Absolute equilibrium dynamics in 3d turbulence
Turbulence is ubiquitous in atmospheric winds, ocean currents, and industrial flows and presents complex out-of-equilibrium dynamics, characterized (...)

Geostrophic turbulent convection
Buoyantly-driven rotating turbulence occurs in planetary and stellar interiors, where it is responsible for mixing and transport (of heat, composition, momentum, (...)

Resonant sloshing in circular cylinders : counter-rotating waves and triadic interactions
Liquid sloshing ---the dynamics of a liquid free surface induced by the motion of its container--- plays (...)

Complex fluid-based supramolecular hydrogels for 3D bioprinting
3D bioprinting holds tremendous promise in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. By providing precise (...)

Mesh adaptation for the numerical observation of bi-stability in turbulent flows
