Understanding the properties of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDE) is a fundamental challenge in modern pure and applied mathematics. The goal of the research projects is to gain new insightinto three specific areas of evolutionary PDE. (A) Large solutions of one-dimensional systems of conservation laws:The combined effects of large data and nonlinear effects pose a basic challenge as well as being of obvious importance in applications. Building on existing work this project aims at giving further examples of blowup solutions, understanding their stability properties, and identifying assumptions guaranteeing global existence of large solutions.(B) Existence and qualitative properties of solutions for particular systems of multi-dimensional systems of conservation laws. Multi-dimensional equations display an exceedingly richvariety of behaviors and there is currently no general existence result available for global solutions. Recent examples of blowup demonstrate that the small variation theory for one-dimensionalsystems cannot be generalized to several space dimensions. The research aims at a "bottom-up" approach where insight is obtained from specific cases. The systems will be chosen to provide simplified, but non-trivial, examples with strong structural constraints. The goal is to create a toolbox of methods that can be applied to more general systems. Both analytical and numerical tools will be employed to gain insight into the structure of the solutions.(C) The Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flow provide a basicmodel of importance in a wide range of applications. The goal of this project is to investigate three issues: formation of vacuums (cavitation), the effect of including temperature dependence in the transport coefficients (viscosities and heat conductivity), and multi-dimensional flows with large amplitudes. The various projects will also address the significant numerical challenges one faces in computing large or multi-dimensional solutions, and flows containing vacuums. Vice versa, exact solutionswill be used to benchmark various computational codes.The projects aims at a better understanding of how nonlinear mechanisms interact with one- or multi-dimensional effects in equations that are extensively used in physical models, ranging from properties of materials and to fluid flow and meteorology. While these issues are of independent theoretical interest they are also of obvious importance in applications to Science and Engineering. Several of the projects require development and testing of high performance computer codes with important applications in everyday simulations. A combined approach of analytical techniques, modeling, and numerical calculations will enhance basic understanding of fluid flow and its applications.

理解非线性偏微分方程 (PDE) 的性质是现代纯数学和应用数学的一项基本挑战。这些研究项目的目标是获得对进化偏微分方程三个特定领域的新见解。 （A）一维守恒定律系统的大解：大数据和非线性效应的综合影响提出了基本挑战，并且在应用中具有明显的重要性。在现有工作的基础上，该项目旨在提供爆炸解的更多示例，了解其稳定性属性，并确定保证大型解的全局存在的假设。(B) 守恒定律多维系统的特定系统解的存在性和定性属性。多维方程表现出极其丰富的行为，目前还没有通用的存在结果可用于全局解。最近的爆炸例子表明，一维系统的小变分理论不能推广到多个空间维度。该研究旨在采用“自下而上”的方法，从具体案例中获得见解。将选择系统来提供具有强大结构约束的简化但不平凡的示例。目标是创建一个可应用于更通用系统的方法工具箱。将使用分析和数值工具来深入了解解决方案的结构。(C) 流体流动的纳维-斯托克斯方程提供了在广泛应用中具有重要意义的基本模型。该项目的目标是研究三个问题：真空的形成（空化）、传输系数中温度依赖性的影响（粘度和导热率）以及大振幅的多维流动。各个项目还将解决人们在计算大型或多维解决方案以及包含真空的流动时所面临的重大数值挑战。 反之亦然，精确的解决方案将用于对各种计算代码进行基准测试。这些项目旨在更好地理解非线性机制如何与方程中的一维或多维效应相互作用，这些方程广泛用于物理模型，范围从材料的属性到流体流动和气象学。 虽然这些问题具有独立的理论意义，但它们在科学和工程的应用中也具有明显的重要性。其中一些项目需要开发和测试在日常模拟中具有重要应用的高性能计算机代码。分析技术、建模和数值计算的结合方法将增强对流体流动及其应用的基本理解。
