In this talk we will start with discussion of shock reflectionphenomena. Then we describe recent results on existence and stability of global solutions to regular shock reflection for potential flowfor all wedge angles up to the sonic angle, and discuss the techniques.The approach is to reduce the shock reflection problem to a freeboundary probl...

Our talk is about ionic currents from an electrolyte solution into a charge selective solid, such as, an electrode, an ion exchange membrane or an array of nano-channels in a micro-fluidic system, and the related viscous fluid flows on the length scales varying from nanometers to millimeters. All systems of this kind have characteristic voltage-...
