The transport of single-phase fluid mixtures in porous media is described by cross-diffusion equations for the mass densities. The equations are obtained in a thermodynamic consistent way from mass balance, Darcy's law, and the van der…
Since the early nineties, it has been observed that the Schroedinger bridge problem can be formulated as a stochastic control problem with atypical boundary constraints. This in turn has a fluid dynamic counterpart where the flow of…
We study the convergence of the weak solution of the porous medium equation with a type of Robin boundary conditions, by tuning a parameter either to zero or to infinity. The convergence is in the strong sense, with respect to the…
We investigate the global existence of weak solutions to a free boundary problem governing the evolution of finitely extensible bead-spring chains in dilute polymers. The free boundary in the present context is defined with regard to a…
We consider the generalized Forchheimer flows for slightly compressible fluids. Using Muskat's and Ward's general form of Forchheimer equations, we describe the fluid dynamics by a nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation for the density. We…
The sliced-Wasserstein flow is an evolution equation where a probability density evolves in time, advected by a velocity field computed as the average among directions in the unit sphere of the optimal transport displacements from its 1D…
We formulate a finite-particle method of mass transport that accounts for general mixed boundary conditions. The particle method couples a geometrically-exact treatment of advection; Wasserstein gradient-flow dynamics; and a…
We consider a free boundary problem of compressible-incompressible two-phase flows with phase transitions in general domains of $N$-dimensional Euclidean space (e.g. whole space; half-spaces; bounded domains; exterior domains). The…
Many physical systems of interest involve the close interaction of a flow in a domain with complex, time-varying boundaries. Treatment of boundaries of this nature is cumbersome due to the difficulty in explicitly tracking boundaries that…
In this paper, we consider the heat-conducting compressible self-gravitating fluids in time-dependent domains, which typically describe the motion of viscous gaseous stars. The flow is governed by the 3-D Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Poisson…
We study the emergence of gradient flows in Wasserstein distance as high friction limits of an abstract Euler flow generated by an energy functional. We develop a relative energy calculation that connects the Euler flow to the gradient flow…

Inspired by recent works on the threshold dynamics scheme for multi-phase mean curvature flow (by Esedo\={g}lu-Otto and Laux-Otto), we introduce a novel framework to approximate solutions of the Muskat problem with surface tension. Our…
In this paper we provide a variational characterisation for a class of non-linear evolution equations with constant non-negative Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded domain as gradient flows in the space of non-negative measures. The…
We study an optimal boundary control problem for the two-dimensional stationary micropolar fluids system with variable density. We control the system by considering boundary controls, for the velocity vector and angular velocity of rotation…
A novel framework for density estimation under expectation constraints is proposed. The framework minimizes the Wasserstein distance between the estimated density and a prior, subject to the constraints that the expected value of a set of…
We study a system of equations governing liquid and gas flow in porous media. The gas phase is homogeneous while the liquid phase is composed of a liquid component and dissolved gas component. It is assumed that the gas component is weakly…
