Singular or weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations have been hypothesized to account for anomalous dissipation at very high Reynolds numbers and, in particular, to explain the d'Alembert paradox of non-vanishing drag. A…
We consider a two-dimensional, two-layer, incompressible, steady flow, with vorticity which is constant in each layer, in an infinite channel with rigid walls. The velocity is continuous across the interface, there is no surface tension or…

Models that describe Newtonian liquid films evolving due to the competing effects of surface tension and attractive intermolecular or van der Waals forces are known to rupture in finite time in a self-similar manner. We extend the…
Non-Newtonian fluids have a viscosity that varies with applied stress. Elastoviscoplastic fluids, the elastic, viscous and plastic properties of which are interconnected in a non-trivial way, belong to this category. We have performed…
The Navier-Stokes equations generate an infinite set of generalized Lyapunov exponents defined by different ways of measuring the distance between exponentially diverging perturbed and unperturbed solutions. This set is demonstrated to be…

This paper is concerned with regular flows of incompressible weakly viscoelastic fluids which obey a differential constitutive law of Oldroyd type. We study the newtonian limit for weakly viscoelastic fluid flows in $\R^N$ or $\T^N$ for…
For the water waves equations, the existence of splat singularities has been shown in [3], i.e., the interface self-intersects along an arc in finite time. The aim of this paper is to show the absence of splat singularities for the…
We consider the Cauchy problem for incompressible viscoelastic fluids in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d=2,3$). By introducing a new decomposition via Helmholtz's projections, we first provide an alternative proof on the existence of…

The aim of this work is to study the Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations that govern flows with non-negative density of incompressible fluids with elastic properties. For the associated non-linear initial-and boundary-value problem, we prove the…
In the present note, we show that, as a priori bounds, the vorticity dynamics derived from Leray's backward self-similarity hypothesis admits only trivial solution in viscous as well as inviscid flows. By analogy, there is no non-zero…
The evolution of the interface separating a conduit of light, viscous fluid rising buoyantly through a heavy, more viscous, exterior fluid at small Reynolds numbers is governed by the interplay between nonlinearity and dispersion. Previous…
We consider arbitrary, possibly turbulent, Boussinesq flow which is smooth below a dissipative scale $l_d$. It is demonstrated that the stability of the flow with respect to growth of fluctuations with scale smaller than $l_d$ leads to a…
