About the Lab

Professor Hantaek Bae's research lab specializes in the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations arising in fluid dynamics and kinetic theory. The lab focuses on the well-posedness, regularity, and long-time behavior of solutions to equations such as the Navier-Stokes, Euler-Poisson, quasi-geostrophic, and Doi models, particularly in critical and borderline function spaces. Key themes include global existence, analyticity, Gevrey regularity, and critical threshold phenomena in both bounded and unbounded domains.

Solvability of the free boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equations

SJR Q1Discrete and Continuous Dynamical SystemsOA

In this paper, we study the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a moving domain in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ of finite depth, bounded above by the free surface and bounded below by a solid flat bottom. We prove that there exists a unique, global-in-time solution to the problem provided that the initial velocity field and the initial profile of the boundary are sufficiently small in Sobolev spaces.

Critical thresholds in multi-dimensional Euler-Poisson equations with radial symmetry
Hantaek Bae, Eitan Tadmor, Dongming Wei
SJR Q1Communications in Mathematical SciencesOA

We study the global regularity of multi-dimensional repulsive Euler-Poisson equations in the radial setup. We show that the question of global regularity vs. finite breakdown of smooth solutions depends on whether the initial configuration crosses an initial critical threshold in configuration space. Specifically, there exists a global-in-time smooth solution if and only if the initial configuration of density 0 , radial velocity R 0 , and electrical charge e 0 satisfies R 0 F ( 0 ,e 0 ,R 0 ) fo

Gevrey regularity for a class of dissipative equations with analytic nonlinearity

Methods and Applications of AnalysisOA

In this paper, we establish Gevrey class regularity of solutions to a class of dissipative equations with an analytic nonlinearity in the whole space. This generalizes the results of Ferrari and Titi in the periodic space case with initial data in L 2 -based Sobolev spaces to the L p setting and in the whole space. Our generalization also includes considering rougher initial data, in negative Sobolev spaces in some cases including the Navier-Stokes and the subcritical quasi-geostrophic equations

ON THE DOI MODEL FOR THE SUSPENSIONS OF ROD-LIKE MOLECULES IN COMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS
Hantaek Bae, Konstantina Trivisa
SJR Q1Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences

Polymeric fluids arise in many practical applications in biotechnology, medicine, chemistry, industrial processes, and atmospheric sciences. In this paper, the Doi model for the suspensions of rod-like molecules in a compressible fluid is investigated. The model under consideration describes the interaction between the orientation of rod-like polymer molecules on the microscopic scale and the macroscopic properties of the fluid in which these molecules are contained.

On the Doi model for the suspensions of rod-like molecules: global-in-time existence
Hantaek Bae, Konstantina Trivisa
SJR Q1Communications in Mathematical SciencesOA

The Doi model for the suspensions of rod-like molecules in a dilute regime describes the interaction between the orientation of rod-like polymer molecules on the microscopic scale and the macroscopic properties of the fluid in which these molecules are contained (cf. [M. Doi and S.F. Edwards, Oxford University Press, 1986]). The orientation distribution of the rods on the microscopic level is described by a Fokker-Planck-type equation on the sphere, while the fluid flow is given by the Navier-St

GLOBAL EXISTENCE OF WEAK SOLUTIONS TO DISSIPATIVE TRANSPORT EQUATIONS WITH NONLOCAL VELOCITY
Hantaek Bae, Rafael Granero-Belinchón, Omar Lazar
HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)

We consider 1D dissipative transport equations with nonlocal velocity field: θt + uθx + δuxθ + Λ γ θ = 0, u = N (θ), where N is a nonlocal operator given by a Fourier multiplier. Especially we consider two types of nonlocal operators: (1) N = H, the Hilbert transform, (2) N = (1 − ∂xx) −α. In this paper, we show several global existence of weak solutions depending on the range of γ and δ. When 0 < γ < 1, we take initial data having finite energy, while we take initial data in weighted function s

Analyticity of the Subcritical and Critical Quasi-Geostrophic equations in Besov Spaces
Hantaek Bae, Animikh Biswas, Eitan Tadmor
arXiv (Cornell University)OA

We establish analyticity of the subcritical and critical quasi-geostrophic equations in critical Besov spaces. The main method is so-called Gevrey estimates, which is motivated by the work of Foias and Temam. We show that mild solutions θ(t), are Gevrey regular, i.e. they satisfy the estimate \sup_{t&gt;0}\|e^{αt^{1/γ}Λ_1}θ(t)\|_{\cap L}0 and a scaling invariant Besov space {\cap L}.
