We consider a complexification of the Euler equations introduced by \v{S}ver\'ak which conserves energy. We prove that these complex Euler equations are nonlinearly ill-posed below analytic regularity and, moreover, we exhibit solutions…
We report the results of a computational investigation of two blow-up criteria for the 3D incompressible Euler equations. One criterion was proven in a previous work, and a related criterion is proved here. These criteria are based on an…
This paper is devoted to the global (in time) regularity problem for a family of active scalar equations with fractional dissipation. Each component of the velocity field $u$ is determined by the active scalar $\theta$ through $\mathcal{R}…
For all $\epsilon>0$, we prove the existence of finite-energy strong solutions to the axi-symmetric $3D$ Euler equations on the domains $ \{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3: (1+\epsilon|z|)^2\leq x^2+y^2\}$ which become singular in finite time. We…
We study the Muskat problem on the half-plane, which models motion of an interface between two fluids of distinct densities (e.g., oil and water) in a porous medium (e.g., an aquifer) that sits atop an impermeable layer (e.g., bedrock).…
We discuss the issue of maximal regularity for evolutionary equations with non-autonomous coefficients. Here evolutionary equations are abstract partial-differential algebraic equations considered in Hilbert spaces. The catch is to consider…
A semi-discretization in time, according to a full implicit Euler scheme, for a 2D dissipative quasi geostrophic equation, is studied. We prove existence, uniqueness and regularity results of the solution to the predicted discretization, in…
This paper studies a family of generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equations for an active scalar $\theta$ on the whole plane whose velocities have been mildly regularized, for instance, logarithmically. The well-posedness of these…
The issue of so-called maximal regularity is discussed within a Hilbert space framework for a class of evolutionary equations. Viewing evolutionary equations as a sums of two unbounded operators, showing maximal regularity amounts to…
We prove by an explicit construction that solutions to incompressible 3D Euler equations defined in the periodic cube can be mapped bijectively to a new system of equations whose solutions are globally regular. We establish that the usual…
In this paper we reveal the existence of a large family of new, nontrivial and smooth traveling waves for the 2D Euler equation at an arbitrarily small distance from the Couette flow in $H^s$, with $s<3/2$, at the level of the vorticity.…
Motivated by the work on stagnation-point type exact solutions (with infinite energy) of 3D Euler fluid equations by Gibbon et al. (1999) and the subsequent demonstration of finite-time blowup by Constantin (2006) we introduce a…
In this article, we study the regularity theory for two linear equations that are important in fluid dynamics: the passive scalar equation for (time-varying) shear flows close to Couette in $\mathbb T \times [-1,1]$ with vanishing…
We study regularity properties of the data-to-solution maps of the family of generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations which includes both the 2D incompressible Euler and the standard surface quasi-geostrophic equations. We prove that…
We consider solutions to linear parabolic SPDEs of the form \[ \mathrm{d} u(t) + A u(t)\, \mathrm{d} t = g(t)\, \mathrm{d} \beta, \qquad u(0)=0, \] where $A$ is a positive, invertible, and self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $X$,…
