Formal passage from kinetic theory to incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for a mixture of gases

Marzia Bisi, Laurent Desvillettes (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We present in this paper the formal passage from a kinetic model to the incompressible Navier−Stokes equations for a mixture of monoatomic gases with different masses. The starting point of this derivation is the collection of coupled Boltzmann equations for the mixture of gases. The diffusion coefficients for the concentrations of the species, as well as the ones appearing in the equations for velocity and temperature, are explicitly computed under the Maxwell molecule assumption in terms of the...

Formation of Singularities for Weakly Non-Linear N×N Hyperbolic Systems

Boiti, Chiara, Manfrin, Renato (2001)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We present some results on the formation of singularities for C^1 - solutions of the quasi-linear N × N strictly hyperbolic system Ut + A(U )Ux = 0 in [0, +∞) × Rx . Under certain weak non-linearity conditions (weaker than genuine non-linearity), we prove that the first order derivative of the solution blows-up in finite time.

Forms, functional calculus, cosine functions and perturbation

Wolfgang Arendt, Charles J. K. Batty (2007)

Banach Center Publications

In this article we describe properties of unbounded operators related to evolutionary problems. It is a survey article which also contains several new results. For instance we give a characterization of cosine functions in terms of mild well-posedness of the Cauchy problem of order 2, and we show that the property of having a bounded H -calculus is stable under rank-1 perturbations whereas the property of being associated with a closed form and the property of generating a cosine function are not....
