We prove shock formation results for the compressible Euler equations and related systems of conservation laws in one space dimension, or three dimensions with spherical symmetry. We establish an $L^\infty$ bound for $C^1$ solutions of the…
In this paper we study the finite time blow-up problem for the axisymmetric 3D incompressible Euler equations with swirl. The evolution equations for the deformation tensor and the vorticity are reduced considerably in this case. Under the…
In this paper, we introduce and study the conformal mean curvature flow of submanifolds of higher codimension in the Euclidean space $\bbr^n$. This kind of flow is a special case of a general modified mean curvature flow which is of various…
Two dimensional active fluids display a transition from turbulent to coherent flow upon decreasing the size of the confining geometry. A recent experiment suggests that the behavior in three dimensions is remarkably different; emergent…
We consider the formation of singularities along the Calabi flow with the assumption of the uniform Sobolev constant. In particular, on K\"ahler surface we show that any "maximal bubble" has to be a scalar flat ALE K\"ahler metric. In some…
We study the interaction between the stability, and the propagation of regularity, for solutions to the incompressible 3D Euler equation. It is still unknown whether a solution with smooth initial data can develop a singularity in finite…
We establish a new a priori estimate on solutions to the space-inhomogeneous Landau and Boltzmann equations. As a consequence, we prove a new continuation criterion, based on a weighted $L^\infty$-norm, without requiring bounds on the…
We consider the compressible three dimensional Navier Stokes and Euler equations. In a suitable regime of barotropic laws, we construct a set of finite energy smooth initial data for which the corresponding solutions to both equations…
Blowups of vorticity for the three- and two- dimensional homogeneous Euler equations are studied. Two regimes of approaching a blowup points, respectively, with variable or fixed time are analysed. It is shown that in the $n$-dimensional…
We study the singularity formation of smooth solutions of the relativistic Euler equations in $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetime for both finite initial energy and infinite initial energy. For the finite initial energy case, we prove that any…
We prove a blow-up criterion in terms of an $L_2$-bound of the curvature for solutions to the curve diffusion flow if the maximal time of existence is finite. In our setting, we consider an evolving family of curves driven by curve…
A nontrivial smooth steady incompressible Euler flow in three dimensions with compact support is constructed. Another uncommon property of this solution is the dependence between the Bernoulli function and the pressure.
The aim of this article is to study the limiting behavior of the solutions for the scaled generalized Euler equations of compressible fluid flow. When the initial data is of Riemann type, we showed the existence of solution which consists…
In the paper, the shock formation for the two-dimensional rotating shallow water system is established. We construct a large class of initial data which leads to the finite-time blow-up for the solutions. Moreover, the solutions are allowed…
Solutions to the compressible Euler equations in all dimensions have been shown to develop finite-time singularities from smooth initial data such as shocks and cusps. There is an extraordinary list of results on this subject. When the…
The transition to turbulence in pipe flow does not follow the scenario familiar from Rayleigh-Benard or Taylor-Couette flow since the laminar profile is stable against infinitesimal perturbations for all Reynolds numbers. Moreover, even…
As is well known, for the harmonic heat flow or liquid crystal flow in two-dimension, the solution may blow up when the initial energy is greater than $8\pi$. Motivated by Lai--Lin--Wang--Wei--Zhou (CPAM, 2022), where singular solutions…
