A method is presented to solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations with arbitrary distributions of vortices. The real-space Green's function approach based on Chebyshev polynomials is complemented by a gauge transformation which allows one…
Vortices are screw phase dislocations associated with helicoidal wave-fronts. In nonlinear optics, vortices arise as singular solutions to the phase-intensity equations of geometric optics. They exist for a general class of nonlinear…
The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM), e.g. in [ 1] and [2 ], can be interpreted as an alternative method for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Consequently, although the LBM is usually applied to solve fluid flows, the…
The Abelian Higgs model with or without external particles is considered in curved space. Using the dual transformation, we rewrite the model in terms of dual gauge fields and derive the Bogomol'nyi-type bound. We examine cylindrically…
This thesis deals with shape optimization for contact mechanics. More specifically, the linear elasticity model is considered under the small deformations hypothesis, and the elastic body is assumed to be in contact (sliding or with Tresca…
Fabrication of custom-built heterostructures based on stacked 2D materials provides an effective method to controllably tune electronic and optical properties. To that end, optimizing fabrication techniques for building these…
We show that a vortex matter, that is a dense assembly of vortices in an incompressible two-dimensional flow, such as a fast rotating superfluid or turbulent flows with sign-like eddies, exhibits (i) a boundary layer of vorticity (vorticity…
A popular model for a generic fat-cored vortex ring or eddy is Hill's spherical vortex (Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. A vol. 185, 1894, p. 213). Here we find an exact solution for such a spherical vortex steadily propagating along the axis of a…
This work focuses on steady and unsteady Navier-Stokes equations in a reduced order modeling framework. The methodology proposed is based on a Proper Orthogonal Decomposition within a levelset geometry description and the problems of…
We consider a linearized inverse scattering problem for elastic waves. We prove that a fully anisotropic perturbation of the elastic parameters around an isotropic and homogeneous reference can be uniquely determined by (single-)scattered…
We propose an approach to measure surface elastic constants of soft solids. Generally, this requires one to probe interfacial mechanics at around the elastocapillary length scale, which is typically microscopic. Deformations of microscopic…
Thin nematic elastomers, composite hydrogels and plant tissues are among many systems that display uniform anisotropic deformation upon external actuation. In these materials, the spatial orientation variation of a local director field…
This paper studies a shape optimization problem which reduces to a nonlocal free boundary problem involving perimeter. It is motivated by a study of liquid crystal droplets with a tangential anchoring boundary condition and a volume…
A simplified, pseudoplastic rheology characterized by constant viscosity plateaus above and below a transition strain rate is applied to axisymmetric, gravitationally driven spreading of a thin fluid film with constant volume flux source in…
Topological defects are ubiquitous on surfaces with orientational order fields. Here, we study equilibrium states generated by the feedback between geometry and nematic order on fluid membranes with an integer topological defect. When the…
A {\it wrinkled embedding} $f:V^n\to W^m$ is a topological embedding which is a smooth embedding everywhere on $V$ except a set of $(n-1)$-dimensional spheres, where $f$ has cuspidal corners. In this paper we prove that any rotation of the…
Trapped surface waves have been observed in a swimming pool trapped by, and rotating around, the cores of vortices. To investigate this effect, we have numerically studied the free-surface response of a Lamb--Oseen vortex to small…
Topological defects in crystalline lattices are considered. In relation to physical realizability of such defects, criteria for geometric compatibility of the lattice distortions are formulated. For 2D lattices it is shown that the answer…
We study steady axisymmetric water waves with general vorticity and swirl, subject to the influence of surface tension. This can be formulated as an elliptic free boundary problem in terms of Stokes' stream function. A change of variables…
In this work, we are concerned with the spherical quasiconformal parameterization of genus-0 closed surfaces. Given a genus-0 closed triangulated surface and an arbitrary user-defined quasiconformal distortion, we propose a fast algorithm…
