Here, we study a level-set forced mean curvature flow with the homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We first show that the solution is Lipschitz in time and locally Lipschitz in space. Then, under an additional condition on the forcing…
We consider the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations in a half-space with boundary data on the line $(x,y)=(x_0,y)$ assumed to be time-periodic (or stationary) with a fixed asymptotic velocity ${\bf u}_{\infty}=(1,0)$ at infinity. We show…
We establish the well-posedness of the nonlocal mean curvature flow of order ${\alpha\in(0,1)}$ for periodic graphs on $\mathbb{R}^n$ in all subcritical little H\"older spaces ${\rm h}^{1+\beta}(\mathbb{T}^n)$ with $\beta\in(0,1)$.…
Several theories for weakly damped free-surface flows have been formulated. In this paper we use the linear approximation to the Navier-Stokes equations to derive a new set of equations for potential flow which include dissipation due to…

We propose a novel multiple-scale spatial marching method for flows with slow streamwise variation. The key idea is to couple the boundary region equations, which govern large-scale flow evolution, with local exact coherent structures that…
We introduce a minimization formulation for the determination of a finite-dimensional, time-dependent, orthonormal basis that captures directions of the phase space associated with transient instabilities. While these instabilities have…
In this short note, we derive a system of two nonlocal equations for the water-wave problem following the work of [AFM06]. Specifically, we consider a fluid with a one-dimensional free surface for an irrotational fluid both with, and…
We consider the evolution of sets by nonlocal mean curvature and we discuss the preservation along the flow of two geometric properties, which are the mean convexity and the outward minimality. The main tools in our analysis are the level…
We prove short-time existence of \phi-regular solutions to the planar anisotropic curvature flow, including the crystalline case, with an additional forcing term possibly unbounded and discontinuous in time, such as for instance a white…
We investigate a variational approach to nonpotential perturbations of gradient flows of nonconvex energies in Hilbert spaces. We prove existence of solutions to elliptic-in-time regularizations of gradient flows by combining the…
Flows of granular media down a rough inclined plane demonstrate a number of nonlocal phenomena. We apply the recently proposed nonlocal granular fluidity model to this geometry and find that the model captures many of these effects.…
Motivated by the mathematics literature on the algebraic properties of so-called polynomial vector flows, we propose a technique for approximating nonlinear differential equations by linear differential equations. Although the idea of…
This paper focuses on establishing the existence of a class of steady solutions, termed least total curvature solutions, to the incompressible Euler system in a strip. The solutions obtained in this paper complement the least total…
We propose a nonlocal model for surface tension. This model, in combination with the Landau-Lifshitz-Navier-Stokes equations, describes mesoscale features of the multiphase flow, including the static (pressure) tensor and curvature…
Minimization methods that search along a curvilinear path composed of a non-ascent nega- tive curvature direction in addition to the direction of steepest descent, dating back to the late 1970s, have been an effective approach to finding a…
In this paper, we propose a new numerical scheme for a spatially discrete model of constrained total variation flows, which are total variation flows whose values are constrained in a Riemannian manifold. The difficulty of this problem is…

We consider here a fully discrete variant of the implicit variational scheme for mean curvature flow [AlmTayWan,LucStu], in a setting where the flow is governed by a crystalline surface tension defined by the limit of pairwise interactions…
This work deals with the homogenization of an initial- and boundary-value problem for the doubly-nonlinear system $$ D_t w -\nabla\cdot \vec z = \nabla\cdot \vec h(x,t,x/\varepsilon), \qquad w\in \alpha(u,x/\varepsilon), \qquad \vec z\in…
