Considering the isentropic Euler equations of compressible fluid dynamics with geometric effects included, we establish the existence of entropy solutions for a large class of initial data. We cover fluid flows in a nozzle or in spherical…
Weak-strong uniqueness property in the class of finite energy weak solutions is established for two different compressible liquid crystal systems by the method of relative entropy. To overcome the difficulties caused by the molecular…
The Cauchy problem for the complete Euler system is in general ill posed in the class of admissible (entropy producing) weak solutions. This suggests there might be sequences of approximate solutions that develop fine scale oscillations.…
Measure-valued solutions to fluid equations arise naturally, for instance as vanishing viscosity limits, yet exhibit non-uniqueness to a vast extent. In this paper, we show that some measurevalued solutions to the two-dimensional isentropic…
Recently, the author and collaborators proposed a method to construct a new conserved charge different from the Noether one for general relativistic field theory on curved space-time with energy-momentum tensor covariantly conserved, and…
A novel structure-preserving numerical method to solve random hyperbolic systems of conservation laws is presented. The method uses a concept of generalized, measure-valued solutions to random conservation laws. This yields a linear partial…
