For a wide variety of initial and boundary conditions, adiabatic one dimensional flows of an ideal gas approach self-similar behavior when the characteristic length scale over which the flow takes place, $R$, diverges or tends to zero. It…

We investigate the shallow flow of viscous fluid into and out of a channel whose gap width increases as a power-law ($x^n$), where $x$ is the downstream axis. The fluid flows slowly, while injected at a rate in the form of $t^\alpha$, where…

Spherical flows are a classic problem in astrophysics which are typically studied from a global perspective. However, much like with accretion discs, there are likely many instabilities and small scale phenomena which would be easier to…
The isothermal gas sphere is well known as a powerful tool to model many problems in astrophysics, physics, chemistry, and engineering. This singular differential equation has not an exact solution and solved only by numerical and…
