Motivated by extrusion problems, we consider a non-stationary incompress-ible 3D fluid flow with a non-constant (temperature dependent) viscosity, subjected to mixed boundary conditions with a given time dependent velocity on a part of the…
In this paper, a class of fully nonlinear flows with nonlinear Neumann type boundary condition is considered. This problem was solved partly by the first author under the assumption that the flow is the parabolic type special Lagrangian…
This paper is concerned with regular flows of incompressible weakly viscoelastic fluids which obey a differential constitutive law of Oldroyd type. We study the newtonian limit for weakly viscoelastic fluid flows in $\R^N$ or $\T^N$ for…
We show that certain radially symmetric steady states of compressible viscous fluids in domains with inflow/outflow boundary conditions are unconditionally stable. This means that any not necessarily radially symmetric solution of the…
We analyze the role of boundaries in the infrared behavior of quantum field theories. By means of a novel method we calculate the vacuum energy for a massless scalar field confined between two homogeneous parallel plates with the most…
This paper studies the dynamics of an incompressible fluid driven by gravity and capillarity forces in a porous medium. The main interest is the stabilization of the fluid in Rayleigh-Taylor unstable situations where the fluid lays on top…
In contrast to normal fluids, a granular fluid under shear supports a steady state with uniform temperature and density since the collisional cooling can compensate locally for viscous heating. It is shown that the hydrodynamic description…
Fluidisation is the process by which the weight of a bed of particles is supported by a gas flow passing through it from below. When fluidised materials flow down an incline, the dynamics of the motion differ from their non-fluidised…
We study the initial-boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids in a general domain in $\R^n$ with compact and smooth boundary, subject to the kinematic and vorticity boundary conditions on the non-flat…
We consider a fluid-structure interaction system composed by a rigid ball immersed into a viscous incompressible fluid. The motion of the structure satisfies the Newton laws and the fluid equations are the standard Navier-Stokes system. At…
The conventional no-slip boundary condition leads to a non-integrable stress singularity at a moving contact line. This makes numerical simulations challenging, especially when capillary effects are essential for the dynamics of the flow.…
We revisit the boundary dynamics of asymptotically flat, three dimensional gravity. The boundary is governed by a momentum conservation equation and an energy conservation equation, which we interpret as fluid equations, following the…
We study the flow induced by random vibration of a solid boundary in an otherwise quiescent fluid. The analysis is motivated by experiments conducted under the low level and random effective acceleration field that is typical of a…
The goal of this note is to show that, also in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, with $\partial \Omega\in C^2$, any weak solution, $(u(x,t),p(x,t))$, of the Euler equations of ideal incompressible fluid in $\Omega\times (0,T)…
The ``no-slip'' boundary condition, i.e., zero fluid velocity relative to the solid at the fluid-solid interface, has been very successful in describing many macroscopic flows. A problem of principle arises when the no-slip boundary…
In this paper we study non stationary viscous incompressible fluid flows with nonlinear boundary slip conditions given by a subdifferential property of friction type. More precisely we assume that the tangential velocity vanishes as long as…
The new mode of instability found by Tunney et al. is studied with viscous stability theory in this article. When the high-speed boundary layer is subject to certain values of favorable pressure gradient and wall heating, a new mode becomes…
An inhomogeneous fluid in accelerated motion is investigated. When the velocity field $v(x)$ is not constant, the geometry viewed by a static observer is curved, as if the observer were immersed in a gravitational field. A…

The electrostatic force on a charge above a neutral conductor is generally attractive. Surprisingly, that force becomes repulsive in certain geometries (Levin & Johnson 2011), a result that follows from an energy theorem in electrostatics.…
