According to DiPerna-Lions theory, velocity fields with weak derivatives in $L^p$ spaces possess weakly regular flows. When a velocity field is perturbed by a white noise, the corresponding (stochastic) flow is far more regular in spatial…

A Maxwell-Stefan system for fluid mixtures with driving forces depending on Cahn-Hilliard-type chemical potentials is analyzed. The corresponding parabolic cross-diffusion equations contain fourth-order derivatives and are considered in a…
In Hele-Shaw flows, boundaries between fluids develop unstable viscous fingers. At vanishing surface tension, the fingers further evolve to cusp-like singularities. We show that the problem admits a {\it weak solution} where shock fronts…
