From an open set of initial data, we construct a family of classical solutions to the 1D nonisentropic compressible Euler equations which form $C^{0,\nu}$ cusps as a first singularity, for any $\nu \in [1/2,1)$. For this range of $\nu$,…

The dynamics of small, yet heavy, identical particles in turbulence exhibits singularities, called caustics, that lead to large fluctuations in the spatial particle-number density, and in collision velocities. For large particle, inertia…
