A body $\mathscr B$ moves in an unbounded Navier-Stokes liquid by time-independent translatory motion. Suppose that at time $t=0$, $\mathscr B$ smoothly changes its motion to an arbitrary rigid motion, reached at time $t=1$. We then show…

Fluid flows are typically studied by solving the Navier--Stokes equation. One of the fundamental assumptions of this equation is Stokes' hypothesis. This hypothesis assumes bulk viscosity, to be identically zero. The Stokes' hypothesis is a…

A well-known unsolved problem (in the classical theory of fluid mechanics) is to identify a set of initial velocities, which may depend on the viscosity, the body forces and possibly the boundary of the fluid that will allow global in time…
The Navier-Stokes Hamiltonian is derived from first principles. Its Hamilton equations are shown to be equivalent to the continuity, Navier-Stokes, and energy conservation equations of a compressible viscous fluid. The derivations of the…
The motion of two contiguous incompressible and viscous fluids is described within the diffuse interface theory by the so-called Model H. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, which are coupled with the Cahn-Hilliard equation…
We consider the fluid-structure interaction problem of a viscous incompressible fluid contained in an elastic solid whose motion is not prescribed. The equations governing the motion of the solid are given by the Navier equations of linear…

We study fully three-dimensional droplets that slide down an incline by employing a thin-film equation that accounts for capillarity, wettability, and a lateral driving force in small-gradient (or long-wave) approximation. In particular, we…
