We study a semilinear elliptic problem with a singular nonlinear term of the type $g(u)=-u^{-1}$, using a variational approach. Note that the minus sign is important since the corresponding term in the Euler-Lagrange functional is concave.…
The 3D incompressible Euler equations in a bounded domain are most often supplemented with impermeable boundary conditions, which constrain the fluid to neither enter nor leave the domain. We establish well-posedness with inflow, outflow of…
We present a detailed study of rectilinear shear deformation in the framework of orthotropic nonlinear elasticity, under Dirichlet and mixed-boundary conditions. We take a slab made of a soft matrix, reinforced with two families of…
In rough-wall boundary layers, wall-parallel non-homogeneous mean-flow solutions exist that lead to so-called dispersive velocity components and dispersive stresses. They play a significant role in the mean-flow momentum balance near the…
We study the long-time behavior of scale-invariant solutions of the 2d Euler equation satisfying a discrete symmetry. We show that all scale-invariant solutions with bounded variation on $\mathbb{S}^1$ relax to states that are piece-wise…
We consider Euler's equations for free surface waves traveling on a body of density stratified water in the scenario when gravity and surface tension act as restoring forces. The flow is continuously stratified, and the water layer is…
