The lid-driven cavity is an important fluid mechanical system serving as a benchmark for
testing numerical methods and for studying fundamental aspects of incompressible flows in …

First-passage properties underlie a wide range of stochastic processes, such as diffusion-
limited growth, neuron firing, and the triggering of stock options. This book provides a unified …

The aim of this book is to bring together classical and recent developments in the particular
field of Newtonian flow at low Reynolds numbers. The methods are developed from first …

Scaling (power-type) laws reveal the fundamental property of the phenomena--self similarity.
Self-similar (scaling) phenomena repeat themselves in time and/or space. The property of …

The study of the dynamics of fluids is a central theme of modern applied mathematics. It is
used to model a vast range of physical phenomena and plays a vital role in science and …

Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flows over riblet-mounted surfaces are performed to
educe the mechanism of drag reduction by riblets. The computed drag on the riblet surfaces …

The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive discussion of Fourier and
Chebyshev spectral methods for the computation of incom pressible viscous flows, based on …

The Navier-Stokes equations were firmly established in the 19th Century as the system of
nonlinear partial differential equations which describe the motion of most commonly …

During the past years, numerical simulations of Nucleate Boiling have attracted increasing
attention. If significant advances have already been performed on the conception of accurate …

In this paper we study some instabilities and bifurcations of two-dimensional channel flows.
We use analytical, numerical and experimental methods. We start by recapitulating some …
