Existence, a priori and a posteriori error estimates for a nonlinear three-field problem arising from Oldroyd-B viscoelastic flows

Marco Picasso, Jacques Rappaz (2001)

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

In this paper, a nonlinear problem corresponding to a simplified Oldroyd-B model without convective terms is considered. Assuming the domain to be a convex polygon, existence of a solution is proved for small relaxation times. Continuous piecewise linear finite elements together with a Galerkin Least Square (GLS) method are studied for solving this problem. Existence and a priori error estimates are established using a Newton-chord fixed point theorem, a posteriori error estimates are also derived....

Existence and uniqueness for non-linear singular integral equations used in fluid mechanics

E. G. Ladopoulos, V. A. Zisis (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Non-linear singular integral equations are investigated in connection with some basic applications in two-dimensional fluid mechanics. A general existence and uniqueness analysis is proposed for non-linear singular integral equations defined on a Banach space. Therefore, the non-linear equations are defined over a finite set of contours and the existence of solutions is investigated for two different kinds of equations, the first and the second kind. Moreover, the existence of solutions is further...

Existence and uniqueness of solutions for a degenerate quasilinear parabolic problem.

Maurizio Badii (1994)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We consider the following quasilinear parabolic equation of degenerate type with convection term ut = φ (u)xx + b(u)x in (-L,0) x (0,T). We solve the associate initial-boundary data problem, with nonlinear flux conditions. This problem describes the evaporation of an incompressible fluid from a homogeneous porous media. The nonlinear condition in x = 0 means that the flow of fluid leaving the porous media depends on variable meteorological conditions and in a nonlinear manner on u. In x = -L we...

Existence and uniqueness results for non-Newtonian fluids of the Oldroyd type in unbounded domains

Rodolfo Salvi (2005)

Banach Center Publications

In the paper [13], we give the full system of equations modelling the motion of a fluid/viscoelastic solid system, and obtain a differential model similar to the so-called Oldroyd model for a viscoelastic fluid. Moreover, existence results in bounded domains are obtained. In this paper we extend the results in [13] to unbounded domains. The unique solvability of the system of equations is established locally in time and globally in time with so-called smallness restrictions. Moreover, existence...
