I will discuss some recent results about Lp and Schauder estimates for a class of non-local elliptic equations. Compared to previous known results, the novelty of our results is that the kernels of the operators are not necessarily to be homogeneous, regular, or symmetric.

We study the two-phase Stefan problem that models heat propagation and phase transitions in a material with two distinct phases, such as
water and ice. For this problem, we introduce a notion of viscosity
solutions that allows for an appearance of the so-called mushy region. We prove a comparison principle and use this result to establish well-posedness of the viscosity solutions. As a corollary, we show that the viscosity solutions and the weak solutions defined in the sense of distributions coincide.

In recent work, we have investigated various aspects of the asymptotic behavior of solutions to systems that are known to describe the behavior of incompressible flows of binary fluids, that is, fluids composed by either two phases of the same chemical species or phases of different composition. We intend to give an overview on the following issues: existence and main properties
of (trajectory or global) attractors, exponential attractors, convergence to single equilibria, etc.

In this talk we present a joint work with Lei Zhen of Fudan University.

Let v=v(x, t) be a solution to the 3 d axis symmetric NS.
Let (x_0, t_0) be a point such that the flow speed |v(x_0,t_0)| is comparable to the maximum speed for time t

In this talk, I consider the existence of local-in-time strong solutions to a well established coupled system of partial differential equations arising in Fluid-Structure interactions. The system consisting of an incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and an elasticity equation with velocity and stress matching boundary conditions at the interface in between the two domains where each of the two equations is defined. I discuss new existence results for a range of regularity in the initial data and the differences in the exsitence results when domains with non-flat boundaries are considered.

Infinite-energy 2D statistical solutions to the equations of incompressible fluids

We develop the concept of an infinite-energy statistical solution to the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations in the whole plane. We use a velocity formulation with enough generality to encompass initial velocities having bounded vorticity, which includes the important special case of vortex patch initial data. Our approach is to use well-studied properties of statistical solutions in a ball of radius R to construct, in the limit as R goes to infinity, an infinite-energy solution to the Navier-Stokes equations. We then construct an infinite-energy statistical solution to the Euler equations by making a vanishing viscosity argument.

Analyticity and Gevrey-class regularity for the Euler equations on domains with boundary

We estimate the domain of analyticity and Gevrey-class regularity of solutions to the Euler equations on the half-space, and on a three-dimensional bounded domain. We obtain new lower bounds for the rate of decay of the real-analyticity radius of the solution, which depend algebraically on the Sobolev norm. In the case of the bounded domain, using Lagrangian coordinates, we prove the persistence of the non-analytic Gevrey-class regularity.
