In Microscopic Particle Image Velocimetry ($\mu$PIV), velocity fields in microchannels are sampled over finite volumes within which the velocity fields themselves may vary significantly. In the past, this has limited measurements often to…
It has long been suspected that flows of incompressible fluids at large or infinite Reynolds number (namely at small or zero viscosity) may present finite time singularities. We review briefly the theoretical situation on this point. We…
Analyses of peculiar velocity surveys face several challenges, including low signal--to--noise in individual velocity measurements and the presence of small--scale, nonlinear flows. This is the second in a series of papers in which we…

This article examines the Bouton-Lie group invariants of the Navier-Stokes equation (NSE) for incompressible fluids. Bouton's theory is applied to the general scaling transformation admitted by the NSE and is used to derive all self-similar…
Whether the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations can develop a finite time singularity from smooth initial data is one of the most challenging problems in nonlinear PDEs. In this paper, we present some new numerical evidence that the…
We derive a criterion for the breakdown of solutions to the Oldroyd-B model in $\R^3$ in the limit of zero Reynolds number (creeping flow). If the initial stress field is in the Sobolev space $H^m$, $m> 5/2$, then either a unique solution…
We establish a blowup criterion for the two-dimensional (2D) full compressible Navier-Stokes system. The criterion is given in terms of the divergence of the velocity field only, and is independent of the temperature. It is almost the same…
