We introduce and systematically investigate the generation of dispersive shock waves, which arise naturally in physical settings such as optical waveguide arrays and superfluids confined within optical lattices. The underlying physically…
We study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to wave equations with a structural damping term \[ u_{tt}-\Delta u+\Delta^2 u_t=0, \qquad u(0,x)=u_0(x), \,\,\, u_t(0,x)=u_1(x), \] in the whole space. New thresholds are reported in this paper…
We consider a model problem of the scattering of linear acoustic waves in free homogeneous space by an elastic solid. The stress tensor in the solid combines the effect of a linear dependence of strains with the influence of an existing…
In this paper, we study the vanishing viscosity limit of one-dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity, to the isentropic compressible Euler equations. Based on several new uniform…
The stability of an irreversible singularity, such as a Riemann shock to the full Euler system, in the absence of any technical conditions on perturbations, remains a major open problem even within mono-dimensional framework. A natural…
This paper investigates the Cauchy problem for the compressible pressureless Navier-Stokes system in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. Unlike the standard isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes system, the density in the pressureless model…
We study the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a channel $\Omega=(0,L)\times(0,H)$ with small viscosity $\varepsilon\ll1$, an $\varepsilon$-Navier slip condition on the horizontal walls, and a viscous inflow…
We present a simple theoretical framework to describe the thermal noise of a microscopic mechanical beam in a viscous fluid: we use the Sader approach to describe the effect of the surrounding fluid (added mass and viscous drag), and the…
Several theories for weakly damped free-surface flows have been formulated. In this paper we use the linear approximation to the Navier-Stokes equations to derive a new set of equations for potential flow which include dissipation due to…
It is suggested that the $\omega^{-1/2}$ high-frequency decay of the alpha loss in highly viscous liquids, which appears to be generic, is a manifestation of a negative long-time tail as typically encountered in stochastic dynamics. The…
We consider fluctuations of the time-averaged current in the one-dimensional weakly-asymmetric exclusion process on a ring. The optimal density profile which sustains a given fluctuation exhibits an instability for low enough currents,…
When analyzing the broadband absorption spectrum of liquid water (10^10 - 10^13 Hz), we find its relaxation-resonance features to be an indication of Frenkel's translation-oscillation motion of particles, which is fundamentally inherent to…
This article investigates the velocity dispersion and the spurious reflection of the viscoelastic wave that occur in the numerical integration of the viscoelastic wave equation. For this purpose, the classic finite element of two nodes,…
It is common for dispersion curves of damped periodic materials to be based on real frequencies versus complex wavenumbers or, conversely, real wavenumbers versus complex frequencies. The former condition corresponds to harmonic wave motion…
This paper presents a brief review on theoretical and numerical works on three-dimensional acoustic turbulence both in a weakly nonlinear regime, when the amplitudes of sound waves are small, and in the case of strong nonlinearity. This…
The theory of Wasserstein gradient flows in the space of probability measures has made an enormous progress over the last twenty years. It constitutes a unified and powerful framework in the study of dissipative partial differential…

The goal of this paper is to study a nonlinear viscoelastic wave equation with strong damping, time-varying delay and dynamical boundary condition. By introducing suitable energy and Lyapunov functionals, under suitable assumptions, we then…
We discuss several approaches to generalized solutions of problems describing the motion of inviscid fluids. We propose a new concept of dissipative solution to the compressible Euler system based on a careful analysis of possible…
We study the time evolution of a rotating, axisymmetric, viscous accretion flow around black holes using a grid based finite difference method. We use the Shakura-Sunyaev viscosity prescription. However, we compare with the results obtained…
