Magnetohydrodynamic flow due to noncoaxial rotations of a porous disk and a fourth-grade fluid at infinity.
Mathematical analysis of the stabilization of lamellar phases by a shear stress
We consider a 2D mathematical model describing the motion of a solution of surfactants submitted to a high shear stress in a CouetteTaylor system. We are interested in a stabilization process obtained thanks to the shear. We prove that, if the shear stress is large enough, there exists global in time solution for small initial data and that the solution of the linearized system (controlled by a nonconstant parameter) tends to 0 as goes to infinity. This explains rigorously some experiments.

Mathematical study of rotational incompressible non-viscous flows through multiply connected domains
The paper is devoted to the study of the boundary value problem for an elliptic quasilinear second-order partial differential equation in a multiply connected, bounded plane domain under the assumption that the Dirichlet boundary value conditions on the separate components of the boundary are given up to additive constants. These constants together with the solution of the equation considered are to be determined so as to fulfil the so called trainling conditions. The results have immediate applications...

Modelling geophysical flows in the equatorial zone
We present here a series of works which aims at describing geophysical flows in the equatorial zone, taking into account the dominating influence of the earth rotation. We actually proceed by successive approximations computing for each model the response of the fluid to the strong Coriolis penalisation. The main difficulty is due to the spatial variations of the Coriolis acceleration : in particular, as it vanishes at the equator, fast oscillations are trapped in a thin strip of latitudes.
