It is still not known whether a solution to the incompressible Euler equation, endowed with a smooth initial value, can blow-up in finite time. In [{\em Comm. Math. Phys.}, 378:557--568, 2020] it has been shown that, if it exists, such a…

In this paper, we first revisit the celebrated Boussinesq approximation in stratified flows. Using scaling arguments we show that when the background shear is weak, the Boussinesq approximation yields either (i) $A_t\ll \mathcal{O}(1)$ or…

This paper investigates the Cauchy problem for the compressible pressureless Navier-Stokes system in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $d \geq 2$. Unlike the standard isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes system, the density in the pressureless model…
We study the spectral problems for the spatially periodic flows of inviscid incompressible fluid. The basic flows under consideration are the shear flows whose profiles oscillate on high frequencies. For such flows, we present asymptotic…
We prove asymptotic stability of shear flows close to the planar Couette flow in the 2D inviscid Euler equations on $\Torus \times \Real$. That is, given an initial perturbation of the Couette flow small in a suitable regularity class,…
