Convex integration has revealed that the Euler system of gas dynamics is ill-posed in the class of weak solutions even if the entropy inequality is imposed as an additional constraint. A natural question arises, namely, if a physically…

In this work, we introduce a notion of dissipative weak solution for a system describing the evolution of a heat-conducting incompressible non-Newtonian fluid. This concept of solution is based on the balance of entropy instead of the…
We consider the compressible isentropic Euler equations on $\mathbb{T}^d\times [0,T]$ with a pressure law $p\in C^{1,\gamma-1}$, where $1\le \gamma <2$. This includes all physically relevant cases, e.g.\ the monoatomic gas. We investigate…

Compressible (full) potential flow is expressed as an equivalent first-order system of conservation laws for density $\rho$ and velocity $v$. Energy $E$ is shown to be the only nontrivial entropy for that system in multiple space…
We establish a weak-strong uniqueness principle for solutions to entropy-dissipating reaction-diffusion equations: As long as a strong solution to the reaction-diffusion equation exists, any weak solution and even any renormalized solution…
Partial differential equations (PDEs) describing thermodynamically isolated systems typically possess conserved quantities (like mass, momentum, and energy) and dissipated quantities (like entropy). Preserving these conservation and…
We analyze a class of linear shell models subject to stochastic forcing in finitely many degrees of freedom. The unforced systems considered formally conserve energy. Despite being formally conservative, we show that these dynamical systems…
We propose a general strategy for enforcing multiple conservation laws and dissipation inequalities in the numerical solution of initial value problems. The key idea is to represent each conservation law or dissipation inequality by means…
We introduce the concept of energy-variational solutions for hyperbolic conservation laws. Intrinsically, these energy-variational solutions fulfill the weak-strong uniqueness principle and the semi-flow property, and the set of solutions…
In this article we focus our attention on the principle of energy conservation within the context of systems of fluid dynamics. We give an overview of results concerning the resolution of the famous Onsager conjecture - which states…
We establish a weak-strong uniqueness result for the isentropic compressible Euler equations, that is: As long as a sufficiently regular solution exists, all energy-admissible weak solutions with the same initial data coincide with it. The…
For $2\X2$ systems of conservation laws satisfying Bakhvalov conditions, we present a class of damping terms that still yield the existence of global solutions with periodic initial data of possibly large bounded total variation per period.…

The dissipative solutions can be seen as a convenient generalization of the concept of weak solution to the isentropic Euler system. They can be seen as expectations of the Young measures associated to a suitable measure--valued solution of…
