We study analytically the development of gravitational instability in an expanding shell having finite thickness. We consider three models for the radial density profile of the shell: (i) an analytic uniform-density model, (ii) a…
Let $\Omega$ be a open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n $ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. We consider the equation $ \Delta u + u^{\frac{n-k+2}{n-k-2}-\varepsilon} =0\,\hbox{ in }\,\Omega $, under zero Dirichlet boundary condition,…
We consider the mixed problem for $L$ the Lam\'e system of elasticity in a bounded Lipschitz domain $ \Omega\subset\reals ^2$. We suppose that the boundary is written as the union of two disjoint sets, $\partial\Omega =D\cup N$. We take…
We study the small-scale behavior of generalized two-dimensional turbulence governed by a family of model equations, in which the active scalar $\theta=(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}\psi$ is advected by the incompressible flow $\u=(-\psi_y,\psi_x)$.…
In this paper, we consider viscoelastic flows in a rough domain (with typical roughness patterns of size $\epsilon$ < 1). We present and rigorously justify an asymptotic expansion with respect to $\epsilon$, at any order, based upon the…
In this paper, we are concerned with the following viscoelastic wave equation \begin{equation*} \label{1} u_{tt}-\nabla u +\int_0^t g_1 (t-s)~ div(a_1(x) \nabla u(s))~ ds + \int_0^{+ \infty} g_2 (s)~ div(a_2(x) \nabla u(t-s)) ~ds = 0,…

Given a bounded regular domain $\omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N-1}$ and the half-cylinder $\Sigma = \omega \times (0,+\infty)$, we consider the relative overdetermined torsion problem in $\Sigma$, i.e. \[\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \Delta…
As two-dimensional fluid shells, lipid bilayer membranes resist bending and stretching but are unable to sustain shear stresses. This property gives membranes the ability to adopt dramatic shape changes. In this paper, a finite element…
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…
We prove a $\Gamma$-convergence result for space dependent weak membrane energies, that is for 'truncated quadratic potentials', that are quadratic below some threshold (depending on the pair of points that we are considering) and constant…

We consider a mathematical model which describes the quasistatic frictionless contact of a viscoelastic body with a rigid-plastic foundation. We describe the mechanical assumptions, list the hypotheses on the data and provide three…
Serrin's symmetry theorem shows that the classical overdetermined torsion problem forces the domain to be a ball. Extending this rigidity statement to merely Lipschitz (and more generally rough) domains in the weak formulation has been a…
In rotating fluids, the viscous smoothing of inviscid singular inertial waves leads to the formation of internal shear layers. In previous works, we analysed the internal shear layers excited by a viscous forcing (longitudinal libration) in…
A robust finite volume method for viscoelastic flow analysis on general unstructured meshes is developed. It is built upon a general-purpose stabilization framework for high Weissenberg number flows. The numerical framework provides full…
