In this paper we study the compressible magnetohydrodynamics equations in three dimensions, which offer a good model for plasmas. Formation of singularity for C1-solution in finite time is proved with axisymmetric initial data. The key…
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…
In this paper, we prove the existence of smooth initial data for the 2D free boundary incompressible Euler equations (also known for some particular scenarios as the water wave problem), for which the smoothness of the interface breaks down…
We consider the question whether starting from a smooth initial condition 3D inviscid Euler flows on a periodic domain $\mathbb{T}^3$ may develop singularities in a finite time. Our point of departure is the well-known result by Kato…
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…
We prove that one cannot construct, for arbitrary initial data, global-in-time physical classical solutions to Euler's equations of continuum rigid body mechanics when the constituent rigid bodies are not perfect spheres. By 'physical'…
