Local well-posedness and singularity formation in non-Newtonian compressible fluids

We investigate the initial value problem of a very general class of $3+1$ non-Newtonian compressible fluids in which the viscous stress tensor with shear and bulk viscosity relaxes to its Navier-Stokes values. These fluids correspond to the non-relativistic limit of well-known Israel-Stewart-like theories used in the relativistic fluid dynamic simulations of high-energy nuclear and astrophysical systems. After establishing the local well-posedness of the Cauchy problem, we show for the first time in the literature that there exists a large class of initial data for which the corresponding evolution breaks down in finite time due to the formation of singularities. This implies that a large class of non-Newtonian fluids do not have finite solutions defined at all times.

Whispering gallery orbits in Sinai oscillator trap

Experimental realizations of trapping Bose Einstein condensate lead to a Hamiltonian system of a classical particle bouncing off a convex scatterer in the field of an attracting potential. It is shown by application of KAM theory that under some natural conditions there exists positive measure of quasiperiodic solutions near the boundary.
