Plateau's problem is not a single conjecture or theorem, but rather an abstract framework, encompassing a number of different problems in several related areas of mathematics. In its most general form, Plateau's problem is to find 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…

This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…

We establish the existence of saddle points for a free boundary problem describing the two-dimensional free surface of a ferrofluid which undergoes normal field instability (also known as Rosensweig instability). The starting point consists…

Surface-subsurface flow models for hydrological applications solve a coupled multiphysics problem. This usually consists of some form of the Richards and shallow water equations. A typical setup couples these two nonlinear partial…

We study the line bundle mean curvature flow on K\"ahler surfaces under the hypercritical phase and a certain semipositivity condition. We naturally encounter such a condition when considering the blowup of K\"ahler surfaces. We show that…

We consider the Landau-Lifshitz equations of ferromagnetism (including the harmonic map heat-flow and Schroedinger flow as special cases) for degree m equivariant maps from R^2 to S^2. If m \geq 3, we prove that near-minimal energy…

A material-based, i.e., Lagrangian, methodology for exact integration of flux by volume-preserving flows through a surface has been developed recently in [Karrasch, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 76 (2016), pp. 1178-1190]. In the present paper, we…

We study the minimal surface equation in the Heisenberg space, Nil_3. A geometric proof of non existence of minimal graphs over non convex, bounded and unbounded domains is achieved (our proof holds in the Euclidean space as well). We solve…

We study the convergence of an axially symmetric hypersurface evolving by volume preserving mean curvature flow. Assuming the surface is not pinching off along the axis at any time during the flow, and without any additional conditions, as…

In this paper, we derive a number of interesting properties and extensions of the convex flow problem from the perspective of convex geometry. We show that the sets of allowable flows always can be imbued with a downward closure property,…

We examine computationally the two-dimensional flow of elastoviscoplastic (EVP) fluids around a cylinder symmetrically placed between two plates parallel to its axis. The Saramito-Herschel-Bulkley fluid model is solved via the finite-volume…

In this paper we present some classification results for the steady Euler equations in two-dimensional exterior domains with free boundaries. We prove that, in an exterior domain, if a steady Euler flow devoid of interior stagnation points…

We prove the stability of three-dimensional axisymmetric solutions to the steady Euler system with transonic shocks in divergent nozzles under perturbations of the exit pressure and the supersonic solution in the upstream region. We first…

We analyze the well-posedness of a flow-plate interaction considered in [22, 24]. Specifically, we consider the Kutta-Joukowski boundary conditions for the flow [20, 28, 26], which ultimately give rise to a hyperbolic equation in the…

The issue of symmetry and symmetry breaking is fundamental in all areas of science. Symmetry is often assimilated to order and beauty while symmetry breaking is the source of many interesting phenomena such as phase transitions,…

We study the asymptotic behavior of flat flow solutions to the periodic and planar two-phase Mullins-Sekerka flow and area-preserving curvature flow. We show that flat flows converge to either a finite union of equally sized disjoint disks…
