Over the past few years, we developed a mathematically rigorous method to study the dynamical processes associated to nonlinear Forchheimer flows for slightly compressible fluids. We have proved the existence of a geometric transformation…
Fluids with shear-rate-dependent viscosity form a special class of non-Newtonian fluids that play a crucial role in continuum dynamics. We consider a compressible barotropic flow of such fluids, governed by a generalized Navier-Stokes…
We reveal that realistic fluids generate microscopic-level discontinuity constantly and the discontinuity spreads out with motion of particles rather rapidly and widely. These things cannot be treated by the standard kinetic equations, and…
A tube conveying a large amount of fluid with a free outlet does not sit still. We construct and analyze a nonlinear evolution equation describing such phenomena. Two types of boundary conditions at the inlet are considered, one for which…

An analytical theory is developed to describe the dynamics of a closed lipid bilayer membrane (vesicle) freely suspended in a general linear flow. Considering a nearly spherical shape, the solution to the creeping-flow equations is obtained…
We study area- and length-preserving curvature flows for embedded closed curves on pinched Hadamard surfaces. In the variable-curvature setting, the evolution equations contain additional lower-order terms, so the PDE analysis requires…
We introduce a notion of stability for non-autonomous Hamiltonian flows on two-dimensional annular surfaces. This notion of stability is designed to capture the sustained twisting of particle trajectories. The main Theorem is applied to…
A partially hinged, partially free rectangular plate is considered, with the aim to address the possible unstable end behaviors of a suspension bridge subject to wind. This leads to a nonlinear plate evolution equation with a nonlocal…
We study the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for scalar conservation laws with discontinuous, non-degenerate fluxes. Locally, the fluxes are piecewise smooth across interfaces described by a Heaviside-type discontinuity, with left and…
An easy-plane spin winding in a quantum spin chain can be treated as a transport quantity, which propagates along the chain but has a finite lifetime due to phase slips. In a hydrodynamic formulation for the winding dynamics, the quantum…
Flow instability and turbulent transition can be well explained using a new proposed theory--Energy gradient theory [1]. In this theory, the stability of a flow depends on the relative magnitude of energy gradient in streamwise direction…
We prove the well-posedness of entropy weak solutions for a class of space-discontinuous scalar conservation laws with non-local flux arising in traffic modeling. We approximate the problem adding a viscosity term and we provide $L^\infty$…
In this paper, we consider a kind of area preserving non-local flow for convex curves in the plane. We show that the flow exists globally, the length of evolving curve is non-increasing, and the curve converges to a circle in C^{\infty}…
This paper addresses the issue of the formulation of weak solutions to systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws as integral balance laws. The basic idea is that the "meaningful objects" are the fluxes, evaluated across domain…
Several non-local curvature flows for plane curves with a general rotation number are discussed in this work. The types of flows include the area-preserving flow and the length-preserving flow. We have a relatively good understanding of…
This paper is concerned with qualitative properties of bounded steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stagnation point in the two-dimensional plane R^2. We show that any such flow is a shear flow, that is, it is parallel to…
We introduce a geometric evolution equation for 3-manifolds with sectional curvature of one sign which is in some sense dual to the Ricci flow. On a closed 3-manifold with negative sectional curvature, we establish short time existence and…
