We consider the two dimensional gravity water wave equation in a regime where the free interface is allowed to be non-$C^1$. In this regime, only a degenerate Taylor inequality $-\frac{\partial P}{\partial \bf n}\ge 0$ holds, with…
We introduce a numerical strategy to study the evolution of 2D water waves in the presence of a plunging jet. The free-surface Navier-Stokes solution is obtained with a finite but small viscosity. We observe the formation of a surface…
We establish the existence of smooth, finite-energy solutions to the 2D incompressible porous media equation (IPM), with a compactly supported uniformly smooth source, which develop singularities in finite time.
Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative of the velocity field is infinite at any point of a field of flow (or, in an evolving flow, becomes infinite at any point within a finite time). Such singularities can…
