The Eulerian perfect-fluid theory is reformulated from its action principle in a pure field-theoretic manner. Conservation of the convective current is no longer imposed by Lin's constraints, but rather adopted as the central idea of the…
We consider the non-isothermal flow of a compressible fluid through pipes. Starting from the full set of Euler equations, we propose a variational characterization of solutions that encodes the conservation of mass, energy, and entropy in a…
The nonlinear asymptotic stability of shear flows in the 2D Euler equations has traditionally been linked to inviscid damping in the periodic setting. Since Gevrey regularity is required to suppress the ``echo'' phenomenon, asymptotic…
We establish area bounds for two-dimensional immersions in R^3 and R^n. Namely, for \mu-stable immersions in R^3 (R^n), for graphs in $\mathbb R^3$ which solve quasilinear equations in divergence form, and for graphs which are critical for…
We consider the semiclassical limit for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We introduce a phase/amplitude representation given by a system similar to the hydrodynamical formulation, whose novelty consists in including some asymptotically…
Advective transport of scalar quantities through surfaces is of fundamental importance in many scientific applications. From the Eulerian perspective of the surface it can be quantified by the well-known integral of the flux density. The…
Convection schemes are a large source of error in global weather and climate models, and modern resolutions are often too fine to parameterise convection but are still too coarse to fully resolve it. Recently, numerical solutions of…
We reformulate the relativistic perfect fluid system on curved space-time. Using standard variables, the velocity field $u$,energy density $\rho$ and pressure $p$, the covariant Euler-Lagrange equation is obtained from variational…
In this article, we introduce a variational algorithm, in the spirit of the minimizing movements scheme, to model the volume-preserving anisotropic mean curvature flow in 2D. We show that this algorithm can be used to prove the existence of…
A statistical method for calculating equilibrium solutions of the shallow water equations, a model of essentially 2-d fluid flow with a free surface, is described. The model contains a competing acoustic turbulent {\it direct} energy…
A broad class of nonlinear acoustic wave models possess a Hamiltonian structure in their dissipation-free limit and a gradient flow structure for their dissipative dynamics. This structure may be exploited to design numerical methods which…
This paper is concerned with qualitative properties of bounded steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid with no stagnation point in the two-dimensional plane R^2. We show that any such flow is a shear flow, that is, it is parallel to…
We propose a mathematical model for fluids in multiphase flows in order to establish a solid theoretical foundation for the study of their complex topology, large geometric deformations, and topological changes such as merging. Our modeling…
Exponential stabilization to time-dependent trajectories for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is achieved with explicit feedback controls. The fluid is contained in two-dimensional spatial domains and the control force is, at each…
In this paper, a new formulation for the three dimensional Euler equations is derived. Since the Euler system is hyperbolic-elliptic coupled in a subsonic region, so an effective decoupling of the hyperbolic and elliptic modes is essential…
The fundamental "two-fluid" model for describing plasma dynamics is given by the Euler-Maxwell system, in which compressible ion and electron fluids interact with their own self-consistent electromagnetic field. We prove global stability of…
In this second part of our two-part paper, we extend to multiple spatial dimensions the one-dimensional, fully conservative, positivity-preserving, and entropy-bounded discontinuous Galerkin scheme developed in the first part for the…
We are interested in building schemes for the compressible Euler equations that are also locally conserving the angular momentum. We present a general framework, describe a few examples of schemes and show results. These schemes can be of…
We prove that several evolution equations arising as mathematical models for fluid motion cannot be realized as metric Euler equations on the Lie group of all smooth and orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms on the circle. These include…
The present work is devoted to the simulation of a strongly magnetized plasma considered as a mixture of an ion fluid and an electron fluid. For the sake of simplicity, we assume that the model is isothermal and described by Euler equations…
