We model a 3D turbulent fluid, evolving toward a statistical equilibrium, by adding to the equations for the mean field $(v, p)$ a term like $-\alpha \nabla\cdot(\ell(x) D v_t)$. This is of the Kelvin-Voigt form, where the Prandtl mixing…

In this paper, we investigate the stability of the volume preserving mean curvature flow (VPMCF) and area preserving mean curvature flow (APMCF) in the Schwarzschild space. We show that if the initial hypersurface is sufficiently close to a…
In this paper, we consider the stability of quermassintegral inequalities along a inverse curvature flow. We choose a special rescaling of the flow such that the $k$-th quermassintegral is decreasing and the $k-1$-th quermassintegral is…
We study the stability of the Couette-Taylor flow between porous cylinders with radial throughflow. It had been shown earlier that this flow can be unstable with respect to non-axisymmetric (azimuthal or helical) waves provided that the…
The sectional curvature of the volume preserving diffeomorphism group of a Riemannian manifold $M$ can give information about the stability of inviscid, incompressible fluid flows on $M$. We demonstrate that the submanifold of the…
The subsonic, compressible, potential flow around a hypersphere can be derived using the Janzen-Rayleigh expansion (JRE) of the flow potential in even powers of the incident Mach number $\mathcal{M}_\infty$. JREs were carried out with terms…
The primary bifurcation of the flow past three-dimensional axisymmetric bodies is investigated. We show that the azimuthal vorticity generated at the body surface is at the root of the instability, and that the mechanism proposed by…
In this paper, the two dimensional Euler flow under a simple symmetry condition with hyperbolic structure in a unit square $D=\{(x_1,x_2):0<x_1+x_2<\sqrt{2},0<-x_1+x_2<\sqrt{2}\}$ is considered. It is shown that the Lipschitz estimate of…
To a complex projective structure $\Sigma$ on a surface, Thurston associates a locally convex pleated surface. We derive bounds on the geometry of both in terms of the norms $\|\phi_\Sigma\|_\infty$ and $\|\phi_\Sigma\|_2$ of the quadratic…
In this note, we establish certain regularity estimates for the spinor flow introduced and initially studied in \cite{AWW2016}. Consequently, we obtain that the norm of the second order covariant derivative of the spinor field becoming…
We study high codimension mean curvature flow of a submanifold $\mathcal{M}^n$ of dimension $n$ in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ subject to the quadratic curvature condition $ |A|^{2}\leq c_n |H|^{2}, c _n = \min\{ \frac{4}{3n} ,…
Dense granular flows exhibit both surface deformation and secondary flows due to the presence of normal stress differences. Yet, a complete mathematical modelling of these two features is still lacking. This paper focuses on a steady…
