We prove a blow-up criterion in terms of the upper bound of the density for the strong solution to the 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The initial vacuum is allowed. The main ingredient of the proof is \textit{a priori} estimate…

For the Schr\"odinger flow from $R^2 \times R^+$ to the 2-sphere $S^2$, it is not known if finite energy solutions can blow up in finite time. We study equivariant solutions whose energy is near the energy of the family of equivariant…

For a solution $u$ to the Navier-Stokes equations in spatial dimension $n\geq3$ which blows up at a finite time $T>0$, we prove the blowup estimate ${\|u(t)\|}_{\dot{B}_{p,q}^{s_{p}+\epsilon}(\mathbb{R}^n)}\gtrsim_{\varphi,\epsilon,(p\vee…

We obtain an upper bound on the initial blow-up of nonnegative solutions of second order semilinear parabolic inequalities when a superlinear exponent in the inequalities is not too large.

The 2d Boussinesq equations model large scale atmospheric and oceanic flows. Whether its solutions develop a singularity in finite-time remains a classical open problem in mathematical fluid dynamics. In this work, blowup from smooth…

We consider a nonlinear wave equation with nonconstant coefficients. In particular, the coefficient in front of the second order space derivative is degenerate. We give the blow-up behavior and the regularity of the blow-up set. Partial…

We construct finite time blow-up solutions to the 3-dimensional harmonic map flow into the sphere $S^2$, \begin{align*} u_t & = \Delta u + |\nabla u|^2 u \quad \text{in } \Omega\times(0,T) \\ u &= u_b \quad \text{on } \partial…
