We answer a question left open in [4] and [3], by proving that the blow-up of minimizers u of the lower dimensional obstacle problem is unique at generic point of the free boundary. ...
It is well known that cities increase air and surface temperatures compared to their rural sur-roundings, the so-called urban heat island (UHI) effect. However, the associated changes in at-mospheric humidity (also known as urban dry island, UDI) and conve ...
Drifting snow is a multi-scale process. It is composed of particles rolling and sliding along the surface, particles in saltation following short ballistic trajectories in the first 10 cm above the surface and particles in suspension at higher regions of t ...
In the present paper the "interface" dynamics in the case of two complex systems interaction, assimilated to fractal-type mathematical objects, are analyzed. In such context, fractal bistable-type behaviors as transitions in the scale space are obtained. O ...

Biological flapping wing fliers operate efficiently and robustly in a wide range of flight conditions and are a great source of inspiration to engineers. The unsteady aerodynamics of flapping wing flight are dominated by large-scale vortical structures tha ...
Deep water ventilation and mixing are of great importance for large lake ecosystems. Relevant processes include cold density currents due to differential cooling, inter-basin exchange and upwelling. At present, a good understanding of these processes in la ...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have benefited from a tremendous increase in popularity over the past decade, which has inspired their application toward many novel and unique use cases. One of them is the use of UAVs in meteorological research, in particu ...
When a gravity-driven solid-fluid mixture, such as those in geophysical flows, hits a wall-like rigid obstacle, a metastable jammed zone called hydrodynamic dead zone (HDZ) may emerge. The unjammed-jammed transition of HDZ, controlled by the intricate inte ...
We present a novel isogeometric method, namely the Immersed Boundary-Conformal Method (IBCM), that features a layer of discretization conformal to the boundary while employing a simple background mesh for the remaining domain. In this manner, we leverage t ...
