Dip-coating consists in withdrawing a substrate from a bath to coat it with a thin liquid layer. This process is well-understood for homogeneous fluids, but heterogeneities such as particles dispersed in the liquid lead to more complex…
Asymptotic decay laws for planar and nonplanar shock waves and the first order associated discontinuities that catch up with the shock from behind are obtained using four different approximation methods. The singular surface theory is used…
We study the gravity-driven flow of two fluid phases in a one-dimensional homogeneous porous column when history dependence of the pressure difference between the phases (capillary pressure) is taken into account. In the hyperbolic limit,…

We consider the propagation of surface water waves in a straight planar channel perturbed at the bottom by several thin curved tunnels and wells. We propose a method to construct non reflecting underwater topographies of this type at an…

Recently there has been interest in studying a new class of elastic materials, which is described by implicit constitutive relations. Under some basic assumption for elasticity constants, the system of governing equations of motion for this…
The physical quantities in a gas should vary continuously across a shock. However, the physics inherent in the compressible Euler equations is insufficient to describe the width or structure of the shock. We demonstrate the existence of…
The Cauchy problem is considered for the perturbed strictly hyperbolic 2x2 system of quasilinear equations. The unperturbed problem has a persistent solution with two discontinuity lines (shock waves). Both an asymptotics of shock waves…
