A cantilever beam under axial flow, confined or not, is known to develop self-sustained oscillations at sufficiently large flow velocities. In recent decades, the analysis of this archetypal system has been mostly pursued under linearized…
We examine whether fluctuation-induced forces can lead to stable levitation. First, we analyze a collection of classical objects at finite temperature that contain fixed and mobile charges, and show that any arrangement in space is unstable…
We address the question of existence of nonconstant stable stationary solution to the heat equation on a class of convex domains subject to nonlinear boundary flux involving a positive parameter. Such solutions which were known to exist in…
We consider the onset of Boussinesq convection in a horizontal layer of electrically conducting incompressible fluid with rigid electrically insulating horizontal boundaries. The fluid is heated from below and rotates about a vertical axis;…
The simulation of natural convection problem based on the Galerkin finite-element method, with the penalty finite-element formulation of the momentum balance equation, is exploited for accurate solutions of equations describing the problem…
Context. The study of linear waves and instabilities is necessary to understand the physical evolution of an atmosphere, and can provide physical interpretation of the complex flows found in simulations performed using Global Circulation…
It was shown previously that the current-carrying state of a Field Effect Transistor with asymmetric source and drain boundary conditions may become unstable against spontaneous generation of plasma waves [1]. By extending the analysis to…
We consider the Boltzmann equation for a gas in a horizontal slab, subject to a gravitational force. The boundary conditions are of diffusive type, specifying the wall temperatures, so that the top temperature is lower than the bottom one…
We study linear damped and viscoelastic wave equations evolving on a bounded domain. For both models, we assume that waves are subject to an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition on a portion of the domain's boundary. The analysis of…
We investigate experimentally phenomenon of turbulent thermal diffusion of micron-size solid particles in an inhomogeneous convective turbulence forced by one vertically-oriented oscillating grid in an air flow. This effect causes formation…
We study the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a linear stationary convection-diffusion equation stated in an infinite cylinder, Neumann boundary condition being imposed on the boundary. We assume that the cylinder is a junction of…
Onset of double-component convection due to different boundary conditions is studied in a diversely oriented infinite slot with broken reflection symmetry between the slot conditions for a component. Among other outcomes, the broken…
Motivated by the redrawing of hot glass into thin sheets, we investigate the shape and stability of a thin viscous sheet that is inhomogeneously stretched in an imposed non-uniform temperature field. We first determine the associated base…
Convection in the metallic cores of terrestrial planets is likely to be subjected to lateral variations in heat flux through the outer boundary imposed by creeping flow in the overlying silicate mantles. Boundary anomalies can significantly…
We investigate the existence of invariant measures for self-stabilizing diffusions. These stochastic processes represent roughly the behavior of some Brownian particle moving in a double-well landscape and attracted by its own law. This…
A tube conveying a large amount of fluid with a free outlet does not sit still. We construct and analyze a nonlinear evolution equation describing such phenomena. Two types of boundary conditions at the inlet are considered, one for which…
The effect of uniform magnetic field applied along a fixed horizontal direction in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in low-Prandtl-number fluids has been studied using a low dimensional model. The model shows the onset of convection (primary…
We investigate simulated turbulent flow within thermally driven stellar convection zones. Different driving sources are studied, including cooling at the top of the convectively unstable region, as occurs in surface convection zones; and…
The diffusion of a solute from a concentrated source into a horizontal, stationary, fluid-saturated porous medium can lead to a convective motion when a gravitationally unstable density stratification evolves. In an inclined porous medium,…
The mean vertical heat transport $\langle wT \rangle$ in convection between isothermal plates driven by uniform internal heating is investigated by means of rigorous bounds. These are obtained as a function of the Rayleigh number $R$ by…
