We prove that there are stationary solutions to the 2D incompressible free boundary Euler equations with two fluids, possibly with a small gravity constant, that feature a splash singularity. More precisely, in the solutions we construct…

Recently Jiang-Jiang established a global (in time) existence result for unique strong solutions of the two-dimensional (2D) free-boundary problem of an incompressible Hookean viscoelastic fluid, the rest state of which is defined in a…

Whether singularities can form in fluids remains a foundational unanswered question in mathematics. This phenomenon occurs when solutions to governing equations, such as the 3D Euler equations, develop infinite gradients from smooth initial…

In this paper, we consider the high-Weissenberg number limit of a Voigt-regularized two-dimensional Oldroyd-B model for viscoelastic fluids. We first demonstrate that the Euler-Oldroyd-B system is both linearly and nonlinearly ill-posed in…

We investigate a fluid-structure interaction system in which the dynamics of the fluid is described by the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, while the elastic structure is modeled by a damped plate equation. The fluid evolves in a…

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 prove that there exists a weak solution to a system governing an unsteady flow of a viscoelastic fluid in three dimensions, for arbitrarily large time interval and data. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes…

We investigate the evolution of rigid bodies in a viscous incompressible fluid. The flow is governed by the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, set in a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The boundaries of the solids and the domain…

We show the existence of weak solutions to the fluid-structure interaction problem of a largely deforming viscoelastic bulk solid with a viscous fluid governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In contrast to previous works,…

The paper examines the issue of existence of solutions to the steady Navier-Stokes equations in an exterior domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$. The system is studied with nonhomogeneous slip boundary conditions. The main results proves the existence…

Theoretical results on water waves almost always start by assuming irrotationality of the flow in order to simplify the formulation. In this work, we investigate the well-foundedness of this hypothesis via numerical simulations of the…

In the present work, we consider the evolution of two fluids separated by a sharp interface in the presence of surface tension - like, for example, the evolution of oil bubbles in water. Our main result is a weak-strong uniqueness principle…

In this work, we present a parametric finite element approximation of two-phase Navier-Stokes flow with viscoelasticity. The free boundary problem is given by the viscoelastic Navier-Stokes equations in the two fluid phases, connected by…

We show that, in general, the solutions to the initial-boundary value problem for the Navier-Stokes equations under a widely adopted Navier-type slip boundary condition do not converge, as the viscosity goes to zero (in any arbitrarily…
