A basic example of shear flow was introduced by DiPerna and Majda to study the weak limit of oscillatory solutions of the Euler equations of incompressible ideal fluids. In particular, they proved by means of this example that weak limit of…
Guderley's 1942 work on radial shock waves provides cases of self-similar Euler flows exhibiting blowup of primary (undifferentiated) flow variables: a converging shock wave invades a quiescent region, and the velocity and pressure in its…
The dynamics of large eddies in the atmosphere and oceans is described by the surface quasi geostrophic equation, which is reminiscent of the Euler equations. Thermal fronts build up rapidly. Two different numerical methods combined with…
We consider the motion of an axisymmetric column of Navier-Stokes fluid with a free surface. Due to surface tension, the thickness of the fluid neck goes to zero in finite time. After the singularity, the fluid consists of two halves, which…

We consider the Cauchy problem for the equations of pressureless gases in two space dimensions. For a generic set of smooth initial data (density and velocity), it is known that the solution loses regularity at a finite time $t_0$, where…
We develop a general framework for studying non-uniqueness of the Riemann problem for the isentropic compressible Euler system in two spatial dimensions, and in this paper we present the most delicate result of our method: non-uniqueness of…
We study the Cauchy problem for the isentropic hypo-viscous compressible Navier-Stokes equations (CNS) under general pressure laws in all dimensions $d\geq 2$. For all hypo-viscosities $(-\Delta)^\alpha$ with $\alpha\in (0,1)$, we prove…
Einstein equations are addressed with the energy-momentum tensor that appears if the equations under discussion are required to possess conformal invariance. It is proved that thus derived equations (equations of conformally invariant…
Using a very high precision spectral calculation applied to the incompressible and inviscid flow with initial condition $\psi_0(x_1, x_2) = \cos x_1+\cos 2x_2$, we find that the width $\delta(t)$ of its analyticity strip follows a…
