Consider a $1$D simple small-amplitude solution $(\rho_{(bkg)}, v^1_{(bkg)})$ to the isentropic compressible Euler equations which has smooth initial data, coincides with a constant state outside a compact set, and forms a shock in finite…
A new regularisation of the shallow water (and isentropic Euler) equations is proposed. The regularised equations are non-dissipative, non-dispersive and possess a variational structure. Thus, the mass, the momentum and the energy are…
We are investigating the inviscid limit of the Navier-Stokes equation, and we find previously unknown anomalous terms in Hamiltonian, Dissipation, and Helicity, which survive this limit and define the turbulent statistics. We find various…
