Analogy between capillary motion and Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology

Build up of yield stress fluids via chaotic emulsification

Stabilized dense emulsions display a rich phenomenology connecting microstructure and rheology. In this work we study how an emulsion with a finite yield stress can be built via large-scale stirring. By gradually increasing the volume fraction of the dispersed minority phase, under the constant…

Hydrokinetic approach to large-scale cardiovascular blood flow

We present a computational method for commodity hardware-based clinical cardiovascular diagnosis based on accurate simulation of cardiovascular blood flow. Our approach leverages the flexibility of the Lattice Boltzmann method to implementation on high-performance, commodity hardware, such as…

Smoothing Data with Correlated Noise by Wavelet Regularization

Traveling wave solutions of harmonic heat flow

We prove the existence of a traveling wave solution u of the harmonic heat flow in an infinitely long cylinder of radius R, which connects two locally stable and axially symmetric steady states at + and - infinity infinity. Here u is a director field, with values in the unit sphere. The traveling…

Traveling Band Solutions in a System Modeling Hunting Cooperation

A classical Lotka-Volterra model with the logistical growth of prey-and-hunting coopera- tion in the functional response of predators to prey was extended by introducing advection terms, which included the velocities of animals. The effect of velocity on the kinetics of the problem was analyzed. In…

On the numerical solution of a nonlocal boundary value problem

We study a nonlinear boundary value problem involving a nonlocal (integral) operator in the coefficients of the unknown function. Provided sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the solution, for its approximation, we propose a numerical method consisting of a classical…

On the distribution of poles of Pade' approximants to the Z-transform of complex Gaussian white noise

In the application of Pad\'{e} methods to signal processing a basic problem is to take into account the effect of measurement noise on the computed approximants. Qualitative deterministic noise models have been proposed which are consistent with experimental results. In this paper the Pad\'{e}…

Topological Singularities in Periodic Media: Ginzburg-Landau and Core-Radius Approaches

We describe the emergence of topological singularities in periodic media within the Ginzburg-Landau model and the core-radius approach. The energy functionals of both models are denoted by E, where ? represent the coherence length (in the Ginzburg-Landau model) or the core-radius size (in the core-…
