On a Free Boundary Problem for a Nonlinear Coupled System of Evolution Equations of Oceanography.
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...
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.
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...

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...
We consider an energy-functional describing rotating superfluids at a rotating velocity , and prove similar results as for the Ginzburg-Landau functional of superconductivity: mainly the existence of branches of solutions with vortices, the existence of a critical above which energy-minimizers have vortices, evaluations of the minimal energy as a function of , and the derivation of a limiting free-boundary problem.

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...
A Navier-Stokes type equation corresponding to a non-linear relationship between the stress tensor and the velocity deformation tensor is studied and existence and uniqueness theorems for the solution, in the 3-dimensional case, of the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem, for a bounded solution and for an almost periodic solution are given. An inequality which in some sense is the limit of the equation is also considered and existence theorems for the solution of the Cauchy-Dirichlet problems and for a periodic...
