This paper is concerned with a rigorous convergence analysis of a fully discrete Lagrangian scheme for the Hele-Shaw flow, which is the fourth order thin-film equation with linear mobility in one space dimension. The discretization is based…
Hele-Shaw problems are prototypes to study the interface dynamics. Linear theory suggests the existence of self-similar patterns in a Hele-Shaw flow. That is, with a specific injection flux the interface shape remains unchanged while its…
Theoretical results on the dynamics of dislocations in Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are reported both for Swift-Hohenberg models and the Boussinesq equations. For intermediate Prandtl numbers the motion of dislocations is found to be driven…
We investigate the Cahn-Hilliard equation with nonlinear diffusion and non-degenerate mobility modeling phase separation phenomena in complex systems (e.g., crystals and polymers). Previous results in the literature on this model relied on…

We analyze flow of non-Newtonian fluids in a Hele-Shaw cell, subjected to spatially non-uniform electroosmotic slip. Motivated by their potential use for increasing the characteristic pressure fields, we specifically focus on power-law…

We study the exact non-singular zero-surface tension solutions of the Saffman-Taylor problem for all times. We show that all moving logarithmic singularities a_k(t) in the complex plane \omega = e^{i\phi}, where \phi is the stream function,…
Taking into account the global one-dimensionality conjecture recently proposed by the author, the Cauchy-like analytical wave functional of the Wheeler-DeWitt theory is derived. The crucial point of the integration strategy is canceling of…
We introduce and investigate a generalization of the Hele-Shaw flow with injection where several droplets compete for space as they try to expand due to internal pressure while still preserving their topology. Droplets are described by…
We study a Cahn-Hilliard-Hele-Shaw (or Cahn-Hilliard-Darcy) system for an incompressible mixture of two fluids. The relative concentration difference $\varphi$ is governed by a convective nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation with degenerate…
In the paper, we are concerned with the large time asymptotics toward the viscous contact waves for solutions of the Landau equation with physically realistic Coulomb interactions. Precisely, for the corresponding Cauchy problem in the…
A new class of solutions to Laplacian growth with zero surface tension is presented and shown to contain all other known solutions as special or limiting cases. These solutions, which are time-dependent conformal maps with branch cuts…
This paper considers steady surface waves `riding' a Beltrami flow (a three-dimensional flow with parallel velocity and vorticity fields). It is demonstrated that the hydrodynamic problem can be formulated as two equations for two scalar…
We revisit the method of characteristics for shock wave solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic problems and we describe a novel numerical algorithm - the convex hull algorithm (CHA) - in order to compute, both, entropy dissipative solutions…
The Saffman-Taylor viscous fingering problem is investigated for the displacement of a non-Newtonian fluid by a Newtonian one in a radial Hele-Shaw cell. We execute a mode-coupling approach to the problem and examine the morphology of the…
We devise a stochastic Hamiltonian formulation of the water wave problem. This stochastic representation is built within the framework of the modelling under location uncertainty. Starting from restriction to the free surface of the general…

The Hele-Shaw experiment is performed with a circular invasion to study the scaling and dynamic behavior of the interface. We did not find any universal power law. The time exponent varies with the range of scale, as has been reported in…
