Nonlinear heat equations in two dimensions with singular initial data are studied. In recent works nonlinearities with exponential growth of Trudinger-Moser type have been shown to manifest critical behavior: well-posedness in the…
Using a new numerical code we have carried out two-dimensional simulations of the nonlinear evolution of unstable sheared magnetohydrodynamic flows. We considered two cases: a strong magnetic field (Alfven Mach number, M_a = 2.5) and a weak…
We study the Cauchy problem of three-dimensional compressible non-isentropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluids with both interior and far field vacuum states. Applying delicate energy estimates, initial layer analysis, and continuation…
Providing evidence of finite-time singularities of the incompressible Euler equations in three space dimensions is still an unsolved problem. Likewise, the zeroth law of turbulence has not been proven to date by numerical experiments. We…

We discuss a few recent developments that are important for understanding of MHD turbulence. First, MHD turbulence is not so messy as it is usually believed. In fact, the notion of strong non-linear coupling of compressible and…
In the initial stage of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, strong magnetic fields appear due to the large velocity of the colliding charges. The evolution of these fields appears as a novel and intriguing feature in the fluid-dynamical…
We apply a Fourier spectral numerical method to 3D incompressible MHD turbulence with a magnetic Prandtl number $Pr \geq 1$. We examine the processes by which an initially weak, large-scale seed magnetic field and an initially weak,…
We study the behavior of a self-gravitating perfect relativistic fluid satisfying the Einstein-Euler system in the presence of a weak null terminal spacetime singularity. This type of singularities is expected in the interior of generic…
Ideal systems like MHD and Euler flow may develop singularities in vorticity (w = curl v). Viscosity and resistivity are dissipative regularizations. We propose a minimal, local, conservative, nonlinear, dispersive regularization of…
A single open magnetic flux tube spanning the solar photosphere (solar radius R) and the lower corona (R + 10 Mm) is modelled in magnetohydrostatic equilibrium within a realistic stratified atmosphere subject to solar gravity. Such flux…
Context. Global MHD simulations show Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instabilities at the contact surface of two merging neutron stars. That region has been identified as the site of efficient amplification of magnetic fields. However, these global…
Due to the absence of a transverse expansion with respect to the beam direction, the Bjorken flow is unable to describe certain observables in heavy ion collisions. This caveat has motivated the introduction of analytical relativistic…
