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…
Stability of inviscid shear shallow water flows with free surface is studied in the framework of the Benney equations. This is done by investigating the generalized hyperbolicity of the integrodifferential Benney system of equations. It is…
Many dynamical interactions can induce eccentricities in astrophysical accretion disks. Disk eccentricities in turn seed a variety of instabilities, even in ideal hydrodynamics. We use 3D nonlinear simulations and 2+1D linear calculations…
We consider the dielectric breakdown model in the limit $\eta\to 0^+$. A differential equation describing the surface growth is derived; this equation is KPZ plus a term causing linear instability, and includes a short-distance…
In this paper, we consider certain partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms with center of arbitrary dimension and obtain continuity properties of the topological entropy under $C^1$ perturbations. The systems considered have subexponential…
Aims. Qualitative analysis of key (but yet unappreciated) linear phenomena in stratified hydrodynamic Keplerian flows: (i) the occurrence of a vortex mode, as a consequence of strato-rotational balance, with its transient dynamics; (ii) the…
Topological invariants have proved useful for analyzing emergent function as they characterize a property of the entire system, and are insensitive to local details, disorder, and noise. They support boundary states, which reduce the system…
The dynamics of small-scale structures in free-surface turbulence is crucial to large-scale phenomena in natural and industrial environments. Here we conduct experiments on the quasi-flat free surface of a zero-mean-flow turbulent water…
We discuss the possibility that astrophysical accretion disks are dynamically unstable to non-axisymmetric disturbances with characteristic scales much smaller than the vertical scale height. The instability is studied using three methods:…
The topological dynamics of the horocyclic flow $h_{\mathbb{R}}$ on the unit tangent bundle of a geometrically finite hyperbolic surface is well known. In particular, on such a surface, the flow $h_{\mathbb{R}}$ is minimal, or the minimal…
We develop a theory for thermodynamic instabilities of complex fluids composed of many interacting chemical species organised in families. This model includes partially structured and partially random interactions and can be solved exactly…
The evolution of an instability at the interface of active and passive media is considered. An asymptotic form of a collision integral is found and the limitations of hydrodynamic approach are determined. A growth increment of small…
We present a hydrodynamic model of spreading epithelial monolayers as polar viscous fluids, with active contractility and traction on the substrate. The combination of both active forces generate an instability that leads to nonlinear…
The linear dynamics and instability mechanisms of double-layered weakly viscoelastic fluid flowing over an inclined plane are analyzed in the presence of insoluble surfactant at both the free surface and interface. The constitutive equation…
A combination of methods originating from non-stationary timeseries analysis is applied to two datasets of near surface turbulence in order to gain insights on the non-stationary enhancement mechanism of intermittent turbulence in the…
The ergodic properties of two uncoupled oscillators, a horizontal and vertical one, residing in a class of non rectangular star-shaped polygons with only vertical and horizontal boundaries and impacting elastically from its boundaries are…
Eccentric Keplerian discs are believed to be unstable to three-dimensional hydrodynamical instabilities driven by the time-dependence of fluid properties around an orbit. These instabilities could lead to small-scale turbulence, and…
Topological entropy is not lower semi-continous: small perturbation of the dynamical system can lead to a collapse of entropy. In this note we show that for some special classes of dynamical systems (geodesic flows, Reeb flows, positive…
Intuitively, slow droplets stick to a surface and faster droplets splash or bounce. However, recent work suggests that on non-wetting surfaces, whether microdroplets stick or bounce depends only on their size and fluid properties, but not…
This report investigates the dynamical stability conjectures of Palis and Smale, and Pugh and Shub from the standpoint of numerical observation and lays the foundation for a stability conjecture. As the dimension of a dissipative dynamical…
