In this paper we investigate analytically the formation of finite time singularities in the three dimensional incompressible Euler equations under the model of Gibbon, Fokas, and Doering for vorticity stretching within a bounded cylindrical…

For ideal fluid flow with zero surface tension and gravity, it remains unknown whether local singularities on the free surface can develop in well-posed initial value problems with smooth initial data. This is so despite great advances over…

We consider the solutions of the Guderley problem, consisting of an imploding strong shock wave in an ideal gas with a power law initial density profile. The self-similar solutions, and specifically the similarity exponent which determines…

The work addresses 2D and 3D turbulent transonic flows past a wall with an expansion corner. A curved shock wave is formed upstream of a cylinder located above the corner. Numerical solutions of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations…

This paper is devoted to the blow-up of analytic solutions with the emergence of irregular solutions.

In this paper, we prove the finite-time shock formation for the compressible Euler equations on the two-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. In contrast to the flat Euclidean case $\mathbb{R}^2$, the geometry of $\mathbb S^2$ imposes new…

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flows. The initial data are assumed to be smooth and rapidly decaying at infinity. A famous open problem is whether classical solutions can…

In the 1990's Christodoulou introduced an idealized fluid model intended to capture some of the features of the gravitational collapse of a massive star to form a neutron star or a black hole. This was the two-phase model introduced in…

In this paper we are concerned with singular points of solutions to the {\it unstable} free boundary problem $$ \Delta u = - \chi_{\{u>0\}} \qquad \hbox{in} B_1. $$ The problem arises in applications such as solid combustion, composite…

We study the singularity formation of smooth solutions of the relativistic Euler equations in $(3+1)$-dimensional spacetime for both finite initial energy and infinite initial energy. For the finite initial energy case, we prove that any…

This paper concerns the formation of singularities in the classical $(5+1)$-dimensional, co-rotational Skyrme model. While it is well established that blowup is excluded in $(3+1)$-dimensions, nothing appears to be known in the higher…

The commonly applied self-similar solution of the problem of the converging shock wave (shock) evolution with constant compression of the medium behind the shock front results in an unlimited increase of the medium velocity in the vicinity…

In this article, we establish the existence of a family of hypersurfaces $(\Gamma (t))_{0< t \leq T}$ which evolve by the vanishing mean curvature flow in Minkowski space and which as $t$ tends to~$0$ blow up towards a hypersurface which…

Self-similar, spherically symmetric cosmological models with a perfect fluid and a scalar field with an exponential potential are investigated. New variables are defined which lead to a compact state space, and dynamical systems methods are…

We examine the stability of a standing shock wave within a spherical accretion flow onto a gravitating star, in the context of core-collapse supernova explosions. Our focus is on the effect of nuclear dissociation below the shock on the…

When a plane shock hits a wedge head on, it experiences a reflection-diffraction process, and then a self-similar reflected shock moves outward as the original shock moves forward in time. The complexity of reflection-diffraction…

The dynamics of shock-induced unsteady separated flow past a three-dimensional square-faced protuberance is investigated through wind tunnel experiments. Time-resolved schlieren imaging and unsteady surface pressure measurements are the…

In this paper we show the existence of a large class of spherically symmetric data $d$ (on a spacelike hypersurface $S$), from which a perfect fluid spacetime (surrounded by vacuum) develops. This spacetime contains an event horizon (with…

In this thesis the Cauchy problem and in particular the question of singularity formation for co--rotational wave maps from 3+1 Minkowski space to the three--sphere $S^3$ is studied. Numerics indicate that self--similar solutions of this…

We study the transition to runaway expansion of an initially stalled core-collapse supernova shock. The neutrino luminosity, mass accretion rate, and neutrinospheric radius are all treated as free parameters. In spherical symmetry, this…
