Many fluid instabilities involving free surfaces are governed by interfacial forces - for instance surface tension. However, some materials have surface forces produced by active physical processes not present in the bulk fluid, such as forces due to...

University of Victoria
Point singularities of very weak solutions of 3D stationary Navier-Stokes equations - Tai-Peng Tsai I will talk about a joint work with Hideyuki Miura, which characterizes the singularities of very weak solutions bounded by $C_*|x|^{-1}$ for $C_*$...

Curvature functionals arise naturally in geometry, physics and biology. In this talk I will introduce the Willmore functional and supercritical modifications thereof. Then I will study the existence and regularity properties of the critical points of...
