On a differential inequality for a viscous compressible heat conducting capillary fluid bounded by a free surface
We derive a global differential inequality for solutions of a free boundary problem for a viscous compressible heat concluding capillary fluid. The inequality is essential in proving the global existence of solutions.

On a functional equation arising in the kinetic theory of gases
The problem of finding the summational collision invariants for the Boltzmann equation leads to a functional equation related to the Cauchy equation. The solution of this equation is known under different assumptions on its unknown . Most proofs assume that the equation is pointwise satisfied, while the result needed in kinetic theory concerns the solutions of the equation when the latter is satisfied almost everywhere. The only results of this kind appear to be due to the authors of the present...
On a generalized Stokes problem
We deal with a generalization of the Stokes system. Instead of the Laplace operator, we consider a general elliptic operator and a pressure gradient with small perturbations. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of a solution as well its regularity properties. Two types of regularity are provided. Aside from the classical Hilbert regularity, we also prove the Hölder regularity for coefficients in VMO space.
On a hybrid finite-volume-particle method
We present a hybrid finite-volume-particle numerical method for computing the transport of a passive pollutant by a flow. The flow is modeled by the one- and two-dimensional Saint-Venant system of shallow water equations and the pollutant propagation is described by a transport equation. This paper is an extension of our previous work [Chertock, Kurganov and Petrova, J. Sci. Comput. (to appear)], where the one-dimensional finite-volume-particle method has been proposed. The core idea behind the...

On a low Mach nuclear core model
We propose to formally derive a low Mach number model adapted to the modeling of a water nuclear core (e.g. of PWR- or BWR-type) in the forced convection regime or in the natural convection regime by filtering out the acoustic waves in the compressible Navier-Stokes system. Then, we propose a monodimensional stationary analytical solution with regular and singular charge loss when the equation of state is a stiffened gas equation. Moreover, we show...

On a model system for the oblique interaction of internal gravity waves
We give local and global well-posedness results for a system of two Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equations derived by R. Grimshaw and Y. Zhu to model the oblique interaction of weakly nonlinear, two dimensional, long internal waves in shallow fluids. We also prove a smoothing effect for the amplitudes of the interacting waves. We use the Fourier transform restriction norms introduced by J. Bourgain and the Strichartz estimates for the linear KP group. Finally we extend the result of [3] for lower...

On a nonlocal problem for a confined plasma in a Tokamak
The paper deals with a nonlocal problem related to the equilibrium of a confined plasma in a Tokamak machine. This problem involves terms and , which are neither local, nor continuous, nor monotone. By using the Galerkin approximate method and establishing some properties of the decreasing rearrangement, we prove the existence of solutions to such problem.

On an evolutionary nonlinear fluid model in the limiting case
We consider the two-dimesional spatially periodic problem for an evolutionary system describing unsteady motions of the fluid with shear-dependent viscosity under general assumptions on the form of nonlinear stress tensors that includes those with -structure. The global-in-time existence of a weak solution is established. Some models where the nonlinear operator corresponds to the case are covered by this analysis.
On an inequality for a free boundary problem for equations of a viscous compressible heat-conducting capillary fluid
We derive an inequality for a local solution of a free boundary problem for a viscous compressible heat-conducting capillary fluid. This inequality is crucial to proving the global existence of solutions belonging to certain anisotropic Sobolev-Slobodetskiĭ spaces and close to an equilibrium state.
On approximate Euler differential equations.
On boundary-driven time-dependent Oseen flows
We consider the single layer potential associated to the fundamental solution of the time-dependent Oseen system. It is shown this potential belongs to L²(0,∞,H¹(Ω)³) and to H¹(0,∞,V') if the layer function is in L²(∂Ω×(0,∞)³). (Ω denotes the complement of a bounded Lipschitz set; V denotes the set of smooth solenoidal functions in H¹₀(Ω)³.) This result means that the usual weak solution of the time-dependent Oseen function with zero initial data and zero body force may be represented by a single...
