In this paper we study a problem in oscillations wherein the assumed modes method offers some analytical and theoretical peculiarities. Specifically, we study small in-plane oscillations of a slack catenary, or a sagging inextensible chain…
Passive scalar transport in a spatially-extended background of roll convection is considered in the time-periodic regime. The latter arises due to the even oscillatory instability of the cell lateral boundary, here accounted for by…
Complex fluids in shear flow and biased dynamics in crowded environments exhibit counterintuitive features which are difficult to address both at theoretical level and by molecular dynamic simulations. To understand some of these features…
We deduce almost-sure exponentially fast mixing of passive scalars advected by solutions of the stochastically-forced 2D Navier-Stokes equations and 3D hyper-viscous Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb T^d$ subjected to non-denegenerate…
Using high-fidelity numerical simulations based on a lattice Boltzmann framework, the advection-enhanced transport of a passive scalar from a prolate spheroid in simple shear flow has been thoroughly investigated across various parameters,…
We propose a novel approach to induce anomalous dissipation through advection driven by turbulent fluid flows. Specifically, we establish the existence of a velocity field $v$ satisfying randomly forced Navier-Stokes equations, leading to…
The anomalous scaling behavior of the n-th order correlation functions $F_n$ of the Kraichnan model of turbulent passive scalar advection is believed to be dominated by the homogeneous solutions (zero-modes) of the Kraichnan equation…
Modeling collective motion in non-conservative systems, such as granular materials, is difficult since a general microscopic-to-macroscopic approach is not available: there is no Hamiltonian, no known stationary densities in phase space,…
Non-spherical particles transported by an anisotropic turbulent flow preferentially align with the mean shear and intermittently tumble when the local strain fluctuates. Such an intricate behaviour is here studied for inertialess,…
In this work, we investigate the large-scale transport properties of a passive scalar advected by a turbulent fluid, modelled as a superposition of divergence-free vector fields, each weighted by an independent symmetric…
We study the statistical properties of passive tracer transport in turbulent flows with a mean gradient, emphasizing tracer intermittency and extreme events. An analytically tractable model is developed, coupling zonal and shear velocity…
Surface quasi geostrophy (SQG) describes the two-dimensional active transport of a temperature field in a strongly stratified and rotating environment. Besides its relevance to geophysics, SQG bears formal resemblance with various flows of…
In this paper we define the notion of slow divergence integral along sliding segments in regularized planar piecewise smooth systems. The boundary of such segments may contain diverse tangency points. We show that the slow divergence…
We perform a general analysis of the dynamic structure of two classes of relativistic lagrangian field theories exhibiting static spherically symmetric non-topological soliton solutions. The analysis is concerned with (multi-) scalar fields…
Lagrangian tracer particle trajectories for invariant solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations confined to the three-dimensional geometry of plane Couette flow are studied. Treating the Eulerian velocity field of an invariant solution as a…
Introductory lectures on the Kraichnan model of passive advection
A new phenomenological model of turbulent fluctuations is constructed by considering the Lagrangian dynamics of 4 points (the tetrad). The closure of the equations of motion is achieved by postulating an anisotropic, i.e. tetrad shape…
In this paper, we consider a stochastic version of the Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman model in a smooth two- or three-dimensional domain with dynamical boundary conditions. The system describes creeping two-phase flows and is basically a coupling…
The study of passive scalar transport in a turbulent velocity field leads naturally to the notion of generalized flows which are families of probability distributions on the space of solutions to the associated ODEs, which no longer satisfy…
The problem of the effects of compressibility and large-scale anisotropy on anomalous scaling behavior is considered for two models describing passive advection of scalar density and tracer fields. The advecting velocity field is Gaussian,…
