We consider four-dimensional Euclidean gravity in a finite cavity. Dirichlet conditions do not yield a well-posed elliptic system, and Anderson has suggested boundary conditions that do. Here we point out that there exists a one-parameter…
For a manifold-with-boundary moving by mean curvature flow, the entropy at a later time is bounded by the entropy at an earlier time plus a boundary term. This paper controls the boundary term in a geometrically natural way. In particular,…
We consider the stability of two-dimensional viscous flows in an annulus with permeable boundary. In the basic flow, the velocity has nonzero azimuthal and radial components, and the direction of the radial flow can be from the inner…

Using a dynamic Surface Force Apparatus, we demonstrate that the notion of slip length used to describe the boundary flow of simple liquids, is not appropriate for viscoelastic liquids. Rather, the appropriate description lies in the…
In the first of two papers, we study the initial boundary-value problem that underlies the theory of the Boltzmann equation for general non-spherical hard particles. In this work, for two congruent ellipses and for a large class of…
The particles on demand (PonD) method is a new kinetic theory model that allows for simulation of high speed compressible flows. While standard Lattice-Boltzmann is limited by a fixed reference frame, significantly reducing the range of…
The rigorous justification of the hydrodynamic limits of kinetic equations in bounded domains has been actively investigated in recent years. In spite of the progress for the diffuse-reflection boundary case, the more challenging in-flow…

We investigate the steady self-propelled motion of a rigid body immersed in a three-dimensional incompressible viscous fluid governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. The analysis is performed in a body-fixed reference frame, so that the…
Hamiltonian variational principles provided, since 60s, the means of developing very successful wave theories for nonlinear free-surface flows, under the assumption of irrotationality. This success, in conjunction with the recognition that…
