Non-stationary Euler flows of gases are studied. The system of differential equations describing such flows can be represented by means of 2-forms on zero-jet space and we get some exact solutions by means of such a representation.…

The characteristic formulation of the relativistic hydrodynamic equations (Donat et al 1998 J. Comput. Phys. 146 58), which has been implemented in many relativistic hydro-codes that make use of Godunov-type methods, has to be slightly…
In this paper, we establish three Arnold-type stability theorems for steady or rotating solutions of the incompressible Euler equation on a sphere. Specifically, we prove that if the stream function of a flow solves a semilinear elliptic…
Vortex blob methods are typically characterized by a regularization length scale, below which the dynamics are trivial for isolated blobs. In this article we observe that the dynamics need not be trivial if one is willing to consider…

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of three dimensional steady Euler flows in rectangular nozzles when prescribing normal component of momentum at both the entrance and exit. If, in addition, the normal component of the…
In this expository note we discuss our recent work [arXiv:1306.5028] on the nonlinear asymptotic stability of shear flows in the 2D Euler equations of ideal, incompressible flow. In that work it is proved that perturbations to the Couette…
Nonuniform ellipticity is a classical topic in the theory of partial differential equations. While several results in regularity theory have been adding up over decades, many basic issues, as for instance the validity of Schauder theory and…
We develop, via Arnold's geometric framework, a mechanism for constructing explicit, smooth, global-in-time, and typically non-stationary solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. The approach introduces a notion of generalized…
The two-dimensional (2-D) Euler equations of a perfect fluid possess a beautiful geometric description: they are reduced geodesic equations on the infinite-dimensional Lie group of symplectomorphims with respect to a right-invariant…
We study the structure of shock-free solutions of the compressible Euler equations with large data. We describe conditions under which the Rarefactive/Compressive character of solutions changes, and conditions under which the vacuum is…
