The $\mu(I)$-rheology has been recently proposed as a potential candidate to model the flow of frictional grains in a dense inertial regime. However, this rheology was shown to be ill-posed in the mathematical sense for a large range of…
Multi-phase flows encountered in nature or in industry, exhibit non trivial rheological properties, that can be understood better thanks to model materials and appropriate rheometers. Here, we use model unsaturated granular materials:…
The purpose of this paper is to deal with the issue of well-posedness for a class of non-Newtonian fluid dynamics equations. These sets of equations are commonly used to describe various complex models that appear in nature, industry, and…
We combine classical continuum mechanics with the recently developed calculus for mixed-dimensional problems to obtain governing equations for flow in, and deformation of, fractured materials. We present models both in the context of finite…
Dry, wet, dense, and dilute granular flows have been previously considered fundamentally different and thus described by distinct, and in many cases incompatible, rheologies. We carry out extensive simulations of granular flows, including…
In this paper, we extend our study of mass transport in multicomponent isothermal fluids to the incompressible case. For a mixture, incompressibility is defined as the independence of average volume on pressure, and a weighted sum of the…
The incompressible $\mu(I)$-rheology has been used to study subaerial granular flows with remarkable success. For subaquatic granular flows, drag between grains and the pore fluid is substantially higher and the physical behaviour is more…
An important problem in the theory of compressible gas flows is to understand the singular behavior of vacuum states. The main difficulty lies in the fact that the system becomes degenerate at the vacuum boundary, where the characteristics…
Mathematical modeling of fluid flow in a porous medium is usually described by a continuity equation and a chosen constitutive law. The latter, depending on the problem at hand, may be a nonlinear relation between the fluid's pressure…
The primitive equations (PE) are a fundamental model in geophysical fluid dynamics. While the viscous PE are globally well-posed, their inviscid counterparts are known to be ill-posed. In this paper, we study the two-dimensional…
Depth-averaged systems of equations describing the motion of fluid-sediment mixtures have been widely adopted by scientists in pursuit of models that can predict the paths of dangerous overland flows of debris. As models have become…
Motivated by many applications (geophysical flows, general relativity), we attempt to set the foundations for a study of entropy solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws posed on a (Riemannian or Lorentzian) manifold. The flux of…

In this paper we study the inhomogeneous incompressible Euler equations in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\geq3$. We obtain well-posedness and blow-up results in a new framework for inhomogeneous fluids, more precisely Besov-Herz…
The flow of frictionless granular particles is studied with stress-controlled discrete element modeling simulations for systems varying in size from 300 to 100,000 particles. The volume fraction and shear stress ratio $\mu$ are relatively…
We consider a system of partial differential equations describing mass transport in a multicomponent isothermal compressible fluid. The diffusion fluxes obey the Fick-Onsager or Maxwell-Stefan closure approach. Mechanical forces result into…
An useful approximation for the displacement of two immiscible fluids in a porous medium is the Hele-Shaw model. We consider several liquids with different constant viscosities, inserted between the displacing fluids. The linear stability…
We study the local well-posedness for an interface with surface tension that separates a perfectly conducting inviscid fluid from a vacuum. The fluid flow is governed by the equations of three-dimensional ideal compressible…
Reduction of flow compressibility with the corresponding ideally invariant helicities, universally for various fluid models of neutral and ionized gases, can be argued statistically and associated with the geometrical scenario in the…
We show that the initial-value problem for the non-relativistic magnetic dynamo equation turns out to be ill-posed when the electromotive force depends linearly on the magnetic field. This result implies that the increasing of magnetic…
