Abstract:
Elasticity is important in continuum mechanics with a wide range of applications and is challenging in analysis. In this talk we shall discuss some special elastic effects in elastic fluids, including the stabilizing effect of elasticity on the vortex sheets in compressible elastic flows and on the vanishing viscosity process of compressible viscoelastic flows.
