We study mathematically a system of partial differential equations arising in the modelling of an aging fluid, a particular class of non Newtonian fluids. We prove well-posedness of the equations in appropriate functional spaces and…

We present a systematic derivation of the gradient flows associated to a broad class of interfacial energies, emphasizing the relation between intrinsic and extrinsic variations of the interface. We show that the intrinsic variables…

The effect of a step wise change in the pillar density on the dynamics of droplets is investigated via three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann simulations. For the same pillar density gradient but different pillar arrangements, both motion over…

A suitable expression for hydrodynamic impulse in a compressible fluid is deduced. The development of appropriate impulse formulation for compressible Euler equations confirms the propriety of the hydrodynamic impulse expression for a…

Some particular examples of classical and quantum systems on the lattice are solved with the help of orthogonal polynomials and its connection to continuous models are explored.

We introduce a gradient flow formulation of linear Boltzmann equations. Under a diffusive scaling we derive a diffusion equation by using the machinery of gradient flows.

Over the past decade the study of fluidic droplets bouncing and skipping (or ``walking'') on a vibrating fluid bath has gone from an interesting experiment to a vibrant research field. The field exhibits challenging fluids problems,…

The dynamics of dislocations in a two-dimensional vortex lattice is studied in the presence of a pinning potential and a transport current. In a vortex lattice drifting with velocity $v$ a glide velocity $V_d$ of the dislocation with…

A variational principle is derived for two-dimensional incompressible rotational fluid flow with a free surface in a moving vessel when both the vessel and fluid motion are to be determined. The fluid is represented by a stream function and…

The complex interactions of localized vortices with waves is investigated using a model of point vortices in the presence of a transverse or longitudinal wave. This simple model shows a rich dynamical behavior including oscillations of a…

Vortex lattices -- highly ordered arrays of vortices -- are known to arise in quantum systems such as type II superconductors and Bose-Einstein condensates. More recently, similar arrangements have been reported in classical rotating…

The lattice dynamics of coesite has been studied by a combination of diffuse x-ray scattering, inelastic x-ray scattering and an ab initio lattice dynamics calculation. The combined technique gives access to the full lattice dynamics in…

This entry is aimed at describing cloud physics with an emphasis on fluid dynamics. As is inevitable for a review of an enormously complicated problem, it is highly selective and reflects of the authors' focus. The range of scales involved,…

We consider a stochastic version of the point vortex system, in which the fluid velocity advects single vortices intermittently for small random times. Such system converges to the deterministic point vortex dynamics as the rate at which…

This article is the first in a series of papers on the analysis of a basic model for fluid vesicle dynamics. There are two variants of this model, a parabolic one decribing purely relaxational dynamics and a non-parabolic one containing the…

Dynamics is central to living systems. In the last two decades, experiments have revealed that the dynamics in diverse biological systems - from intracellular cytoplasm to cellular and organismal aggregates - are remarkably similar to that…

In this note, we critically discuss the issue of the possible finiteness of the turbulence lifetime in subcritical transition to turbulence in shear flows, which attracted a lot of interest recently. We briefly review recent experimental…

For certain families of fluid flow, a new conserved quantity -- stream-helicity -- has been established.Using examples of linked and knotted streamtubes, it has been shown that stream-helicity does, in certain cases, entertain itself with a…

A phenomenological model for the dissipation of scalar fluctuations due to the straining by the fluid motion is proposed in this letter. An explicit equation is obtained for the time evolution of the probability distribution function of a…

Our fluid dynamics video shows the response of a layer of viscoelastic fluid to an array of four-roll mills steadily rotating underneath. When the relaxation time of the fluid is sufficiently long, the fluid divides into "cells" with a…
