This paper concerns the dynamics of two layers of compressible, barotropic, viscous fluid lying atop one another. The lower fluid is bounded below by a rigid bottom, and the upper fluid is bounded above by a trivial fluid of constant…
We are concerned with the nonlinear stability of vortex sheets for the relativistic Euler equations in three-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. This is a nonlinear hyperbolic problem with a characteristic free boundary. In this paper, we…
In the recent Comment [V. M. Krasnov, Phys. Rev. B vol. 65, 096503 (2002)], the author claims to have ''disproved'' our theoretical conclusion [S. V. Kuplevakhsky, Phys. Rev. B vol. 60, 7496 (1999); Phys. Rev. B vol. 63, 054508 (2001)] that…
We report here, for the first time, an observed instability of a Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) nature occurring in a fully three-dimensional (3D) current-vortex sheet at the fan plane of a 3D magnetic null point. The current-vortex layer forms…
We regard the Cauchy problem for a particular Whitham-Boussinesq system modelling surface waves of an inviscid incompressible fluid layer. The system can be seen as a weak nonlocal dispersive perturbation of the shallow water system. The…
In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness of plasma-vacuum interface problem for ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics under the stability condition: the magnetic field $\mathbf{h}$ and the vacuum magnetic field…
In this paper we study the well-posedness in Sobolev spaces of the incompressible Euler equations in an infinite strip delimited from below by a non-flat bottom and from above by a free-surface. We allow the presence of vorticity and…
We consider the construction of linear instability of parallel shear flows, which was developed by Zhiwu Lin (SIAM J. Math. Anal. 35(2), 2003). We give an alternative simple proof in Sobolev setting of the problem, which exposes the…
We consider the incompressible and stationary Stokes equations on an infinite two-dimensional wedge with non-scaling invariant Navier-slip boundary conditions. We prove well-posedness and higher regularity of the Stokes problem in a certain…
We carry out particle-in-cell simulations of complex current sheets of the family of analytically found Vlasov--Maxwell equilibria that model a collisionless magnetopause and allow for arbitrary energy distributions and countercurrents of…
In this paper, we investigate the well-posedness theory for the MHD boundary layer system in two-dimensional space. The boundary layer equations are governed by the Prandtl type equations that are derived from the full incompressible MHD…
In this paper, we obtain the global-in-$x$ Sobolev stability of Prandtl layer expansions for 2-D steady incompressible MHD flows with shear outer ideal MHD flows $(1,0,\sigma,0)$ ($\sigma\geq 0$) on a moving plate. It is worth noticing that…
This paper shows that the Stokes problem is well-posed when velocity and pressure simultaneously vanish on the domain boundary. This result is achieved by extending Ne\v{c}as' inequality to square-integrable functions that vanish in a small…
It is shown that the Cauchy problem of the equations in magnetohydrodynamics in the whole space is globally well-posed for any initial smooth and localized data. In general, the mathematical structure of solution shows that the coupled…
The linear stability with variable coefficients of the vortex sheets for the two-dimensional compressible elastic flows is studied. As in our earlier work on the linear stability with constant coefficients, the problem has a free boundary…
Patch solutions for the surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) equation model sharp temperature fronts in atmospheric and oceanic flows. We establish local well-posedness for SQG sharp fronts of low Sobolev regularity, $H^{2+s}$ for arbitrarily…
We study the two-dimensional Muskat problem in a horizontally periodic setting and for fluids with arbitrary densities and viscosities. We show that in the presence of surface tension effects the Muskat problem is a quasilinear parabolic…
We consider the motion of two superposed immiscible, viscous, incompressible, capillary fluids that are separated by a sharp interface which needs to be determined as part of the problem. Allowing for gravity to act on the fluids, we prove…
We study the motion of a compressible perfect liquid body in vacuum. This can be thought of as a model for the motion of the ocean or a star. The free surface moves with the velocity of the liquid and the pressure vanishes on the free…
In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness of the free boundary problem for the incompressible Euler equations in low regularity Sobolev spaces, in which the velocity is a Lipschtiz function and the free surface belongs to…
