A numerical procedure was developed for solving equations for compressible granular multiphase flows in which the particle volume fraction can range dynamically from very dilute to very dense. The procedure uses a low-dissipation and…
This paper aims to quantitatively relate the energy dissipated at a shock wave in a nonlinearly elastic bar to the energy in the oscillations in two related dissipationless, dispersive systems. In contrast to a phase boundary, there is no…
We present a new rigorous method for estimating statistical quantities in fluid dynamics such as the (average) energy dissipation rate directly from the equations of motion. The method is tested on shear flow, channel flow,…
Fluids can behave in a highly irregular, turbulent way. It has long been realised that, therefore, some weak notion of solution is required when studying the fundamental partial differential equations of fluid dynamics, such as the…

We investigate the run-up of a shock wave from inside to the surface of a perfect fluid star in equilibrium and bounded by vacuum. Near the surface we approximate the fluid motion as plane-symmetric and the gravitational field as constant.…

Strong discontinuities in solutions of the gas dynamic equations under isentropic conditions, i.e., with continuity of entropy at the discontinuity, are examined. Solutions for a standard shock wave with continuity of energy at the…

A $p$-adic hydrodynamic type equation with two integrals of motion is proposed. It can be considered as a model cascade equation for energy dissipation in fully developed turbulence. Some of special cases of the proposed equation are…

Hydrodynamics is the appropriate "effective theory" for describing any fluid medium at sufficiently long length scales. This paper treats the vacuum as such a medium and derives the corresponding hydrodynamic equations. Unlike a normal…
Constrained gradient flows are studied in fracture mechanics to describe strongly irreversible (or unidirectional) evolution of cracks. The present paper is devoted to a study on the long-time behavior of non-compact orbits of such…
New exact solutions of relativistic perfect fluid hydrodynamics are described, including the first family of exact rotating solutions. The method used to search for them is an investigation of the relativistic hydrodynamical equations and…
The physical quantities in a gas should vary continuously across a shock. However, the physics inherent in the compressible Euler equations is insufficient to describe the width or structure of the shock. We demonstrate the existence of…
We investigate the creation and properties of eventual vacuum regions in the weak solutions of the continuity equation, in general, and in the weak solutions of compressible Navier--Stokes equations, in particular. The main results are…
A fluid flow is described by fictitious particles hopping on homogeneously distributed nodes with a given finite set of discrete velocities. We emphasize that the existence of a fictitious particle having a discrete velocity among the set…
We reconsider some fundamental aspects of the fluid mechanics model, and the derivation of continuum flow equations from gas kinetic theory. Two topologies for fluid representation are presented, and a set of macroscopic equations are…
