In relative locality theories the geometric properties of phase space depart from the standard ones given by the fact that spaces of momenta are linear fibers over a spacetime base manifold. In particular here it is assumed that the…
We derive the Helmholtz--Korteweg equation, which models acoustic waves in Korteweg fluids. We further derive a nematic variant of the Helmholtz-Korteweg equation, which incorporates an additional orientational term in the stress tensor.…
We study the Euler-Korteweg equations with a weak capillarity tensor. It formally converges to the Euler equations in the zero capillarity limit. Our aim is two-fold : first we prove rigorously this limit in R d , d $\ge$ 1, and obtain a…
The aim of this short paper is threefold. First, we develop an implicit generalization of a constitutive relation introduced by Korteweg [10] that can describe the phenomenon of capillarity. Second, using a sub-class of the constitutive…

This work is devoted to the study of the initial boundary value problem for a general non isothermal model of capillary fluids derived by J.E Dunn and J.Serrin (1985), which can be used as a phase transition model. We distinguish two cases,…
We establish a relative energy framework for the Euler-Korteweg system with non-convex energy. This allows us to prove weak-strong uniqueness and to show convergence to a Cahn-Hilliard system in the large friction limit. We also use…
In this article, we study the small dispersion limit of the Euler-Korteweg system in a domain with a smooth boundary and no-flux boundary conditions. We exploit a relative energy approach to study the convergence of finite energy weak…

In 1948, Schwinger developed a local Lorentz covariant formulation of relativistic quantum electrodynamics in space-time which is fundamentally inconsistent with any delocalized interpretation of quantum mechanics. An interpretation…

Quantum theory and relativity exhibit several formal analogies with fluid mechanics. This paper extends upon known analogies by showing that under specific assumptions, an Euler-Korteweg vortex model can be cast into equations that are…
Isothermal interfacial zones are investigated starting from a local energy which can be considered as the sum of two terms: one corresponding to a medium with a uniform composition equal to the local one and a second one associated with the…
Several recent papers considered the high-friction limit for systems arising in fluid mechanics. Following this approach, we rigorously derive the nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation as a limit of the nonlocal Euler-Korteweg equation using the…

An analysis is given of the local phase space of gravity coupled to matter to second order in perturbation theory. Working in local regions with boundaries at finite distance, we identify matter, Coulomb, and additional boundary modes. The…
Boundaries occur naturally in kinetic equations and boundary effects are crucial for dynamics of dilute gases governed by the Boltzmann equation. We develop a mathematical theory to study the time decay and continuity of Boltzmann solutions…
