Bioinspired Mechanisms and Actuation of Soft Robotic Crawlers. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Researchers have been developing soft materials and robotic crawlers inspired by soft‐bodied animals to mimic effective crawling in complex environments. This review explores the state‐of‐the‐art in soft crawlers, highlighting the interaction between materials, crawling mechanisms, actuation, and applications. The review concludes by providing insights

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The leading‐order asymptotic behavior of the solution of the Cauchy initial‐value problem for the Benjamin–Ono equation in L2(R)$L^2(\mathbb {R})$ is obtained explicitly for generic rational initial data u0$u_0$. An explicit asymptotic wave profile uZD(t,x;ε)$u^\mathrm{ZD}(t,x;\epsilon)$ is given, in terms of the branches of the multivalued ...

Stability of Viscous Three‐Dimensional Stratified Couette Flow via Dispersion and Mixing
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article explores the stability of stratified Couette flow in the viscous 3d$3d$ Boussinesq equations. In this system, mixing effects arise from the shearing background, and gravity acts as a restoring force leading to dispersive internal gravity waves.

Subspace Acceleration for Efficient Nonlinear Water Wave Simulation
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.We introduce an exponentially weighted subspace acceleration technique to reduce GMRES iterations for solving the Poisson equation with time‐dependent coefficients in nonlinear, dispersive free‐surface flows governed by the incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations. The method significantly reduces memory requirements and computational complexity compared

Global weak solutions for the compressible Poisson–Nernst–Planck–Navier–Stokes system
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We consider the compressible Poisson–Nernst–Planck–Navier–Stokes (PNPNS) system of equations, governing the transport of charged particles under the influence of the self‐consistent electrostatic potential, in a three‐dimensional bounded domain.

Impact of small‐scale gravity waves on tracer transport
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.We extend a gravity wave (GW) parametrization to calculate the tracer transport due to the GW–Stokes drift and next‐order effects, where the approach is validated by comparing coarse‐resolution simulations with parametrized GWs to high‐resolution, wave‐resolving reference simulations.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Monthly mean reanalysis from assimilating global ocean circulation models spanning 27 years is used to study subsurface secondary acoustic ducts, which provide waveguides for the transmission of mid‐frequency sound. A systematic diagnosis of secondary ducts from monthly mean temperature and salinity fields characterizes their distribution and ...

Interaction of Ocean Currents and Seamounts: Near‐Bottom Dynamics Around Atlantis II
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract This work investigates through a modeling exercise the interaction of a strong, surface current with isolated seamounts, focusing on the Gulf Stream and Atlantis II, one of the New England Seamounts. The roles of bathymetric details and model resolution are investigated with three simulations that consider realistic realizations of the ...

Vortex Line Density in a Superfluid Turbulent Wake in the Zero Temperature Limit
Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 1, January 2026.The quasiclassical conjecture for quantum turbulence in a pure superfluid straightforwardly leads to the definition of the superfluid Reynolds number, Res=ud/κ$Re_s=ud/\kappa$, and suggests that the effective quantum viscosity should be of the order of the circulation quantum κ$\kappa$.
