This paper is an attempt to classify finite-time singularities of PDEs. Most of the problems considered describe free-surface flows, which are easily observed experimentally. We consider problems where the singularity occurs at a point, and…
Under mean curvature flow, a closed, embedded hypersurface $M(t)$ becomes singular in finite time. For certain classes of mean-convex mean curvature flows, we show the continuity of the first singular time $T$ and the limit set "$M(T)$",…
The 3D incompressible Euler equations in a bounded domain are most often supplemented with impermeable boundary conditions, which constrain the fluid to neither enter nor leave the domain. We establish well-posedness with inflow, outflow of…
We consider an incompressible fluid with axial symmetry without swirl, assuming initial data such that the initial vorticity is very concentrated inside $N$ small disjoint rings of thickness $\varepsilon$, each one of vorticity mass and…
