The biharmonic flow of hypersurfaces $M^n$ immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb {R}^{n+1}$ for $n\geq 2$ is given by a fourth order geometric evolution equation, which is similar to the Willmore flow. We apply the Michael-Simon-Sobolev…

In this article we consider viscous flow in the exterior of an obstacle satisfying the standard no-slip boundary condition at the surface of the obstacle. We seek conditions under which solutions of the Navier-Stokes system in the exterior…

In this paper we consider the Muskat problem describing the motion of two unbounded immiscible fluid layers with equal viscosities in vertical or horizontal two-dimensional geometries. We first prove that the mathematical model can be…

In this paper a generalized Gauss curvature flow about a convex hypersurface in the Euclidean $n$-space is studied. This flow is closely related to the Orlicz-Minkowski problem, which involves Gauss curvature and a function of support…

A major challenge in flow through porous media is to better understand the link between microstructure and macroscale flow and transport. For idealised microstructures, the mathematical framework of homogenisation theory can be used for…

In this work we study the inhomogeneous Muskat problem, \emph{i.e.} the evolution of an internal wave between two different fluids in a porous medium with discontinuous permeability. In particular, under precise conditions on the initial…

We compare the flat geometry associated to a quadratic differential with the hyperbolic geometry associated to the underlying Riemann surface. We show that if a curve is contained in a thick subsurface, then its hyperbolic length is…

In this thesis, we explore several related topics broadly regarding the symmetry and geometric properties of nonlocal partial differential equations (PDE). This thesis is split into three parts. In the first part, we study two…

The surface of a liquid near a moving contact line is highly curved owing to diverging viscous forces. Thus, microscopic physics must be invoked at the contact line and matched to the hydrodynamic solution farther away. This matching has…
