic rate dependent dynamic boundary condition. This diffuse interface model describes phase…
In the setting of continuum elasticity, phase transformations involving martensitic variants are modeled by a free energy density function that is non-convex in strain space. Here, we adopt an existing mathematical model in which we…
Using Langevin dynamics complemented by Wang-Landau Monte Carlo simulations, we study the phase behavior of single and multiple semiflexible polymer chains in solution under poor-solvent conditions. In the case of a single chain, we obtain…
We consider a parameter dependent family of damped hyperbolic equations with interesting limit behavior: the system approaches steady states exponentially fast and for parameter to zero the solutions converge to that of a parabolic limit…
The existence of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system describing the stationary states of a compressible, viscous, and heat conducting fluid in bounded 2D-domains is shown under fairly general and physically relevant…
We study the bead-spring model for a polymerized phantom membrane in the overdamped limit, which is the two-dimensional generalization of the well-known Rouse model for polymers. We derive the {\it exact} eigenmodes of the membrane dynamics…
A weak formulation for a class of parabolic free boundary problems (FBP) is proposed that does not involve the notion of a free boundary but reduces to a FBP when classical solutions exist. It is aimed at hydrodynamic limits (HDL) of…
The modeling of cracks has been an intensely researched topic for decades - both from the mechanical as well as from the mathematics point of view. As far as the modeling of sharp cracks/interfaces is concerned, the resulting free boundary…
In this volume a theory for models of transport in the presence of a free boundary is developed. Macroscopic laws of transport are described by PDEs. When the system is open, there are several mechanisms to couple the system with the…
We study a phase field model proposed recently in the context of tumour growth. The model couples a Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman (CHB) system with a elliptic reaction-diffusion equation for a nutrient. The fluid velocity, governed by the Brinkman…
The present contribution investigates the well-posedness of a PDE system describing the evolution of a nematic liquid crystal flow under kinematic transports for molecules of different shapes. More in particular, the evolution of the {\em…
We study the energy distribution during the emergence of a quasi-equilibrium (QE) state in the course of relaxation to equipartition in slow-fast Hamiltonian systems. A bead-spring model where beads (masses) are connected by springs is…
The steady compressible Navier--Stokes--Fourier system is considered, with either Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions for the velocity and the heat flux on the boundary proportional to the difference of the temperature inside and…
We consider a nonlinear, free boundary fluid-structure interaction model in a bounded domain. The viscous incompressible fluid interacts with a nonlinear elastic body on the common boundary via the velocity and stress matching conditions.…
Semiflexible polymers in poor solvents exhibit a rich variety of collapsed morphologies, including globules, toroids, and rodlike bundles, arising from the competition between attractive interactions and chain stiffness. Computer…
The paper concerns boundary value problems for general nonautonomous first order quasilinear hyperbolic systems in a strip. We construct small global classical solutions, assuming that the right hand sides are small. In the case that all…
