Using Multiscale Norms to Quantify Mixing and Transport
by Jean-Luc Thiffeault
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 52
Description:
Mixing is relevant to many areas of science and engineering, including the pharmaceutical and food industries, oceanography, atmospheric sciences, and civil engineering. In all these situations one goal is to quantify and often then to improve the degree of homogenisation of a substance being stirred, referred to as a passive scalar or tracer.

Some Open Questions in Hydrodynamicsby Mateusz Dyndal, Laurent Schoeffel - arXiv
There are many deep open questions that come with the theory of fluid mechanics. We discuss some of them that we classify in two categories, the long term behavior of solutions of equations of hydrodynamics and the definition of initial conditions.

Why the Boundary of a Round Drop Becomes a Curve of Order Fourby A. N. Varchenko, P. I. Etingof - American Mathematical Society
This book concerns the problem of evolution of a round oil spot surrounded by water when oil is extracted from a well inside the spot. It turns out that the boundary of the spot remains an algebraic curve of degree four in the course of evolution.
