Internally heated convection involves the transfer of heat by fluid motion between a distribution of sources and sinks. Focusing on the balanced case where the total heat added by the sources matches the heat taken away by the sinks, we…

We consider a solution $u(\cdot,t)$ to an initial boundary value problem for time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with the order $\alpha \in (0,2) \setminus \{ 1\}$ where $t$ is a time variable. We first prove that a suitable norm of…

We discuss $L^p$ integrability estimates for the solution $u$ of the advection-diffusion equation $\partial_t u + \mathrm{div} (bu) = \Delta u$, where the velocity field $b \in L^r_t L^q_x$. We first summarize some classical results proving…
