This paper addresses the problem of axisymetric rotating flows bounded by a fixed horizontal plate and subject to a permanent, uniform, vertical magnetic field (the so-called B\"odewadt-Hartmann problem). The aim is to find out which one of…
Exact solutions of a classical problem of a plane unsteady potential flow of an ideal incompressible fluid with a free boundary are presented. The fluid occupies a semi-infinite strip bounded by the free surface (from above) and (from the…
We show that, given a sufficiently regular forcing, the solution of the two-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations on the periodic $\beta$-plane (i.e.\ with the Coriolis force varying as $f_0+\beta y$) will become nearly zonal: with the…
We prove conditions for global nonlinear stability of Oldroyd-B viscoelatic fluid flows in the Couette shear flow geometry. Global stability is inferred by analysing a new functional, called a perturbation entropy, to quantify the magnitude…

The Euler-$\alpha$ equations model the averaged motion of an ideal incompressible fluid when filtering over spatial scales smaller than $\alpha$. We show that there exists $\beta>1$ such that weak solutions to the two and three dimensional…
The Navier-Stokes-Coriolis system is a simple model for rotating fluids, which allows to study the influence of the Coriolis force on the dynamics of three-dimensional flows. In this paper, we consider the NSC system in an infinite…
We prove the asymptotic stability of shear flows close to the Couette flow for the 2-D inhomogeneous incompressible Euler equations on $\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}$. More precisely, if the initial velocity is close to the Couette flow and…
