Splash singularities for the free boundary Navier-Stokes equations

Analysis of PDEs 2019-05-14 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the existence of smooth initial data for the 2D free boundary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, for which the smoothness of the interface breaks down in finite time into a splash singularity.
