Abstract
The study of vacuum is important in understanding the motion of a gaseous star or shallow water. The mathematical difficulty is the degeneracy caused by vacuum. In this talk, I will review some interesting problems of vacuum states arising in gas and fluid dynamics, and present the current status in the rigorous understanding of compressible Euler flows near vacuum.
