In this paper we are concerned with the steady Boussinesq system with mixed boundary conditions. The boundary conditions for fluid may include Tresca slip, leak, one-sided leak, velocity, vorticity, pressure and stress conditions together and the conditions for temperature may include Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin conditions together. For the problem involving the static pressure and stress boundary conditions, it is proved that if the data of the problem are small enough, then there exists a solution...

We study steady flow of a compressible heat conducting viscous fluid in a bounded two-dimensional domain, described by the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system. We assume that the pressure is given by the constitutive equation $p(\rho ,\theta )\sim {\rho }^{\gamma }+\rho \theta$, where $\rho$ is the density and $\theta$ is the temperature. For $\gamma >2$, we prove existence of a weak solution to these equations without any assumption on the smallness of the data. The proof uses special approximation of the original problem, which guarantees the pointwise boundedness of the...

We prove the existence of solution in the class H²(Ω) × H¹(Ω) to the steady compressible Oseen system with slip boundary conditions in a two dimensional, convex domain with boundary of class $H^{5/2}$. The method is to regularize a weak solution obtained via the Galerkin method. The problem of regularization is reduced to the problem of solvability of a certain transport equation by application of the Helmholtz decomposition. The method works under an additional assumption on the geometry of the boundary....

We consider the steady plane flow of certain classes of viscoelastic fluids in exterior domains with a non-zero velocity prescribed at infinity. We study existence as well as asymptotic behaviour of solutions near infinity and show that for sufficiently small data the solution decays near infinity as fast as the fundamental solution to the Oseen problem.

Two species of animals are competing in the same environment. Under what conditions do they coexist peacefully? Or under what conditions does either one of the two species become extinct, that is, is either one of the two species excluded by the other? It is natural to say that they can coexist peacefully if their rates of reproduction and self-limitation are relatively larger than those of competition rates. In other words, they can survive if they interact strongly among themselves and weakly...

The existence of a one-parameter family of stationary solutions to a fragmentation equation with size diffusion is established. The proof combines a fixed point argument and compactness techniques.

In this paper, the axisymmetric flow in an ideal fluid outside the infinite cylinder ($r\le d$) where $(r,\theta ,z)$ denotes the cylindrical co-ordinates in ${ℝ}^3$ is considered. The motion is with swirl (i.e. the $\theta$-component of the velocity of the flow is non constant). The (non-dimensional) equation governing the phenomenon is (Pd) displayed below. It is known from e.g. that for the problem without swirl ($f_q=0$ in (f)) in the whole space, as the flux constant $k$ tends to $\infty$, 1) $\mathrm{dist}(0z,\partial A)=O\left(k^{1/2}\right)$; $\mathrm{diam}A=O(exp(-c_0{k}^{3/2}))$; 2) ${\left(k^{1/2}\Psi \right)}_{k\in \mathbb{N}}$ converges to a vortex cylinder $U_m$ (see...

Steady-state system of equations for incompressible, possibly non-Newtonean of the $p$-power type, viscous flow coupled with the heat equation is considered in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $n=2$ or 3, with heat sources allowed to have a natural $L^1$-structure and even to be measures. The existence of a distributional solution is shown by a fixed-point technique for sufficiently small data if $p>3/2$ (for $n=2$) or if $p>9/5$ (for $n=3$).
