The subject of this work is the instability mechanism of simple shear flows, like Hagen-Poiseuille pipe flow, which is a long-standing problem in fluid mechanics [1,2]. A possible analogy with phenomenological theory of ideal plasticity in…

For a two-dimensional steady supersonic Euler flow past a convex cornered wall with right angle, a characteristic discontinuity (vortex sheet and/or entropy wave) is generated, which separates the supersonic flow from the gas at rest (hence…
Due to its highly oscillating solution, the Helmholtz equation is numerically challenging to solve. To obtain a reasonable solution, a mesh size that is much smaller than the reciprocal of the wavenumber is typically required (known as the…

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…
In this paper, we consider the steadiness of symmetric solutions to two dispersive models in shallow water and hyperelastic mechanics, respectively. These models are derived previously in the two-dimensional setting and can be viewed as the…
Identifying self-similarity is key to understanding and modelling a plethora of phenomena in fluid mechanics. Unfortunately, this is not always possible to perform formally in highly complex flows. We propose a methodology to extract the…

Local thermal equilibrium generally implies the absence of heat flux within a fluid. We find the relations between a set of thermodynamic variables of a fluid on a general spacetime and those defined on a conformally connected spacetime,…
