A quantum fluid passing an obstacle behaves differently from a classical one. When the flow is slow enough, the quantum gas enters a superfluid regime and neither whirlpools nor waves form around the obstacle. For higher flow velocities, it…
We consider the theoretical setting of a superfluid like 3He in a rotating container, which is set between the two layers of a type-II superconductor. We describe the superfluid vortices as a 2-dimensional Ising-like model on a triangular…

Numerical methods for solving the Navier-Stokes equations for classical (or normal) viscous fluids are well established. This is also the case for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, governing quantum inviscid flows (or superfluids) in the zero…
In this paper we treat the numerical approximation of the two-phase parabolic obstacle-like problem: \[\Delta u -u_t=\lambda^+\cdot\chi_{\{u>0\}}-\lambda^-\cdot\chi_{\{u<0\}},\quad (t,x)\in (0,T)\times\Omega,\] where $T < \infty, \lambda^+…

We consider quasilinear elliptic problems of the form \[ -\operatorname{div}\big(\phi(|\nabla u|)\nabla u\big)+V(x)\phi (|u|)u=f(u)\qquad u\in W^{1,\Phi}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), \] where $\phi$ and $f$ satisfy suitable conditions. The positive…
This paper is dedicated to a free boundary system arising in the study of a class of shape optimization problems. The problem involves three variables: two functions $u$ and $v$, and a domain $\Omega$; with $u$ and $v$ being both positive…
In this paper, we are interested in the nonlinear Schr\"odinger problem $-\Delta u + Vu = \abs{u}^{p-2}u$ submitted to the Dirichlet boundary conditions. We consider $p>2$ and we are working with an open bounded domain $\Omega\subset\IR^N$…
The supernovae are typical complex phenomena in fluid mechanics with very different time scales. We describe them in the light of catastrophe theory, assuming that successive equilibria between pressure and gravity present a saddle-node…
Starting with the Vlasov-Boltzmann equation for a binary fluid mixture, we derive an equation for the velocity field $\bm{u}$ when the system is segregated into two phases (at low temperatures) with a sharp interface between them. $\bm{u}$…
In the framework of the Gross-Pitaevskii mean field approach it is shown that the supersonic flow of a Bose-Einstein condensate can support a new type of pattern--an oblique dark soliton. The corresponding exact solution of the…

An analysis of the slab phase as it is expected in the innermost layer of neutron-star crusts is performed within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov framework. We take the periodicity of the slabs into account using Bloch boundary conditions, in…
Here we solve the problem posed by Comte and Lachand-Robert in (2001). Take a bounded domain \Omega in R^2 and a piecewise smooth non-positive function u : \bar{\Omega} \to R vanishing on the boundary of \Omega. Consider a flow of point…
We consider the equation $d^2\Delta u - u+ u^{\frac{n-k+2}{n-k-2}} =0\,\hbox{in}\Omega $, under zero Neumann boundary conditions, where $\Omega$ is open, smooth and bounded and $d$ is a small positive parameter. We assume that there is a…
