How Fluid Pseudoplasticity and Elasticity Affect Propeller Flows in Biogas Fermenters
The effects of shear‐thinning and elastic rheology on propeller flows in biogas fermenters is examined via computational fluid dynamic simulations. Elastic normal stresses increase pumping rates in the laminar regime and suppress the formation of axial propeller jets. The results indicate that elasticity is critical for an accurate modeling of flows of

A Perspective on Non‐Local Electronic Transport in Metals: Viscous, Ballistic, and Beyond
Over the last decade, materials and technique developments have enabled a host of measurements of electronic transport on length scales shorter than the electronic mean free path. The conceptual framework for understanding these measurements is only now catching up to this rapid experimental progress. This article highlights some conceptual issues that

Asymptotic stability for the Couette flow in the 2D Euler equations
In this expository note we discuss our recent work [arXiv:1306.5028] on the nonlinear asymptotic stability of shear flows in the 2D Euler equations of ideal, incompressible flow.

A note on “Taylor–Couette flow of a generalized second grade fluid due to a constant couple”
In this brief note, we show that the unsteady flow of a generalized second grade fluid due to a constant couple, as well as the similar flow of Newtonian and ordinary second grade fluids, ultimately becomes steady.

Superstatistical Brownian motion
As a main example for the superstatistics approach, we study a Brownian particle moving in a d-dimensional inhomogeneous environment with macroscopic temperature fluctuations. We discuss the average occupation time of the particle in spatial cells with a

Taylor dispersion and phase mixing in the non‐cutoff Boltzmann equation on the whole space
Abstract In this paper we describe the long‐time behavior of the non‐cutoff Boltzmann equation with soft potentials near a global Maxwellian background on the whole space in the weakly collisional limit (that is, infinite Knudsen number 1/ν→∞$1/\nu \rightarrow \infty$). Specifically, we prove that for initial data sufficiently small (independent of the

About the oscillatory possibilities of the dynamical systems
This paper attempts to make feasible the evolutionary emergence of novelty in a supposedly deterministic world which behavior is associated with those of the mathematical dynamical systems. The work was motivated by the observation of complex oscillatory

Bringing Statistics to Storylines: Rare Event Sampling for Sudden, Transient Extreme Events
Abstract A leading goal for climate science and weather risk management is to accurately model both the physics and statistics of extreme events. These two goals are fundamentally at odds: the higher a computational model's resolution, the more expensive are the ensembles needed to capture accurate statistics in the tail of the distribution.

Transition to turbulence in wall-bounded flows: Where do we stand?
In this essay, we recall the specificities of the transition to turbulence in wall-bounded flows and present recent achievements in the understanding of this problem.
