This work is concerned with the mathematical analysis of the bulk rheology of random suspensions of rigid particles settling under gravity in viscous fluids. Each particle generates a fluid flow that in turn acts on other particles and hinders their settling. In an equilibrium perspective, for a given ensemble of particle positions, we analyze both the associated mean settling speed and the velocity fluctuations of individual particles. In the 1970s, Batchelor gave a proper definition of the mean settling speed, a 60-year-old open problem in physics, based on the appropriate renormalization of long-range particle contributions. In the 1980s, a celebrated formal calculation by Caflisch and Luke suggested that velocity fluctuations in dimension $d=3$ should diverge with the size of the sedimentation tank, contradicting both intuition and experimental observations. The role of long-range self-organization of suspended particles in form of hyperuniformity was later put forward to explain additional screening of this divergence in steady-state observations. In the present contribution, we develop the first rigorous theory that allows to justify all these formal calculations of the physics literature.

We study the overdamped sedimentation of non-Brownian objects of irregular shape using fluctuating hydrodynamics. The anisotropic response of the objects to flow, caused by their tendency to align with gravity, directly suppresses concentration and v
elocity fluctuations. This allows the suspension to avoid the anomalous fluctuations predicted for suspensions of symmetric spheroids. The suppression of concentration fluctuations leads to a correlated, hyperuniform structure. For certain object shapes, the anisotropic response may act in the opposite direction, destabilizing uniform sedimentation.
This work is devoted to the definition and the analysis of the effective viscosity associated with a random suspension of small rigid particles in a steady Stokes fluid. While previous works on the topic have been conveniently assuming that particles
are uniformly separated, we relax this restrictive assumption in form of mild moment bounds on interparticle distances.
We consider propagation of optical pulses under the interplay of dispersion and Kerr non-linearity in optical fibres with impurities distributed at random uniformly on the fibre. By using a model based on the non-linear Schrodinger equation we clarif
y how such inhomogeneities affect different aspects such as the number of solitons present and the intensity of the signal. We also obtain the mean distance for the signal to dissipate to a given level.
It is shown that a strong solution of the Camassa-Holm equation, initially decaying exponentially together with its spacial derivative, must be identically equal to zero if it also decays exponentially at a later time. In particular, a strong solutio
n of the Cauchy problem with compact initial profile can not be compactly supported at any later time unless it is the zero solution.
We report numerical simulations of a trapped elastic vortex driven by a strong ac magnetic field $H(t)=Hsinomega t$ parallel to the surface of a superconducting film. The surface resistance and the power dissipated by an oscillating vortex perpendicu
lar to the film surface were calculated as functions of $H$ and $omega$ for different spatial distributions, densities, and strengths of pinning centers, including bulk pinning, surface pinning, and cluster pinning. Our simulations were performed for both the Bardeen-Stephen viscous vortex drag and the Larkin-Ovchinnikov (LO) drag coefficient $eta(v)$ decreasing with the vortex velocity $v$. The local residual surface resistance $R_i(H)$ calculated for different statistical realizations of the pinning potential exhibits strong mesoscopic fluctuations caused by local depinning jumps of a vortex segment as $H$ increases, but the global surface resistance $bar{R}_i(H)$ obtained by averaging $R_i(H)$ over different pin configurations increases smoothly with the field amplitude at small $H$ and levels off at higher fields. For strong pinning, the LO decrease of $eta(v)$ with $v$ can result in a nonmonotonic field dependence of $R_i(H)$ which decreases with $H$ at higher fields, but cause a runaway instability of the vortex in a thick film for weak pinning. It is shown that overheating of a single moving vortex can produce the LO-like velocity dependence of $eta(v)$, but can mask the decrease of the surface resistance with $H$ at a higher density of trapped vortices.
