We prove local non blow-up theorems for the 3D incompressible Euler equations under local Type I conditions. More specifically, for a classical solution $v\in L^\infty (-1,0; L^2 ( B(x_0,r)))\cap L^\infty_{\rm loc} (-1,0; W^{1, \infty}…

Existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to a barotropic compressible fluid--viscoelastic shell interaction system have recently been established on a finite time interval. A natural question is whether such solutions can be continued…

In this paper we prove the blow-up theorem in the critical case for weakly coupled systems of semilinear wave equations in high dimensions. The upper bound of the lifespan of the solution is precisely clarified.

There are two competing descriptions of nematic liquid crystal dynamics: the Ericksen-Leslie director theory and the Eringen micropolar approach. Up to this day, these two descriptions have remained distinct in spite of several attempts to…

We show that a necessary condition for $T$ to be a potential blow up time is $\lim\limits_{t\uparrow T}\|v(\cdot,t)\|_{L_3}=\infty$.

Liquid crystal droplets are of great interest from physics and applications. Rigorous mathematical analysis is challenging as the problem involves harmonic maps (and in general the Oseen-Frank model), free interfaces and topological defects…

We prove that a solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes or MHD equations does not blow up at $t=T$ provided $\displaystyle \limsup_{q \to \infty} \int_{\mathcal{T}_q}^T \|\Delta_q(\nabla \times u)\|_\infty \, dt$ is small enough, where $u$ is the…

In this paper we discuss the behavior of the Oseen-Frank model for nematic liquid crystals in the limit of vanishing thickness. More precisely, in a thin slab~$\Omega\times (0,h)$ with~$\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ and $h>0$ we consider the…

It is shown that, if the vorticity magnitude associated with a (presumed singular) three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes flow blows-up in a manner exhibiting certain {\em time dependent local structure}, then {\em time independent}…

In this work, we study the Cauchy problem of Poiseuille flow of the full Ericksen-Leslie model for nematic liquid crystals. The model is a coupled system of two partial differential equations: One is a quasi-linear wave equation for the…

We consider the nonlinear heat equations with Neumann boundary conditions $$ \begin{cases} u_{t}=\Delta u & \text{in}\ \mathbb{R}_{+}^{4} \times(0, T) ,\\ -\frac{d u}{d x_{4}}(\tilde{x}, 0, t) \ =u^2(\tilde{x}, 0, t)& \text{in}\…
