We explain the construction of some solutions of the Stokes system with a given set of singular points, in the sense of Caffarelli, Kohn and Nirenberg. By means of a partial regularity theorem (proved elsewhere), it turns out that we are…
Complex fluids transition from laminar to transitory flow above a critical control parameter, akin to their Newtonian counterparts. In a continuum mechanics sense, fluid elements follow the ensuing complex trajectories, giving rise to…

Flows in porous media in the low Reynolds number regime are often modeled by the Brinkman equations. Analytical solutions to these equations are limited to standard geometries. Finite volume or element schemes can be used in more…

We study the flow of a micropolar fluid in a thin domain with microstructure, i.e. a thin domain with thickness $\varepsilon$ which is perforated by periodically distributed solid cylinders of size $a_\varepsilon$. A main feature of this…
We study the second derivative effects on the constitutive relations of an uncharged parity-even Galilean fluid using the null fluid framework. Null fluids are an equivalent representation of Galilean fluids in terms of a higher dimensional…

In the classical one-dimensional solution of fluid dynamics equations all unknown functions depend only on time t and Cartesian coordinate x. Although fluid spreads in all directions (velocity vector has three components) the whole picture…
