In this paper we consider a one-dimensional diffusion equation on the interval $[0,1]$ satisfying non-Feller boundary conditions. As a consequence, the initial value Cauchy problem fails to preserve nonnegativity or boundedness.…
We study the non-autonomous version of an infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian system on an interval $[a, b]$. Employing abstract results on evolution families, we show $C^1$-well-posedness of the corresponding Cauchy problem, and thereby…
The classical Prandtl-Batchelor theorem (Prandtl 1904; Batchelor 1956) states that in the regions of steady 2D flow where viscous forces are small and streamlines are closed, the vorticity is constant. In this paper, we extend this theorem…

In this paper we obtain necessary conditions and sufficient conditions on the initial data for the solvability of the Cauchy problem $$ \partial_t u+(-\Delta)^{\frac{\theta}{2}}u=u^p,\quad x\in{\bf R}^N,\,\,t>0, \qquad u(0)=\mu\ge…

In this paper, we study the back flow of the two-dimensional unsteady Prandtl boundary layer under an adverse pressure gradient. The occurrence of back flow is an important physical event in the evolution of boundary layer, which eventually…
In many cases, groundwater flow in an unconfined aquifer can be simplified to a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville model of the form: \begin{equation*} x''(t)+\lambda x(t)=h(t)+\varepsilon f(x(t)),\hspace{.1in}t\in(0,\pi) \end{equation*}…
