Despite its importance, there have been few PDE results to investigate Prandtl layers for compressible fluids, in which the thermal boundary layer for the temperature field interacts with the classical velocity Prandtl boundary layer in a…
We present the results of a combined theoretical and experimental investigation into the vertical dynamics of floating discs subjected to an imposed time-periodic forcing. The axisymmetric and inviscid wavefield is governed by a linear…
We present a method to impose linear shear flow in discrete-velocity kinetic models of hydrodynamics through the use of sliding periodic boundary conditions. Our method is derived by an explicit coarse-graining of the Lees-Edwards boundary…
This paper concerns the large Reynold number limits and asymptotic behaviors of solutions to the 2D steady Navier-Stokes equations in an infinitely long convergent channel. It is shown that for a general convergent infinitely long nozzle…
We develop a model for steady, laminar boundary layers over small-scale textured surfaces. Although the texture is small relative to the boundary-layer thickness, it modifies the flow via a slip length. We use matched asymptotic expansions…
In this paper, we validate the boundary layer theory for 2D steady viscous incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a domain $\{(X, Y)\in[0, L]\times\mathbb{R}_+\}$ under the assumption of a moving boundary at $\{Y=0\}$. The…
In this dissertation two-dimensional buoyancy-driven flows are investigated. While usually the Navier-Stokes equations are equipped with no-slip boundary conditions here we focus on the Navier-slip conditions that, depending on the system…
In this paper, we study the back flow of the two-dimensional unsteady Prandtl boundary layer under an adverse pressure gradient. The occurrence of back flow is an important physical event in the evolution of boundary layer, which eventually…
We consider the Prandtl boundary layer equations on the half plane, with initial datum that lies in a weighted $H^1$ space with respect to the normal variable, and is real-analytic with respect to the tangential variable. The boundary trace…
We consider the incompressible Euler equations in a bounded domain in three space dimensions. Recently, the first two authors proved Onsager's conjecture for bounded domains, i.e., that the energy of a solution to these equations is…
In this article we reconsider high Reynolds number boundary layer flows of fluids with viscoelastic properties. We show that a number of previous studies that have attempted to address this problem are, in fact, incomplete. We correctly…
The 3D incompressible Euler equations in a bounded domain are most often supplemented with impermeable boundary conditions, which constrain the fluid to neither enter nor leave the domain. We establish well-posedness with inflow, outflow of…
The ultimate goal of a sound theory of turbulence in fluids is to close in a rational way the Reynolds equations, namely to express the tensor of turbulent stress as a function of the time average of the velocity field. Based on the idea…
In $1962$, Yudovich proved the existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the 2D incompressible Euler equations in the case where the fluid occupies a bounded domain with entering and exiting flows on some parts of the boundary. The…
The stability and dynamics of nonlinear Schrodinger superflows past a two-dimensional disk are investigated using a specially adapted pseudo-spectral method based on mapped Chebychev polynomials. This efficient numerical method allows the…
In the present paper, we define the sheath by a monotone stationary solution to the nonisentropic Euler-Poisson system under a condition known as the Bohm criterion and consider a situation in which charged particles accumulate on the…
This paper concerns the validity of the Prandtl boundary layer theory for steady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flows over a rotating disk. We prove that the Navier Stokes flows can be decomposed into Euler and Prandtl flows in the inviscid…
Numerical simulations of rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection are presented for both no slip and free slip boundaries. The goal is to find a criterion distinguishing convective flows dominated by the Coriolis force from those nearly…
