Title: Spectral stability of steady solutions in some shallow water models
Abstract: We consider some shallow water models that admit various steady solutions depending on the prescribed boundary conditions and bottom topography. In particular, discontinuous steady solutions arise when the flow undergoes a transition from a supercritical to a subcritical regime, whereas continuous transcritical solutions occur in transitions from subcritical to supercritical flow. We investigate the linear stability of these steady flows. This talk is based on the ongoing project with Miguel Rodrigues (University of Rennes) and Nina Aguillon (Sorbonne University).

Title: On a free boundary problem of the Boltzmann equation
Abstract: We concern a free boundary value problem for the Boltzmann equation that models the interaction of a rarefied gas with a moving wall --- a classical piston problem in kinetic theory. While free boundary problems for fluid dynamic equations have been extensively investigated, their counterparts for kinetic models remain largely open due to the intrinsic difficulties caused by limited regularity and the strong coupling between particle transport and boundary motion. In the talk, we report a recent result on the topic with focus on the one-dimensional stability. Joint with Shengchuang Chang and Shuangqian Liu.

Title: Stability of vortex dipoles
Abstract: We consider the existence, uniqueness, and geometric properties of vortex dipoles, which are pairs of steadily-translating and counter-rotating vortices. First, we make precise the notion that the Lamb dipole, an explicit traveling wave solution described by Lamb back in 1895, is the dipole with "maximal mass" under enstrophy and impulse constraints. Then we discuss rigidity of dipoles near the Lamb dipole. Lastly, we discuss stability of multiple Lamb dipoles, allowing for dipoles with mixed signs. This is based on joint works with Ken Abe, Kyudong Choi, Guolin Qin, Yao Yao, and Weicheng Zhan.

Title: Decay properties of the compressible Navier-Stokes system on the half space
Abstract: In this talk I will consider the large time behavior of small strong solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes system on a half space under the nonslip boundary condition around the motionless state. It is shown that the L^\infty norm of the spatial derivatives of the perturbation of the motionless state decays slower than that in the case of the Cauchy problem on the whole space when the initial perturbation is sufficiently small in some L^2- Soblev space. The decay rate is optimal in a certain sense. I also consider the asymptotic expansion of the perturbation if, in addition, the initial perturbation belongs to L^1. This talk is based on joint works with T. Kobayashi (Univ. Osaka), R. Nakasato (Shinshu Univ.) and M. Okita (Kurume College).

Title: Global well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of large strong solutions to compressible fluids with variable coefficients
Abstract: In this talk, we discuss the 3D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent or temperature-dependent coefficients in the whole space. We establish the global existence of large strong solution when the initial density and the initial temperature are linearly equivalent to some large constant states. Moreover, the optimal decay rates of the solution to its associated equilibrium are established. This is a joint work with Peng Lu and Zhaoyang Shang.

Title: Global solvability and the zero activity limit for the active nematic liquid crystal model
Abstract: Active nematics are orientationally ordered materials whose particles consume internal energy and generate internal stresses, leading to spontaneous flows. In this talk, we consider the active Beris-Edwards model describing the motion of active nematic liquid crystals in the whole space. We prove the global solvability of the system for sufficiently small initial data. Our approach is based on the maximal Lp-Lq regularity and decay estimates for analytic semigroup, which yield suitable time-weighted estimates for the nonlinear problem. As a consequence of the global estimates, we also discuss the active-to-passive limit: as the activity parameter tends to zero, the global solution of the active system converges to that of the corresponding passive Beris-Edwards model.

Title: Rigidity and flexibility for 2D inviscid Boussinesq system in a periodic channel
Abstract: We study steady solutions of the two-dimensional inviscid Boussinesq system in a periodic channel. Our main interest is to understand when steady states near shear flows are rigid, and when nontrivial nearby structures can occur. We present several rigidity and flexibility results, highlighting the roles of stable stratification and stagnation points. In particular, we discuss situations in which laminar steady states are forced to be shear flows, as well as regimes where non-shear and even non-laminar steady states can bifurcate from shear profiles. This is a joint work with Marc Nualart (ICMAT) and Javier Penafiel-Tomas (EPFL).

Title: Lower bounds for the lifespan of solutions to the Euler--Korteweg equations
Abstract: We consider the initial value problem for the Euler--Korteweg equations in the class of irrotational flows. In space dimensions two and higher, we establish a quantitative lower bound for the lifespan of solutions that explicitly exhibits its dependence on the Weber number, the Mach number, and the Sobolev norm of the initial perturbation. In particular, this lower bound can be taken arbitrarily large in a low-Weber-number regime under a suitable algebraic relation between the Mach and Weber numbers. This talk is based on joint work with Haruhiro Kurabe and Tomoaki Yoshizawa (The University of Tokyo).

Title: Some classifications of solutions for the Euler system and their applications
Abstract: The steady solutions for the Euler system are not only used to describe the possible asymptotic states of unsteady flows, but also used to describle some important physical process. Since the Euler system is translation and rotation invariant, a natural question is whether steady solutions inherit the symmetry when the domain has certain symmetry. We will discuss our recent results on classifications of these solutions in terms of the flow angles. Furthermore, we also show that the solutions are rotation invariant when the vorticity is differentiable, bounded, and integrable. Finally, as the steady solutions of the Euler system may not be unique in a given domain, we investigate the selection principle of the steady solutions via the vanishing viscosity limit.

Title: Theories for kinetic equations with scaling invariance
Abstract: In this talk, we will first discuss the well-posedness of the Boltzmann without angular cutoff and Landau equations in critical function spaces—a fundamental open problem in kinetic theory. The main observation lies in the introduction of a novel anisotropic norm adapted to the intrinsic scaling invariance of the equations, which provides precise control over the high-frequency behavior of solutions. Then we will present a study on the Green’s function in short time with a nonnegative Hölder background profile. Finally, we will study the global forward self-similar solutions to Boltzmann equation with cutoff Maxwell molecules. The talk is based on some recent joint work with Ke Chen, Quoc-Hung Nguyen and Jiaqi Yang.

Title: Recent Progress in Inclined Thin-Film Flows
Abstract: The inviscid Saint-Venant equations serve as a canonical model for inclined thin-film flows. These equations support two distinct types of traveling-wave solutions: Dressler’s periodic roll waves and hydraulic shocks. Periodic roll waves emerge when uniform laminar flows become unstable, while hydraulic shocks develop from the sudden release of a dam separating fluids of different depths. In both scenarios, the maximum fluid heights can greatly exceed those of the corresponding steady laminar flows with the same discharge, leading to potentially severe water overflow. Hence, the existence and stability of these waves attract attention in both hydraulic engineering and mathematics. In this talk, we review recent longitudinal stability results for both types of waves, as well as multidimensional stability results for planar waves considered as solutions to the two-dimensional Saint-Venant equations. We will also discuss current difficulties encountered when constructing permanent flows in two dimensions and other related aspects.
