The general stability criteria of inviscid Taylor-Couette flows with angular velocity $\Omega(r)$ are obtained analytically. First, a necessary instability criterion for centrifugal flows is derived as $\xi'(\Omega-\Omega_s)<0$ (or…
We analyze the shock formation process for the 3d non-isentropic Euler equations with the ideal gas law, in which sounds waves interact with entropy waves to produce vorticity. Building on our theory for isentropic flows in [3,4], we give a…
We prove conditions for global nonlinear stability of Oldroyd-B viscoelatic fluid flows in the Couette shear flow geometry. Global stability is inferred by analysing a new functional, called a perturbation entropy, to quantify the magnitude…

We consider the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations in a finite cylinder $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. We assume that $v_r$, $v_\varphi$, $\omega_\varphi$ vanish on the lateral boundary $\partial \Omega$ of the cylinder, and that $v_z$,…
We show that the multi-dimensional compressible Euler system for isothermal flow of an ideal, polytropic gas admits global-in-time, radially symmetric solutions with unbounded amplitudes due to wave focusing. The examples are similarity…
We consider integral area-minimizing $2$-dimensional currents $T$ in $U\subset \mathbb R^{2+n}$ with $\partial T = Q[\![\Gamma]\!]$, where $Q\in \mathbb N \setminus \{0\}$ and $\Gamma$ is sufficiently smooth. We prove that, if $q\in \Gamma$…
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…
For a class of ordinary differential operators $P$ with polynomial coefficients, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $P$ to be globally regular in $\R$, i.e. $u\in\cS^\prime(\R)$ and $Pu\in\cS(\R)$ imply $u\in \cS(\R)$ (this…
We review and apply the continuous symmetry approach to find the solution of the 3D Euler fluid equations in several instances of interest, via the construction of constants of motion and infinitesimal symmetries, without recourse to…
The 2D Euler system, which governs inviscid incompressible fluid flow, can admit infinitely many steady solutions in a given domain with slip boundary conditions. To select physical classical solutions, we investigate the vanishing…

This paper presents the linear global stability analysis of the incompressible axisymmetric boundary layer on a circular cylinder. The base flow is parallel to the axis of the cylinder at inlet. The pressure gradient is zero in the…
The Cauchy problem for a quasilinear system of hyperbolic equations describing plane one-dimensional relativistic oscillations of electrons in a cold plasma is considered. For some simplified formulation of the problem, a criterion for the…
For all $\epsilon>0$, we prove the existence of finite-energy strong solutions to the axi-symmetric $3D$ Euler equations on the domains $ \{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3: (1+\epsilon|z|)^2\leq x^2+y^2\}$ which become singular in finite time. We…
We study the global existence and stability of surface diffusion flow (the normal velocity is given by the Laplacian of the mean curvature) of smooth boundaries of subsets of the $n$--dimensional flat torus. More precisely, we show that if…
In this expository note we discuss our recent work [arXiv:1306.5028] on the nonlinear asymptotic stability of shear flows in the 2D Euler equations of ideal, incompressible flow. In that work it is proved that perturbations to the Couette…
We consider a family of 3D models for the axi-symmetric incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The models are derived by changing the strength of the convection terms in the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations written using a set of…
