In this paper we study the locomotion of a shape-changing body swimming in a two-dimensional perfect fluid of infinite extent. The shape-changes are prescribed as functions of time satisfying constraints ensuring that they result from the…
We consider a rigid body freely moving in a compressible inviscid fluid within a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. The fluid is thereby governed by the non necessarily isentropic compressible Euler equations, while the rigid body…
In fairly general conditions we give explicit (smooth) solutions for the potential flow. We show that, rigorously speaking, the equations of the fluid mechanics have not rotational solutions. However, within the usual approximations of an…

We consider the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid on a compact Riemannian manifold $\sM$ with boundary. The motion on $\sM$ is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the fluid is subject to pure or partial slip…
We study the motion of an incompressible fluid in an $n+1$-dimensional infinite pipe $\,\La\,$ with an $L$-periodic shape in the $z=x_{n+1}$ direction. We set $\,x=(x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_{n})$, and $z=x_{n+1}$. We denote by $\Sigma_z$ the cross…
We introduce and investigate the wellposedness of two models describing the self-propelled motion of a "small bio-mimetic swimmer" in the 2D and 3D incompressible fluids modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations. It is assumed that the…
We study a moving boundary value problem consisting of a viscous incompressible fluid moving and interacting with a nonlinear elastic solid shell. The fluid motion is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, while the shell is modeled by…
Consider the motion of the the coupled system, $\mathscr S$, constituted by a (non-necessarily symmetric) top, $\mathscr B$, with an interior cavity, $\mathscr C$, completely filled up with a Navier-Stokes liquid, $\mathscr L$. A particular…
In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of viscous incompressible 2D flow in the exterior of a small material obstacle. We fix the initial vorticity $\omega_0$ and the circulation $\gamma$ of the initial flow around the obstacle. We…
Typically the motion of self-propelled active particles is described in a quiescent environment establishing an inertial frame of reference. Here we assume that friction, self-propulsion and uctuations occur relative to a non-inertial frame…
We analyze the steady motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in a three-dimensional channel containing an obstacle through the Navier-Stokes equations with mixed boundary conditions: the inflow is given by a fairly general datum and the…
We consider the evolution of a small rigid body in an incompressible viscous fluid filling the whole space. The motion of the fluid is modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations, whereas the motion of the rigid body is described by the…
The steady motion of a viscous incompressible fluid through a sieve (that is, a wall perforated with a large number of small holes), in a pipe of finite length, is modeled through the Navier-Stokes equations under mixed boundary conditions…
Consider the Navier-Stokes flow past a rotating obstacle with a general time-dependent angular velocity and a time-dependent outflow condition at infinity. After rewriting the problem on a fixed domain, one obtains a non-autonomous system…
A rigid body, with an interior cavity entirely filled with a Navier-Stokes liquid, moves in absence of external torques relative to the center of mass of the coupled system body-liquid (inertial motions). The only steady-state motions…
We introduce a new modified Navier-Stokes model in $3$ dimensions by modifying the convection term in the ordinary Navier-Stokes equations. This is done by replacing the convective term $(\textbf{u}\cdot \nabla) \textbf{u}$ by…
A mechanism for self propulsion of deformable vesicle has been proposed, vesicle moves by sensing the self-generated chemical gradient. Like many molecular motors they suffer strong perturbations from the environment in which they move as a…

We consider the problem of a body moving within an incompressible fluid at constant speed parallel to a wall, in an otherwise unbounded domain. This situation is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in an exterior domain in…
