We study diffusive mixing in the presence of thermal fluctuations under the assumption of large Schmidt number. In this regime we obtain a limiting equation that contains a diffusive thermal drift term with diffusion coefficient obeying a…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a very fast diffusion PDE in 1D with periodic boundary conditions. This equation is motivated by the gradient flow approach to the problem of quantization of measures introduced in…

In this paper, we propose a PDE-based optimization motivated by the problem of microfluidic heat transfer to finding the optimal incompressible velocity fields in 2D domain. To solve this optimization model, we use spectral method to…

The convergence to non-diffusive self-similar solutions is investigated for non-negative solutions to the Cauchy problem $\partial_t u = \Delta_p u + |\nabla u|^q$ when the initial data converge to zero at infinity. Sufficient conditions on…

The advection of a passive scalar by a quenched (frozen) incompressible velocity field is studied by extensive high precision numerical simulation and various approximation schemes. We show that second order self consistent perturbation…

Fluid mixing usually involves the interplay between advection and diffusion, which together cause any initial distribution of passive scalar to homogenize and ultimately reach a uniform state. However, this scenario only holds when the…

The asymptotic derivation of a new family of one-dimensional, weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive equations that model the flow of an ideal fluid in an elastic vessel is presented. Dissipative effects due to the viscous nature of the…

We investigate blow-up phenomena for positive solutions of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations including a nonlinear convection term $\partial_t u = \Delta u - g(u) \cdot \nabla u + f(u)$ in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$ under the…

We report on recent progress in the study of nonlinear diffusion equations involving nonlocal, long-range diffusion effects. Our main concern is the so-called fractional porous medium equation, $\partial_t u +(-\Delta)^{s}(u^m)=0$, and some…

We show that any entropy solution $u$ of a convection diffusion equation $\partial_t u + \div F(u)-\Delta\phi(u) =b$ in $\OT$ belongs to $C([0,T),L^1_{Loc}(\o\O))$. The proof does not use the uniqueness of the solution.

A microscopic model able to describe simultaneously the dynamic viscosity and the self-diffusion coefficient of fluids is presented. This model is shown to emerge from the introduction of fractional calculus in a usual model of condensed…

We propose a new methodology for the experimental measurement of the Onsager coefficients of porous media flows by application of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The experimental setup consists of a steady-state flow condition in which…

We consider solutions to the 2d Navier-Stokes equations on $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}$ close to the Poiseuille flow, with small viscosity $\nu>0$. Our first result concerns a semigroup estimate for the linearized problem. Here we show that…

In this article, we investigate the blow-up behavior of solutions to the one-dimensional damped nonlinear wave equation, namely $$ \partial_t^2 u - \partial_x^2 u + \frac{\mu}{1 + t} \partial_t u = |\partial_t u|^p \quad (p > 1). $$ Under…

Spreading of bacteria in a highly advective, disordered environment is examined. Predictions of super-diffusive spreading for a simplified reaction-diffusion equation are tested. Concentration profiles display anomalous growth and…

In this work, we perform a phenomenological derivation of the first- and second-order relativistic hydrodynamics of dissipative fluids. To set the stage, we start with a review of the ideal relativistic hydrodynamics from energy-momentum…

We study the minimal speed of propagating fronts of convection reaction diffusion equations of the form $u_t + \mu \phi(u) u_x = u_{xx} +f(u)$ for positive reaction terms with $f'(0 >0$. The function $\phi(u)$ is continuous and vanishes at…

We develop a flux-conservative formalism for a Newtonian multi-fluid system, including dissipation and entrainment (i.e. allowing the momentum of one fluid to be a linear combination of the velocities of all fluids). Maximum use is made of…

Differential elliptic flow (v_2) for phi mesons and (anti)deuterons (d^bar)d is measured for Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The v_2 for phi mesons follows the trend of lighter pi^+/- and K^+/- mesons, suggesting that ordinary…

We solve the set of hydrodynamic (HD) equations for optically thin Advection Dominated Accretion Flows (ADAFs) by assuming radially self-similar in spherical coordinate system $ (r, \theta, \phi) $. The disk is considered to be steady state…
