We study the stability of spectrally stable, strictly monotone, smooth shear flows in the 2D Navier-Stokes equations on $\mathbb{T} \times \mathbb{R}$ with small viscosity $\nu$. We establish nonlinear stability in $H^s$ for $s \geq 2$ with…
A necessary and sufficient condition for linear stability of inviscid parallel shear flow is formulated by a novel variational method, where the velocity profile is assumed to be monotonic and analytic. Unstable eigenvalues of the Rayleigh…

We consider two models of a compressible inviscid isentropic two-fluid flow. The first one describes the liquid-gas two-phase flow. The second one can describe the mixture of two fluids of different densities or the mixture of fluid and…

We discuss the sharp interface limit of a diffuse interface model for a two-phase flow of two partly miscible viscous Newtonian fluids of different densities, when a certain parameter \epsilon>0 related to the interface thickness tends to…
In this paper, we investigate the long-time dynamics of the linearized 2-D Euler equations around a hyperbolic tangent flow $(\tanh y,0)$. A key difference compared to previous results is that the linearized operator has an embedding…
We derive the exact late-time asymptotics for small spherically symmetric solutions of nonlinear wave equations with a potential. The dominant tail is shown to result from the competition between linear and nonlinear effects.
Shear flows are naturally expected to occur in astrophysical environments and potential sites of continuous non-thermal Fermi-type particle acceleration. Here we investigate the efficiency of expanding relativistic outflows to facilitate…
