We present novel self-similar finite-time blowup scenarios for the 1D Hou--Luo model. We numerically demonstrate that solutions that initially satisfy certain derivative degeneracy condition can develop asymptotically self-similar…

We give an example of a well posed, finite energy, 2D incompressible active scalar equation with the same scaling as the surface quasi-geostrophic equation and prove that it can produce finite time singularities. In spite of its simplicity,…

We demonstrate finite-time blow-up in a simple, realistic shell model of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, equipped with "smooth" (i.e., rapidly decaying in frequency) initial data and forcing. Previously studied models either exhibit a…

We revisit a family of infinite-energy solutions of the 3D incompressible Euler equations proposed by Gibbon et al. [9] and shown to blowup in finite time by Constantin [6]. By adding a damping term to the momentum equation we examine how…
