In this paper we consider a free boundary problem for the melting of ice where we assume that the heat is transported by conduction in both the liquid and the solid part of the material and also by radiation in the solid. Specifically, we…
We explore the instabilities developed in a fluid in which viscosity depends on temperature. In particular, we consider a dependency that models a very viscous (and thus rather rigid) lithosphere over a convecting mantle. To this end, we…

When a liquid melt is cooled, a glass or phase transition can be obtained depending on the cooling rate. Yet, this behavior has not been clearly captured in energy landscape models. Here a model is provided in which two key ingredients are…
We consider the periodic problem for two-fluid non-isentropic Euler-Maxwell systems in plasmas. By means of suitable choices of symmetrizers and an induction argument on the order of the time-space derivatives of solutions in energy…
We consider a probabilistic formulation of a singular two-phase Stefan problem in one space dimension, which amounts to a coupled system of two McKean-Vlasov stochastic differential equations. In the financial context of systemic risk, this…
The preferential formation of one solid over the other, as it precipitates out from the melt at specific temperatures, is often explained by invoking a competition between thermodynamic and kinetic control. A quantitative theory, however,…
