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…

For a supersonic Euler flow past a straight wedge whose vertex angle is less than the extreme angle, there exists a shock-front emanating from the wedge vertex, and the shock-front is usually strong especially when the vertex angle of the…

We study the motion of charged liquid drop in three dimensions where the equations of motions are given by the Euler equations with free boundary with an electric field. This is a well-known problem in physics going back to the famous work…

We review and apply the continuous symmetry approach to find the solution of the 3D Euler fluid equations in several instances of interest, via the construction of constants of motion and infinitesimal symmetries, without recourse to…

We consider shock reflection which has a well-known local non-uniqueness: the reflected shock can be either of two choices, called weak and strong. We consider cases where existence of a global solution with weak reflected shock has been…

We present a rigorous approach and related techniques to construct global solutions of the 2-D Riemann problem with four-shock interactions for the Euler equations for potential flow. With the introduction of three critical angles: the…

We solve the continuation problem for the non-isentropic Euler equations following the collapse of an imploding shock wave. More precisely, we prove that the self-similar G\"uderley imploding shock solutions for a perfect gas with adiabatic…

We establish the optimal convergence rate to the hypersonic similarity law, which is also called the Mach number independence principle, for steady compressible full Euler flows over two-dimensional slender Lipschitz wedges. The problem can…

The present study addresses the self-similar problem of unsteady shock reflection on an inclined wedge. The start-up conditions are studied by modifying the wedge corner and allowing for a finite radius of curvature. It is found that the…

Hele-Shaw flow at vanishing surface tension is ill-defined. In finite time, the flow develops cusp-like singularities. We show that the ill-defined problem admits a weak {\it dispersive} solution when singularities give rise to a graph of…

We are concerned with the Prandtl-Meyer reflection configurations of unsteady global solutions for supersonic flow impinging upon a symmetric solid wedge. Prandtl (1936) first employed the shock polar analysis to show that there are two…

In undergraduate classes, the potential flow that goes around a circular cylinder is designed for complemental understanding of mathematical technique to handle the Laplace equation with Neumann boundary conditions and the physical concept…

Guderley's 1942 work on radial shock waves provides cases of self-similar Euler flows exhibiting blowup of primary (undifferentiated) flow variables: a converging shock wave invades a quiescent region, and the velocity and pressure in its…

We show that the multi-dimensional compressible Euler system for isothermal flow of an ideal, polytropic gas admits global-in-time, radially symmetric solutions with unbounded amplitudes due to wave focusing. The examples are similarity…

This paper concerns the existence and location of three-dimensional axisymmetric transonic shocks with large swirl velocity for shock solutions of the steady compressible full Euler system in a cylindrical nozzle with prescribed receiver…

The existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of steady transonic flows past a curved wedge, involving transonic shocks, governed by the two-dimensional full Euler equations are established. The stability of both weak and strong…

We are concerned with the global existence of entropy solutions of the two-dimensional steady Euler equations for an ideal gas, which undergoes a one-step exothermic chemical reaction under the Arrhenius-type kinetics. The reaction rate…

We develop a new approach and employ it to establish the global existence and nonlinear structural stability of attached weak transonic shocks in steady potential flow past three-dimensional wedges; in particular, the restriction that the…

We present our recent results on the Prandtl-Meyer reflection for supersonic potential flow past a solid ramp. When a steady supersonic flow passes a solid ramp, there are two possible configurations: the weak shock solution and the strong…

We construct nonradial, self-similar solutions to the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations without assuming rotational symmetry. These solutions extend the study of self-similar algebraic spiral flows, initiated by Elling and…
