In this paper, we present a new framework for the global well-posedness and large-time behavior of a two-phase flow system, which consists of the pressureless Euler equations and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled through the…
We prove that the maximum norm of the deformation tensor of velocity gradients controls the possible breakdown of smooth(strong) solutions for the 3-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which will happen, for example, if the…

The aim of this paper is to analyze a mixed formulation for the two dimensional Stokes eigenvalue problem where the unknowns are the stress and the velocity, whereas the pressure can be recovered with a simple postprocess of the stress. The…
The lowest drag shape of fixed volume in Stokes flow has been known for some 40 years. It is front-back symmetric and similar to an American football with ends tangent to a cone of 60 degrees. The analogous convex axisymmetric shape of…
In this paper we study the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations on the $d$-dimensional torus with transport noise, which arise in the study of turbulent flows. Under very weak smoothness assumptions on the data we prove local well-posedness…

We consider a microscopic model of $n$ identical axis-symmetric rigid Brownian particles suspended in a Stokes flow. We rigorously derive in the homogenization limit of many small particles a classical formula for the viscoelastic stress…
Given a one-dimensional stochastic differential equation, one can associate to this equation a stochastic flow on $[0,+\infty )$, which has an absorbing barrier at zero. Then one can define its dual stochastic flow. In \cite{AW}, Akahori…
We suggested a one-fluid model of a turbulent dilute suspension which accounts for the ``two-way'' fluid-particle interactions by $k$-dependent effective density of suspension and additional damping term in the Navier-Stokes equation. We…
An analytic, asymptotic approximation of the nonlinear steady-state equations for viscoelastic creeping flow, modeled by the Oldroyd-B equations with polymer stress diffusion, is derived. Near the extensional stagnation point the flow…
In this paper we study obstacles immerged in a Stokes flow with Navier boundary conditions. We prove the existence and regularity of an obstacle with minimal drag, among all shapes of prescribed volume and controlled surface area, taking…
In this work, we propose and test a method for calculating Stokes drag applicable to particle-laden fluid flows where two-way momentum coupling is important. In the point-particle formulation, particle dynamics are coupled to fluid dynamics…
If stiff inclusions are closely located, then the stress, which is the gradient of the solution, may become arbitrarily large as the distance between two inclusions tends to zero. In this paper we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the…
In this paper, we consider a stationary, constant viscosity, incompressible Stokes flow with singular forces along one or several interfaces. Assuming only the jumps of the pressure are present along the interface, we develop a new…
A simple theory, based on observations of snowflake distribution in a turbulent flow, is proposed to model the growth of inertial particles as a result of dynamic clustering at scales larger than the Kolmogorov length scale. Particles able…
