A recent prominent result asserts that steady incompressible Euler flows strictly away from stagnation in a two-dimensional infinitely long strip must be shear flows. On the other hand, flows with stagnation points, very challenging in…
We prove that the limit hypersurfaces of converging curvature flows are stable, if the initial velocity has a weak sign, and give a survey of the existence and regularity results.
We consider the Euler system describing a one-dimensional inviscid flows in space along curves of a certain class. Using differential invariants for the Euler system, we obtain its quotient equation. The solutions of the quotient equation…
An attempt is made to extend some of the basic paradigms of dynamics, from the viewpoint of (continuous) flows, to non-metric manifolds.
We show non-collapsing for the evolution of nearly spherical closed convex curves in \mathbb{R}^2 under power curvature flow using two-point-methods.
We study families of smooth immersed regular planar curves $ \alpha : \left [-1,1 \right ]\times \left [0,T \right )\to \mathbb{R}^{2}$ satisfying the fourth order nonlinear curve diffusion flow with generalised Neumann boundary conditions…
We show short-time existence for curves driven by curve diffusion flow with a prescribed contact angle $\alpha \in (0, \pi)$: The evolving curve has free boundary points, which are supported on a line and it satisfies a no-flux condition.…
In this paper, we study a new area-preserving curvature flow for closed convex planar curves. This flow will decrease the length of the evolving curve and make the curve more and more circular during the evolution process. And finally, the…
In this paper we prove two backward uniqueness theorems for extrinsic geometric flow of possibly non-compact hypersurfaces in general ambient complete Riemannian manifolds. These are applicable to a wide range of extrinsic geometric flow,…

We investigate the existence, convergence and uniqueness of modified general curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space with a prescribed asymptotic boundary.
We construct embedded ancient solutions to mean curvature flow related to certain classes of unstable minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ for $n \geq 2$. These provide examples of mean convex yet nonconvex ancient solutions that are…
We rigorously construct non-isentropic and self-similar multi-d Euler flows in which a central cavity (vacuum region) collapses. While isentropic flows of this type have been analyzed earlier by Hunter \cite{hun_60} and others, the…
In this paper, we consider a new length preserving curve flow for convex curves in the plane. We show that the global flow exists, the area of the region bounded by the evolving curve is increasing, and the evolving curve converges to the…
The author studies the flows of an ideal incompressible fluid in a 2-dimensional domain, and in particular questions of instability and controllability.
In this paper, following J. Franks' work on Lyapunov graphs of nonsingular Smale flows on $S^3$, we study Lyapunov graphs of nonsingular Smale flows on $S^1 \times S^2$. More precisely, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions on an…
We consider compressible fluid flow on an evolving surface with a piecewise Lipschitz-continuous boundary from an energetic point of view. We employ both an energetic variational approach and the first law of thermodynamics to make a…
We classify invariant curves for birational surface maps that are expanding on cohomology. When the expansion is exponential, the arithmetic genus of an invariant curve is at most one. This implies severe constraints on both the type and…
A recent article by the first two authors together with B Andrews and V-M Wheeler considered the so-called `ideal curve flow', a sixth order curvature flow that seeks to deform closed planar curves to curves with least variation of total…
