Systems of interacting networks of strings such as cosmic strings or quantum vortices can be approximated in a certain regime as an anisotropic fluid with an equation of state depending on a conserved flux. The equations for ideal…
In this work, we consider the interaction of a 3D incompressible fluid with a 2D flexible shell that occupies (a part of) the boundary of the fluid domain. We assume that the shell is perfectly elastic while the fluid is governed by the…
Let the interface between two immiscible fluids in a Hele-Shaw cell have, at t=0, a wedge shape. As a wedge is scale-free, the fluid relaxation dynamics are self-similar. We find the dynamic exponent of this self-similar flow and show that…

Incompressible fluid equations are studied with UV cut-off and in periodic boundary conditions. Properties of the resulting ODEs holding uniformly in the cut-off are considered and, in particular, are conjectured to be equivalent to…

Hele-Shaw flow at vanishing surface tension is ill-defined. In finite time, the flow develops cusp-like singularities. We show that the ill-defined problem admits a weak {\it dispersive} solution when singularities give rise to a graph of…
We study the linear stability of the displacement of three Stokes fluids with constant viscosity in a porous medium when the middle fluid is contained in a bounded region. We use the Hele-Shaw model. The eigenfunctions of the stability…
We consider a Cahn-Hilliard equation which is the conserved gradient flow of a nonlocal total free energy functional. This functional is characterized by a Helmholtz free energy density, which can be of logarithmic type. Moreover, the…
Richards equation is often used to represent two-phase fluid flow in an unsaturated porous medium when one phase is much heavier and more viscous than the other. However, it cannot describe the fully saturated flow for some capillary…

The method of transformation optics has been a powerful tool to manipulate physical fields if governing equations are formally invariant under coordinate transformations. However, regulation of hydrodynamics is still far from satisfactory…
Reduction of flow compressibility with the corresponding ideally invariant helicities, universally for various fluid models of neutral and ionized gases, can be argued statistically and associated with the geometrical scenario in the…
In this paper we introduce a numerical scheme for fluid-structure interaction problems in two or three space dimensions: A flexible elastic plate is interacting with a viscous, compressible barotropic fluid. Hence the physical domain of…
A complete analysis is presented for the far-field creeping flow produced by a multipolar force distribution in a fluid confined between two parallel planar walls. We show that at distances larger than several wall separations the flow…
