We discuss the validity of the Helmholtz decomposition of the Muckenhoupt $A_p$-weighted $L^p$-space ${\left(L_w^p\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ for any domain $\Omega$ in ${ℝ}^n$, $n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $n\ge 2$, $1<p<\infty$ and Muckenhoupt $A_p$-weight $w\in A_p$. Set $p^{\text{'}}:=p/(p-1)$ and $w^{\text{'}}:=w^{-1/(p-1)}$. Then the Helmholtz decomposition of ${\left(L_w^p\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ and ${\left(L_{w^{\text{'}}}^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ and the variational estimate of $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\pi }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$ are equivalent. Furthermore, we can replace $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\pi }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$ by $L_{w,\sigma }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\sigma }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$, respectively. The proof is based on the reflexivity and orthogonality of $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w,\sigma }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and the Hahn-Banach theorem. As a corollary of our main result, we obtain the extrapolation theorem with...

The subject of the paper is the derivation of error estimates for the combined finite volume-finite element method used for the numerical solution of nonstationary nonlinear convection-diffusion problems. Here we analyze the combination of barycentric finite volumes associated with sides of triangulation with the piecewise linear nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart finite elements. Under some assumptions on the regularity of the exact solution, the $L^2\left(L^2\right)$ and $L^2\left(H^1\right)$ error estimates are established. At the end...

In this paper, we present and study a mixed variational method in order to approximate, with the finite element method, a Stokes problem with Tresca friction boundary conditions. These non-linear boundary conditions arise in the modeling of mold filling process by polymer melt, which can slip on a solid wall. The mixed formulation is based on a dualization of the non-differentiable term which define the slip conditions. Existence and uniqueness of both continuous and discrete solutions of these...

The incompressible Navier-Stokes problem is discretized in time by the two-step backward differentiation formula. Error estimates are proved under feasible assumptions on the regularity of the exact solution avoiding hardly fulfillable compatibility conditions. Whereas the time-weighted velocity error is of optimal second order, the time-weighted error in the pressure is of first order. Suboptimal estimates are shown for a linearisation. The results cover both the two- and three-dimensional case....

A new vegetative barrier can help to reduce dust concentration in a surface coal mine neighbourhood. The project reports about quantification of this effect. An air flow field is computed together with the dust transport driven by it using an in-house CFD solver. The 2D cuts of a real geometry of Bílina coal mine in north Bohemia are used. The vegetation is modelled as horizontally homogeneous porous medium which slows the air flow inside. An influence on turbulence and filtering the dust particles...

The objective of this work is to obtain theoretical estimates on the large and small scales for geophysical flows. Firstly, we consider the shallow water problem in the one-dimensional case, then in the two-dimensional case. Finally we consider geophysical flows under the hydrostatic hypothesis and the Boussinesq approximation. Scale separation is based on Fourier series, with N models in each spatial direction, and the choice of a cut-off level N1 &lt; N to define large and small scales. We...

Consider the problem of time-periodic strong solutions of the Stokes system modelling viscous incompressible fluid flow past a rotating obstacle in the whole space ℝ³. Introducing a rotating coordinate system attached to the body yields a system of partial differential equations of second order involving an angular derivative not subordinate to the Laplacian. In a recent paper [2] the author proved $L^q$-estimates of second order derivatives uniformly in the angular and translational velocities, ω and...

A-priori estimates in weighted Hölder norms are obtained for the solutions of a one- dimensional boundary value problem for the heat equation in a domain degenerating at time t = 0 and with boundary data involving simultaneously the first order time derivative and the spatial gradient.

We formulate sufficient conditions for regularity up to the boundary of a weak solution v in a subdomain Ω × (t₁,t₂) of the time-space cylinder Ω × (0,T) by means of requirements on one of the eigenvalues of the rate of deformation tensor. We assume that Ω is a cube.
