In this paper, we propose a new assumption (1.2) that involves a small oscillation and $C^2$ norms for maps from smooth bounded domains into Euclidean spaces. Furthermore, by assuming that the domain has non-negative Ricci curvature, we…

We study global aspects of the mean curvature flow of non-separating hypersurfaces $S$ in closed manifolds. For instance, if $S$ has non-vanishing mean curvature, we show its level set flow converges smoothly towards an embedded minimal…
We study the Couette flow of a quasi-2d soft-glassy material in a Hele-Shaw geometry. The material is chosen to be above the jamming point, where a yield stress $\sigma_Y$ emerges, below which the material deforms elastically and above…

In this paper, we study a class of flows of closed, star-shaped hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ with speed $(\sinh r)^{{\alpha}/{\beta}} \sigma_{k}^{{1}/{\beta}}$, where $\sigma_{k}$ is the $k$-th elementary symmetric…
We study the propagation of monochromatic surface waves on a turbulent flow. The flow is generated in a layer of liquid metal by an electromagnetic forcing. This forcing creates a quasi two-dimensional (2D) turbulence with strong vertical…
We define a notion of mean curvature flow with surgery for two-dimensional surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with positive mean curvature. Our construction relies on the earlier work of Huisken and Sinestrari in the higher dimensional case. One of…
We hypothesize that dynamical systems concepts used to study the transition to turbulence in shear flows are applicable to other transition phenomena in fluid mechanics. In this paper, we consider a finite air bubble that propagates within…
We consider a locally constrained curvature flow in a static rotationally symmetric space $\mathbf{N}^{n+1}$, which was firstly introduced by Hu and Li in the hyperbolic space. We prove that if the initial hypersurface is graphical, then…

In this paper, we consider the mean curvature flow of convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces with a general forcing term. We show that the flow may shrink to a point in finite time if the forcing term is small, or exist for all times and…
