We consider limits of weakly converging $W^{1,2}$-maps $\Phi_k$ from a ball $B \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ which are conformal immersions. Under the assumption that a normal curvature term is small, namely if for the normal…

Lattice-Boltzmann methods are established mesoscopic numerical schemes for fluid flow, that recover the evolution of macroscopic quantities (viz., velocity and pressure fields) evolving under macroscopic target equations. The approximated…

In this paper, we will consider the generalized Forchheimer flows for slightly compressible fluids. Using Muskat's and Ward's general form of Forchheimer equations, we describe the fluid dynamics by a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation…

An elementary analytical fluid flow is composed by a geometric domain, a list of analytical constraints and by the function which depends on the physical properties, as Reynolds number, of the considered fluid. For this object, notions of…

While there are various results on the long-time behavior of the Willmore flow, the Helfrich flow with non-zero spontaneous curvature as its natural generalization is not yet well-understood. Past results for the gradient flow of a locally…

Conservation laws are usually studied in the context of sufficient regularity conditions imposed on the flux function, usually $C^{2}$ and uniform convexity. Some results are proven with the aid of variational methods and a unique minimizer…

The sliced-Wasserstein flow is an evolution equation where a probability density evolves in time, advected by a velocity field computed as the average among directions in the unit sphere of the optimal transport displacements from its 1D…

In this thesis we consider the free surface flow due to a submerged source in a channel of finite depth. This problem has been considered previously in the literature, with some disagreement about whether or not a train of waves exist on…

This paper presents an existence theory for solitary waves at the interface between a thin ice sheet (modelled using the Cosserat theory of hyperelastic shells) and an ideal fluid (of finite depth and in irrotational motion) for…

The Willmore conjecture states that any immersion F:T^2 -> R^n of a 2-torus into flat euclidean space satisfies $\int_{T^2} H^2\geq 2\pi^2$. We prove it under the condition that the L^p-norm of the Gaussian curvature is sufficiently small.

For any initial datum $\theta_0\in L^{\frac{4}{3}}_x$ it is proved the existence of a global-in-time weak solution $\theta \in L^\infty_t L^{\frac43}_x$ to the surface quasi-geostrophic equation whose Hamiltonian, i.e. the…

In L.W. Flinn's PhD thesis published in 1972, the author conjectured that weakly expansive flows are also expansive flows. In this paper we use the horocycle flow on compact Riemann surfaces of constant negative curvature to show that…

For a bounded smooth domain in the plane and smooth boundary data we consider the minimisation of the Willmore functional for graphs subject to Dirichlet or Navier boundary conditions. For $H^2$-regular graphs we show that bounds for the…

We investigate the mass-preserving $L^2$-gradient flow associated with a generalized Cahn--Hilliard equation. Our focus is on the sharp interface regime, where the interface width parameter $\varepsilon > 0$ is small. For well-prepared…

We discuss in this paper phase-field approximations of the Willmore functional and the associated L2-flow. After recollecting known results on the approximation of the Willmore energy and its L1-relaxation, we derive the expression of the…

We study curvature functionals for immersed 2-spheres in non-compact, three-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,h)$ without boundary. First, under the assumption that $(M,h)$ is the euclidean 3-space endowed with a semi-perturbed metric…

We study the dynamics of compressible fluids in rotating heterogeneous porous media. The fluid flow is of {F}orchheimer-type and is subject to a mixed mass and volumetric flux boundary condition. The governing equations are reduced to a…

We show that there exist asymptotically flat almost-smooth initial data for Einstein-perfect fluid's equation that represent an isolated liquid-type body. By liquid-type body we mean that the fluid energy density has compact support and…

We study the sublevel sets of the Willmore energy on the space of smoothly immersed $ 2 $-spheres in Euclidean $ 3 $-space. We show that the subset of immersions with energy at most $ 12\pi $ consists of four regular homotopy classes.…
