The primitive equations (PE) are a fundamental model in geophysical fluid dynamics. While the viscous PE are globally well-posed, their inviscid counterparts are known to be ill-posed. In this paper, we study the two-dimensional…
We consider the Stokes-transport system, a model for the evolution of an incompressible viscous fluid with inhomogeneous density. This equation was already known to be globally well-posed for any $L^1\cap L^\infty$ initial density with…
An important problem in the theory of compressible gas flows is to understand the singular behavior of vacuum states. The main difficulty lies in the fact that the system becomes degenerate at the vacuum boundary, where the characteristics…

We rigorously derive a strain-gradient model of plasticity as a $\Gamma$-limit of continuum bodies containing finitely-many edge-dislocations (in two dimensions). The key difference from previous such derivations is the elemental notion of…
