We establish the existence of one-parameter families of helicoidal surfaces of $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R$ which, under mean curvature flow, simultaneously rotate about a vertical axis and translate vertically.
Over the course of studying billiard dynamics, several questions were raised. One of the questions was, which surfaces satisfy the following property (which is called Veech's dichotomy): Any direction is either completely periodic or…
This paper establishes geometric obstructions to the existence of complete, properly embedded, mean curvature flow self-translating solitons $\Sigma^n\subseteq \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, generalizing previously known non-existence conditions such…
We theoretically study the Plateau-Rayleigh instability of a thin viscous film covering a fiber consisting of a rigid cylindrical core coated with a thin compressible elastic layer. We develop a soft-lubrication model, combining the…
We consider an initial data set having a continuous symmetry and a marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) that is not preserved by this symmetry. We show that such a MOTS is unstable except in an exceptional case. In non-rotating cases we…
Guo--Tice formally established in 2011 that the Rayleigh--Taylor instability inevitably occurs within stratified compressible viscous fluids in a slab domain $\mathbb{R}^2\times (h_-,h_+)$, irrespecive of the presence of interfacial surface…
In this paper we extend three results about polycycles (also known as graphs) of planar smooth vector field to planar non-smooth vector fields (also known as piecewise vector fields, or Filippov systems). The polycycles considered here may…
The potential flow of an incompressible inviscid heavy fluid over a light one is considered. The integral version of the method of matched asymptotic expansion is applied to the construction of the solution over long intervals of time. The…
We address the asymptotic behavior of the $\alpha$-Gauss curvature flow, for $\alpha >1/2$, with initial data a complete non-compact convex hypersurface which is contained in a cylinder of bounded cross section. We show that the flow…
Abelian differentials on Riemann surfaces can be seen as translation surfaces, which are flat surfaces with cone-type singularities. Closed geodesics for the associated flat metrics form cylinders whose number under a given maximal length…
Using extended Layzer's potential flow model, we investigate the effects of surface tension on the growth of the bubble and spike in combined Rayleigh-Taylor and Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. The nonlinear asymptotic solutions are obtained…
We prove some non-existence results for the asymptotic Plateau problem of minimal and area minimizing surfaces in the homogeneous space ${\widetilde{\mathrm{SL}}_2(\mathbb{R})}$ with isometry group of dimension 4, in terms of their…
While it is well known from examples that no interesting `halfspace theorem' holds for properly immersed complete $n$-dimensional self-translating mean curvature flow solitons in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we show that they must…
We investigate the miscible Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability in both 2 and 3 dimensions using direct numerical simulations, where the working fluid is assumed incompressible under the Boussinesq approximation. We first consider the case of…
We obtain compact orientable embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature $0<H<\frac{1}{2}$ and arbitrary genus in $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$. These surfaces have dihedral symmetry and desingularize a pair of spheres with mean…
We consider the dynamics of two layers of incompressible electrically conducting fluid interacting with the magnetic field, which are confined within a 3D horizontally infinite slab and separated by a free internal interface. We assume that…
A slender thread of elastic hydrogel is susceptible to a surface instability that is reminiscent of the classical Rayleigh-Plateau instability of liquid jets. The final, highly nonlinear states that are observed in experiments arise from a…

In this paper, we study evolved surfaces over convex planar domains which are evolving by the minimal surface flow $$u_{t}= div\left(\frac{Du}{\sqrt{1+|Du|^2}}\right)-H(x,Du).$$ Here, we specify the angle of contact of the evolved surface…
In this paper, we classify all noncollapsed singularity models for the mean curvature flow of 3-dimensional hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ or more generally in $4$-manifolds. Specifically, we prove that every noncollapsed translating…
