In this paper, we are concerned with the Cauchy problem of the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation in which the velocity field is expressed as $u=K\ast\omega$, where $\omega=\omega(x,t)$ is an unknown function and…
In this paper we report on numerical studies of formation of singularities for the semilinear wave equations with a focusing power nonlinearity $u_{tt} - \Delta u = u^{p}$ in three space dimensions. We show that for generic large initial…
This paper studies the dissipative generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations in a supercritical regime where the order of the dissipation is small relative to order of the velocity, and the velocities are less regular than the…
In this article, we first consider solutions to a semilinear elliptic problem in divergence form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^2\text{div}(K(x)\nabla u)= (u-q|\ln\varepsilon|)^{p}_+,\ \ &x\in \Omega,\\ u=0,\ \ &x\in\partial…
Open problems in fluid dynamics, such as the existence of finite-time singularities (blowup), explanation of intermittency in developed turbulence, etc., are related to multi-scale structure and symmetries of underlying equations of motion.…
We investigate here spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in a spacetime with an arbitrary number of dimensions and with a general {\it type I} matter field, which is a broad class that includes most of the physically reasonable…
This work is a companion to [EJE1] and its purpose is threefold: first, we will establish local well-posedness for the axi-symmetric $3D$ Euler equation in the domains $\{(x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : x_3^2 \le \mathfrak{c}(x_1^2 +…
We consider a steady axisymmetric solution of the Euler equations for a fluid (incompressible and with zero vorticity) with a free surface, acted on only by gravity. We analyze stagnation points as well as points on the axis of symmetry. At…
We formalise a systematic method of constructing forward self-similar solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in order to characterise the late stage of decaying process of turbulent flows. (i) In view of critical scale-invariance of type…
We are concerned with the (stochastic) Lagrangian trajectories associated with Euler or Navier-Stokes equations. First, in the vanishing viscosity limit, we establish sharp non-uniqueness results for positive solutions to transport…
Starting from the Liouville equation, and using a BBGKY-like hierarchy, we derive a kinetic equation for the point vortex gas in two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamics, taking two-body correlations and collective effects into account. This…
In $n \geq 1$ spatial dimensions, we study the Cauchy problem for a quasilinear transport equation coupled to a quasilinear symmetric hyperbolic subsystem of a rather general type. For an open set (relative to a suitable Sobolev topology)…
We produce examples of solutions to the non-abelian gravitating vortex equations, which are a dimensional reduction of the K\"aher-Yang-Mills- Higgs equations. These are equations for a K\"ahler metric and a metric on a vector bundle. We…
We study the nonlinear-damping continuation of singular solutions of the critical and supercritical NLS. Our simulations suggest that for generic initial conditions that lead to collapse in the undamped NLS, the solution of the…
The Navier--Stokes (NS) equations describe fluid dynamics through a high-dimensional, nonlinear system of partial differential equations (PDEs). Despite their fundamental importance, their behavior in turbulent regimes remains incompletely…
In this paper we show the non-uniqueness of mild solutions to the two-dimensional forced Navier-Stokes equations in the half space under the noslip boundary condition, following the program established by Albritton, Bru{\'e}, and Colombo in…
We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…
In this paper, we investigate a class of inviscid generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equations on the half-plane with a rigid boundary. Compared to the Biot-Savart law in the vorticity form of the 2D Euler equation, the velocity…
We study the dynamics of quantized superfluid vortices on axisymmetric compact surfaces with no holes, where the total vortex charge must vanish and the condition of irrotational flow forbids distributed vorticity. A conformal…
We characterize a singularity in the equal-time three-point density correlations that is generic to two-dimensional interacting Fermi liquids. In momentum space where the three-point correlation is determined by two wavevectors…
