The purpose of this work is to study an example of low Mach (Froude) number limit of compressible flows when the initial density (height) is almost equal to a function depending on x. This allows us to connect the viscous shallow water equation and the viscous lake equations. More precisely, we study this asymptotic with well prepared data in a periodic domain looking at the influence of the variability of the depth. The result concerns weak solutions. In a second part, we discuss...

In this paper, we prove the existence of a solution for a quite general stationary compressible Stokes problem including, in particular, gravity effects. The Equation Of State gives the pressure as an increasing superlinear function of the density. This existence result is obtained by passing to the limit on the solution of a viscous approximation of the continuity equation.

This paper deals with an interior electromagnetic casting (free boundary) problem. We begin by showing that the associated shape optimization problem has a solution which is of class C 2. Then, using the shape derivative and the maximum principle, we give a sufficient condition that the minimum obtained solves our problem.

We prove the existence of a maximum principle for operators of the type $\Delta \omega -1\Delta$, for weights $\omega$ with $log\omega$ subharmonic. It is associated with certain simply connected subdomains that are produced by a Hele-Shaw flow emanating from a given point in the domain. For constant weight, these are the circular disks in the domain. The principle is equivalent to the following statement. THEOREM. Suppose $\omega$ is logarithmically subharmonic on the unit disk, and that the weight times area measure is a reproducing measure...

As observed by Yamazaki, the third component $b_3$ of the magnetic field can be estimated by the corresponding component $u_3$ of the velocity field in $L^{\lambda }$
