In the dynamics of viscous fluid, the case of vanishing kinematic viscosity is actually equivalent to the Reynolds number tending to infinity. Hence, in the limit of vanishing viscosity the fluid flow is essentially turbulent. On the other…
We investigate the moving contact line problem for two-phase incompressible flows with a kinematic approach. The key idea is to derive an evolution equation for the contact angle in terms of the transporting velocity field. It turns out…
In this work, we extend the model of contact angles that we have previously developed for sessile drops on a wetted surface to the case of a meniscus in a capillary. The underlying physics of our model describe the intermolecular forces…
The inviscid barotropic quasi-geostrophic equation with a free surface is considered. The free surface mandates a non-standard boundary condition. The global existence existence and uniqueness of a weak solution is established, thanks to…
We present the theory of liquid bridges between two axisymmetric solids, sphere and plane, with prescribed contact angles in a general setup, when the solids are non-touching, touching or intersecting, We give a detailed derivation of…
We consider an adhesive contact between a thin soft layer on a rigid substrate and a rigid cylindrical indenter ("line contact") with account of the surface tension of the layer. First, it is shown that the boundary condition for the…
We consider the dynamics of a layer of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid interacting with the magnetic field in a two-dimensional horizontally periodic setting. The upper boundary is in contact with the atmosphere, and the…
In this article we consider the inviscid two-dimensional shallow water equations in a rectangle. The flow occurs near a stationary solution in the so called supercritical regime and we establish short term existence of smooth solutions for…
The issue of the inviscid limit for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations when a no-slip condition is prescribed on the boundary is a famous open problem. A result by Tosio Kato says that convergence to the Euler equations holds true…
The boundary conditions at the deformable interface between two contacting fluids are derived for the general case of the large-amplitude perturbations. The interface is modeled as perturbed free boundary that evolves in time, and the…
We study the finite element formulation of general boundary conditions for incompressible flow problems. Distinguishing between the contributions from the inviscid and viscid parts of the equations, we use Nitsche's method to develop a…
When a fluid surface adheres to a substrate, the location of the contact line adjusts in order to minimize the overall energy. This adhesion balance implies boundary conditions which depend on the characteristic surface deformation…
The inviscid multi-layer quasi-geostrophic equations are considered over an arbitrary bounded domain. The no-flux but non-homogeneous boundary conditions are imposed to accommodate the free fluctuations of the top and layer interfaces.…
In this paper, we study surfaces which evolve by anisotropic mean curvature flow with contact angle boundary condition over a strictly convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We establish a prior gradient estimate for smooth solutions to this…
Hydrodynamic equations for ideal incompressible fluid are written in terms of generalized stream function. Two-dimensional version of these equations is transformed to the form of one dynamic equation for the stream function. This equation…
We consider the flow of two viscous and incompressible fluids within a bounded domain modeled by means of a two-phase Navier-Stokes system. The two fluids are assumed to be immiscible, meaning that they are separated by an interface. With…
We investigate the motion of the contact surface centroid for contractile bodies on substrates with a viscous friction law and when inertial forces are negligible. We deduce a set of sufficient conditions that ensure that the surface…
The evaporation of sessile drops in quiescent air is usually governed by vapour diffusion. For contact angles below $90^\circ$, the evaporative flux from the droplet tends to diverge in the vicinity of the contact line. Therefore, the…
Exact solutions of a classical problem of a plane unsteady potential flow of an ideal incompressible fluid with a free boundary are presented. The fluid occupies a semi-infinite strip bounded by the free surface (from above) and (from the…
The contact angle that a liquid drop makes on a soft substrate does not obey the classical Young's relation, since the solid is deformed elastically by the action of the capillary forces. The finite elasticity of the solid also renders the…
