In the 1990's Christodoulou introduced an idealized fluid model intended to capture some of the features of the gravitational collapse of a massive star to form a neutron star or a black hole. This was the two-phase model introduced in…
When studying fluid-body interactions in the low-Froude limit, traditional asymptotic theory predicts a waveless free-surface at every order. This is due to the fact that the waves are in fact exponentially small---that is, beyond all…

We prove the existence of a weak solution to the compressible Navier--Stokes system with singular pressure that explodes when density achieves its congestion level. This is a quantity whose initial value evolves according to the transport…
We derive a thermodynamically consistent model, which describes the time evolution of a two-phase flow in an evolving domain. The movement of the free boundary of the domain is driven by the velocity field of the mixture in the bulk, which…
In a recent work [1] the authors studied the dynamics of the interface separating a vacuum from an inviscid incompressible fluid, subject to the self-gravitational force and neglecting surface tension, in two space dimensions. The fluid is…
In this paper, we present a new framework for the global well-posedness and large-time behavior of a two-phase flow system, which consists of the pressureless Euler equations and incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled through the…
We consider the motion of several rigid bodies immersed in a two-dimensional incompressible perfect fluid. The motion of the rigid bodies is given by the Newton laws with forces due to the fluid pressure and the fluid motion is described by…
This paper establishes finite-time splash singularity formation for 3D viscous incompressible neo-Hookean elastodynamics with free boundaries. The system features mixed stress-kinematic conditions where viscous-elastic stresses balance…
The evaporation of sessile drops in quiescent air is usually governed by vapour diffusion. For contact angles below $90^\circ$, the evaporative flux from the droplet tends to diverge in the vicinity of the contact line. Therefore, the…
We present a two-phase field model and a hybrid particle-phase field model to simulate dilute colloidal sedimentation and flotation near a liquid-gas interface (or fluid-fluid interface in general). Both models are coupled to the…
We present the first convergence proof for an iso-parametric finite element discretization of two-phase Stokes flow in $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$, with interface dynamics governed by mean curvature. The proof relies on a crucial…
We consider the free boundary problem of compressible isentropic neo-Hookean viscoelastic fluid equations with surface tension. Under the physical kinetic and dynamic conditions proposed on the free boundary, we investigate regularities of…
We prove that there are stationary solutions to the 2D incompressible free boundary Euler equations with two fluids, possibly with a small gravity constant, that feature a splash singularity. More precisely, in the solutions we construct…
We establish pointwise decay estimates for the velocity field of a steady two-dimensional Stokes flow around a rotating body via a new approach rather than analysis adopted in the previous literature. The novelty is to analyze the singular…
