description: This book deals with explosive instabilities in mechanics, deriving a solution to a system of PDEs that arise in practical situations. It begins with a relatively simple account of blow-up in systems of interaction-diffusion equations. Among the topics presented classical fluid equations, catastrophic behavior in nonlinear fluid theories, blow-up in Volterra equations, and rapid energy growth in parallel flows.
