Shock waves are steep wavefronts that are fundamental in nature, especially in high-speed fluid flows. When a shock hits an obstacle, or a flying body meets a shock, shock reflection/diffraction phenomena occur. In this paper, we show how several long-standing shock reflection/diffraction problems can be formulated as free boundary problems, discuss some recent progress in developing mathematical ideas, approaches and techniques for solving these problems, and present some further open problems in this direction. In particular, these shock problems include von Neumann's problem for shock reflection–diffraction by two-dimensional wedges with concave corner, Lighthill's problem for shock diffraction by two-dimensional wedges with convex corner, and Prandtl-Meyer's problem for supersonic flow impinging onto solid wedges, which are also fundamental in the mathematical theory of multidimensional conservation laws.

It is proposed that the formation of the subglacial bedforms known as drumlins occurs through an instability associated with the flow of ice over a wet deformable till. We pose a mathematical model that describes this instability, and we solve a simplified version of the model numerically in order to establish the form of finite-amplitude two-dimensional waveforms. A feature of the solutions is that cavities frequently form downstream of the bedforms; we allow the model to cater for this possibility and we provide an efficient numerical method to solve the resulting free boundary problem.

This paper starts with a generalized Burton, Cabrera and Frank (BCF) model by considering the energetic contribution of the adjacent terraces to the step chemical potential. We use the linear stability analysis of the quasistatic free-boundary problem for a two-dimensional step separated by broad terraces to study the step-meandering instabilities. The results show that the equilibrium adatom coverage has influence on the morphological instabilities.
