A free boundary problem for the dynamics of a glasslike binary fluid naturally leads to a singular perturbation problem for a strongly degenerate parabolic partial differential equation in 1D. We present a conjecture for an asymptotic…
We prove a local existence theorem for the free boundary problem for a relativistic fluid in a fixed spacetime. Our proof involves an a priori estimate which only requires control of derivatives tangential to the boundary, which holds also…
Boundedness is an important property of many physical systems. This includes incompressible fluid flows, which are often modeled by quadratic dynamics with an energy-preserving nonlinearity. For such systems, Schlegel and Noack proposed a…
It is proven that the only incompressible Euler fluid flows with fixed straight streamlines are those generated by the normal lines to a round sphere, a circular cylinder or a flat plane, the fluid flow being that of a point source, a line…

We consider the motion of the interface separating two domains of the same fluid that moves with different velocity along the tangential direction of the interface. We assume that the fluids occupying the two domains are of constant…
We analyze a diffuse interface model for multi-phase flows of $N$ incompressible, viscous Newtonian fluids with different densities. In the case of a bounded and sufficiently smooth domain existence of weak solutions in two and three space…
We are concerned with rigidity properties of steady Euler flows in two-dimensional bounded annuli. We prove that in an annulus, a steady flow with no interior stagnation point and tangential boundary conditions is a circular flow, which…
We study the length-preserving elastic flow of curves in arbitrary codimension with free boundary on hypersurfaces. This constrained gradient flow is given by a nonlocal evolution equation with nonlinear higher-order boundary conditions. We…
Well-posedness for the two dimensional Euler system with given initial vorticity is known since the works of Judovi\v{c}. In this paper we show existence of solutions in the case where we allowed the fluid to enter in and exit from the…
This thesis is devoted to the study of well-posedness properties of some geometric variational problems: existence, regularity and uniqueness of solutions. We study two specific problems arising in the context of geometric calculus of…
We prove that, in a two-dimensional strip, a steady flow of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stationary point and tangential boundary conditions is a shear flow. The same conclusion holds for a bounded steady flow in a half-plane. The…
