On Leonardo da Vinci's paradox

Björn Gebhard, Lukas Niebel, Christian Seis

Buoyancy points straight upward, yet in the absence of external forces, a rising air bubble may trace a spiral through the water. This phenomenon was already observed by Leonardo d…

Long-time behavior of optimal mixing in an advection-diffusion shell model

Jiajia Guo, Baole Wen, Christian Seis +1

We investigate the long-time behavior of optimal mixing in an advection-diffusion equation using a shell model framework. Our focus is on quantifying the decay of the scalar varian…

Non-Existence of thick bubble rings at low Weber numbers

Yuanjiang Han, Christian Seis

We examine the existence of thick bubble rings within the framework of the free-boundary capillary Euler equations, focusing on the regime of low Weber numbers. Although spheroidal…

Steady bubbles and drops in inviscid fluids

David Meyer, Lukas Niebel, Christian Seis

We construct steady non-spherical bubbles and drops, which are traveling wave solutions to the axisymmetric two-phase Euler equations with surface tension, whose inner phase is a b…

Exponential mixing by random cellular flows

Víctor Navarro-Fernández, Christian Seis

We study a passive scalar equation on the two-dimensional torus, where the advecting velocity field is given by a cellular flow with a randomly moving center. We prove that the pas…

Steady Ring-Shaped Vortex Sheets

David Meyer, Christian Seis

In this work, we construct traveling wave solutions to the two-phase Euler equations, featuring a vortex sheet at the interface between the two phases. The inner phase exhibits a u…

Strong Convergence of Vorticities in the 2D Viscosity Limit on a Bounded Domain

Christian Seis, Emil Wiedemann, Jakub Woźnicki

In the vanishing viscosity limit from the Navier-Stokes to Euler equations on domains with boundaries, a main difficulty comes from the mismatch of boundary conditions and, consequ…

Optimal Regularity for the 2D Euler Equations in the Yudovich class

Nicola de Nitti, David Meyer, Christian Seis

We analyze the optimal regularity that is exactly propagated by a transport equation driven by a velocity field with BMO gradient. As an application, we study the 2D Euler equation…

Stability of traveling waves for doubly nonlinear equations

Christian Seis, Dominik Winkler

In this note, we investigate a doubly nonlinear diffusion equation in the slow diffusion regime. We prove stability of the pressure of solutions that are close to traveling wave so…

Finite-dimensional leading order dynamics for the fast diffusion equation near extinction

Beomjun Choi, Christian Seis

The fast diffusion equation is analyzed on a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions, for which solutions are known to extinct in finite time. We construct invariant mani…

Propagation of regularity for transport equations. A Littlewood-Paley approach

David Meyer, Christian Seis

It is known that linear advection equations with Sobolev velocity fields have very poor regularity properties: Solutions propagate only derivatives of logarithmic order, which can…

Beomjun Choi, Robert J. McCann, Christian Seis

On a smooth bounded Euclidean domain, Sobolev-subcritical fast diffusion with vanishing boundary trace is known to lead to finite-time extinction, with a vanishing profile selected…
