Dense granular rheology from fluctuations
Benjamin M. Alessio, Matthew R. Edwards, Ching-Yao Lai
A unifying framework to describe dense flows of dry, deformable grains is proposed. Perturbative analysis of a granular temperature equation describing flows with contact stresses,…

A Reaction-Diffusion-Chemotaxis Model for Human Population Dynamics over Fractal Terrains
Benjamin M. Alessio, Ankur Gupta
Advection of entities induced by gradients in attractant concentration fields is observed via diffusiophoresis in colloids and via chemotaxis in microorganisms. Mathematically, bot…

Diffusiophoresis-Enhanced Turing Patterns
Benjamin M. Alessio, Ankur Gupta
Turing patterns are fundamental in biophysics, emerging from short-range activation and long-range inhibition processes. However, their paradigm is based on diffusive transport pro…
