The background method is adapted to derive rigorous limits on surface speeds and bulk energy dissipation for shear stress driven flow in two and three dimensional channels. By-products of the analysis are nonlinear energy stability results…

We consider a gradient flow related to the mean field type equation. First, we show that this flow exists for all time. Next, we prove a compactness result for this flow allowing us to get, under suitable hypothesis on its energy, the…

The relation of a scalar field with a perfect fluid has generated some debate along the last few years. In this paper we argue that shift-invariant scalar fields can describe accurately the potential flow of an isentropic perfect fluid,…

We formulate a coupled surface/subsurface flow model that relies on hydrostatic equations with free surface in the free flow domain and on the Darcy model in the subsurface part. The model is discretized using the local discontinuous…

Variational formulations for viscous flows which lead to the Navier-Stokes equation are examined. Since viscosity leads to dissipation and, therefore, to the irreversible transfer of mechanical energy to heat, thermal degrees of freedom…

A finite-element algorithm for computing free-surface flows driven by arbitrary body forces is presented. The algorithm is primarily designed for the microfluidic parameter range where (i) the Reynolds number is small and (ii) force-driven…

Dense granular flows are often unstable and form inhomogeneous structures. Although significant advances have been recently made in understanding simple flows, instabilities of such flows are often not understood. We present experimental…

We consider a thin film limit of a Landau-de Gennes Q-tensor model. In the limiting process we observe a continuous transition where the normal and tangential parts of the Q-tensor decouple and various intrinsic and extrinsic contributions…

Assuming a-priori a smooth generating vector field, we introduce a generally covariant measure of the flow geometry called the referential gradient of the flow. The main result is the explicit relation between the referential gradient and…

Before proving (unconditional) energy stability for gradient flows, most existing studies either require a strong Lipschitz condition regarding the non-linearity or certain $L^{\infty}$ bounds on the numerical solutions (the maximum…

We derive a Cartesian componentwise description of the covariant derivative of tangential tensor fields of any degree on general manifolds. This allows to reformulate any vector- and tensor-valued surface PDE in a form suitable to be solved…

Thermal gradients lead to macroscopic fluid motion if a confining surface is present along the gradient. This fundamental nonequilibrium effect, known as thermo-osmosis, is held responsible for particle thermophoresis in colloidal…

This paper provides a formulation of the log-homotopy particle flow from the perspective of variational inference. We show that the transient density used to derive the particle flow follows a time-scaled trajectory of the Fisher-Rao…

In our previous work [J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{136}, 024502 (2012)], we reported a demixing phase transition of a two-dimensional, binary Heisenberg fluid mixture driven by the ferromagnetic interactions of the magnetic species. Here, we…

Motivated by the occurrence in rate functions of time-dependent large-deviation principles, we study a class of non-negative functions $\mathscr L$ that induce a flow, given by $\mathscr L(\rho_t,\dot\rho_t)=0$. We derive necessary and…

Flows on surfaces are one of the most fundamental and classical objects in dynamical systems, and are studied from various areas (e.g. integrable systems, differential equations, fluid mechanics). Though hyperbolic flows and recurrent flows…

We consider the evolution of an incompressible two-dimensional perfect fluid as the boundary of its domain is deformed in a prescribed fashion. The flow is taken to be initially steady, and the boundary deformation is assumed to be slow…

Functionals that penalize bending or stretching of a surface play a key role in geometric and scientific computing, but to date have ignored a very basic requirement: in many situations, surfaces must not pass through themselves or each…

We consider a system consisting of a geometric evolution equation for a hypersurface and a parabolic equation on this evolving hypersurface. More precisely, we discuss mean curvature flow scaled with a term that depends on a quantity…

The flow of the laminar boundary layer on a flat plate is studied with simulation of Navier-Stokes equations. The mechanisms of flow instability at external edge of the boundary layer and near the wall are analyzed using the energy gradient…
