The hydrodynamical cosmological simulation \eagle{} is used to model the Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) of moderate X-ray luminosity active galactic nuclei (mXAGN), extending previous work using only dark matter simulations and…
In this paper, we consider a confined physical scenario to prove global existence of smooth solutions with bounded density and finite energy for the inviscid incompressible porous media (IPM) equation. The result is proved using the…
In this paper, we show the existence of the first non trivial family of classical global solutions of the inviscid surface quasi-geostrophic equation.
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.
We consider the 2D Boussinesq equations with a velocity damping term in a strip $\mathbb{T}\times[-1,1]$, with impermeable walls. In this physical scenario, where the \textit{Boussinesq approximation} is accurate when density/temperature…
In this paper, we show the existence of a family of compactly supported smooth vorticities, which are solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equation and rotate uniformly in time and space.
The variability of young stellar objects is mostly driven by star-disk interactions. In long-term photometric monitoring of the accreting T Tauri star GI Tau, we detect extinction events with typical depths of $\Delta V \sim 2.5$ mag that…
Motivated by the recent work of Hassainia and Hmidi [Z. Hassainia, T. Hmidi - On the {V}-states for the generalized quasi-geostrophic equations,arXiv preprint arXiv:1405.0858], we close the question of the existence of convex global…
We show that there exists a family of analytic convex global rotating solutions for the vortex patch equations, bifurcating from ellipses. As a byproduct, the analyticity proof can also be adapted to the rotating patch solutions bifurcating…
We explore the relationships between the 3.3 {\mu}m polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) feature and active galactic nucleus (AGN) properties of a sample of 54 hard X-ray selected bright AGNs, including both Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 type…
We study here Green-Naghdi type equations (also called fully nonlinear Boussinesq, or Serre equations) modeling the propagation of large amplitude waves in shallow water. The novelty here is that we allow for a general vorticity, hereby…
Here we consider the 2D free boundary incompressible Euler equation with surface tension. We prove that the surface tension does not prevent a finite time splash or splat singularity, i.e. that the curve touches itself either in a point or…
In this paper we show that there exist analytic initial data in the stable regime for the Muskat problem such that the solution turns to the unstable regime and later breaks down i.e. no longer belongs to $C^4$.
We exhibit smooth initial data for the 2D water wave equation for which we prove that smoothness of the interface breaks down in finite time. Moreover, we show a stability result together with numerical evidence that there exist solutions…
We consider the evolution of an interface generated between two immiscible incompressible and irrotational fluids. Specifically we study the Muskat and water wave problems. We show that starting with a family of initial data given by…
In this paper we study the Burgers equation with a nonlocal term of the form $Hu$ where $H$ is the Hilbert transform. This system has been considered as a quadratic approximation for the dynamics of a free boundary of a vortex patch. We…
This paper shows finite time singularity formation for the Muskat problem in a stable regime. The framework we found is with a dry region, where the density and the viscosity are set equal to $0$ (the gradient of the pressure is equal to…
Guided by numerical simulations, we present the proof of two results concerning the behaviour of SQG sharp fronts and $\alpha$-patches. We establish that ellipses are not rotational solutions and we prove that initially convex interfaces…
In this paper we derive a new formulation of the water waves equations with vorticity that generalizes the well-known Zalkarov-Craig-Sulem formulation used in the irrotational case. We prove the local well-posedness of this formulation, and…
In this paper we show a structural stability result for water waves. The main motivation for this result is that we would like to exhibit a water wave whose interface starts as a graph and ends in a splash. Numerical simulations lead to an…
