We prove a nonpolarised analogue of the asymptotic characterization of $T^2$-symmetric Einstein Flow solutions completed recently by LeFloch and Smulevici. In this work, we impose a condition weaker than polarisation and so our result…
Linear eigenmodes of a spherically symmetrical ultra-relativistic blast wave (the Blandford-McKee, BMK, solution) are calculated. The BMK solution is shown to be stable and strongly non-universal. It is stable because all the eigenmodes…
The blast caused by an intense explosion has been extensively studied in conservative fluids, where the Taylor-von Neumann-Sedov hydrodynamic solution is a prototypical example of self-similarity driven by conservation laws. In dissipative…
This paper reports a breakdown in linear stability theory under conditions of neutral stability that is deduced by an examination of exponential modes of the form $h\approx {{e}^{i(kx-\omega t)}}$, where $h$ is a response to a disturbance,…

In the present paper, it is shown that the large amplitude viscous shock wave is nonlinearly stable for isentropic Navier-Stokes equations, in which the pressure could be general and includes $\gamma$-law, and the viscosity coefficient is a…
Self-similar solutions provide good descriptions for the gravitational collapse of spherical clouds or stars when the gas obeys a polytropic equation of state, $p=K\rho^\gamma$ (with $\gamma\le 4/3$). We study the behaviors of nonradial…
Previous experiments have revealed that shock waves driven through dissipative gases may become unstable, for example, in granular gases, and in molecular gases undergoing strong relaxation effects. The mechanisms controlling these…
Asymptotic stability of small solitons in one dimension is proved in the framework of a discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation with septic and higher power-law nonlinearities and an external potential supporting a simple isolated…

We study the large-time behavior of solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a viscous and heat-conducting ideal polytropic gas in the one-dimensional half-space. A rarefaction wave and its superposition with a…
This work is devoted to study the global behavior of viscous flows contained in a symmetric domain with complete slip boundary. In such scenario the boundary no longer provides friction and therefore the perturbation of angular velocity…

We study the oscillations and stability of self-gravitating cylindrically symmetric fluid systems and collisionless systems. This is done by studying small perturbations to the equilibrium system and finding the normal modes, using methods…
