A picture of dynamical collapse of the wave function which is relativistic and time symmetric is presented. The part of the model which exhibits these features is the set of collapse outcomes. These play the role of matter distributed in…
This work is concerned with the development of a space-time adaptive numerical method, based on a rigorous a posteriori error bound, for a semilinear convection-diffusion problem which may exhibit blow-up in finite time. More specifically,…
We study the problem of evaporating drops contracting to a point. Going back to Maxwell and Langmuir, the existence of a spherical solution for which evaporating drops collapse to a point in a self-similar manner is well established in the…
We present a new model for two phase Darcy flows in fractured media, in which fractures are modelled as submanifolds of codimension one with respect to the surrounding domain (matrix). Fractures can act as drains or as barriers, since…
We study the nonlinear-damping continuation of singular solutions of the critical and supercritical NLS. Our simulations suggest that for generic initial conditions that lead to collapse in the undamped NLS, the solution of the…
We propose a practical empirical fitting function to characterize the non-Gaussian displacement distribution functions (DispD) often observed for heterogeneous diffusion problems. We first test this fitting function with the problem of a…
The deformation and break-up of Newtonian/viscoelastic droplets are studied in confined shear flow. Our numerical approach is based on a combination of Lattice-Boltzmann models (LBM) and finite difference schemes, the former used to model…
A gas or vapor bubble collapsing in the vicinity of a rigid boundary displaces towards the boundary and produces a high-speed jet directed at the boundary. This behavior has been shown to be a function of the 'anisotropy' of the collapse,…
A fundamental open problem in the theory of the multidimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations is whether smooth solutions can develop singularities in finite time. For constant viscosity coefficients, recent remarkable results show…
The evolution of a closed two-dimensional surface driven by both mean curvature flow and a reaction--diffusion process on the surface is formulated into a system, which couples the velocity law not only to the surface partial differential…
