We prove the existence of regular solution to a system of nonlinear equations describing the steady motions of a certain class of non-Newtonian fluids in two dimensions. The equations are completed by requirement that all functions are periodic.
We prove the global in time existence of a small solution for the 3D micropolar fluid system in critical Fourier-Herz spaces by using the Fourier localization method and Littlewood-Paley theory.
The paper is concerned with the solvability theory of the generalized Stokes equations arising in the study of the motion of non-Newtonian fluids.
In this paper we consider weak solutions to the equations of stationary motion of a fluid with shear dependent viscosity in a bounded domain ( or ). For the critical case we prove the higher integrability of which forms the basis for applying the method of differences in order to get fractional differentiability of . From this we show the existence of second order weak derivatives of .
We prove global stability results of DiPerna-Lionsrenormalized solutions for the initial boundary value problem associated to some kinetic equations, from which existence results classically follow. The (possibly nonlinear) boundary conditions are completely or partially diffuse, which includes the so-called Maxwell boundary conditions, and we prove that it is realized (it is not only a boundary inequality condition as it has been established in previous works). We are able to deal with Boltzmann,...
Many electrorheological fluids are suspensions consisting of solid particles and a carrier oil. If such a suspension is exposed to a strong electric field the effective viscosity increases dramatically. In this paper we first derive a model which captures this behaviour. For the resulting system of equations we then prove local in time existence of strong solutions for large data. For these solutions we finally derive error estimates for a fully implicit time-discretization.
A numerical model to compute the dynamics of glaciers is presented. Ice damage due to cracks or crevasses can be taken into account whenever needed. This model allows simulations of the past and future retreat of glaciers, the calving process or the break-off of hanging glaciers. All these phenomena are strongly affected by climate change.Ice is assumed to behave as an incompressible fluid with nonlinear viscosity, so that the velocity and pressure...
In this note we give an overview of recent results in the theory of electrorheological fluids and the theory of function spaces with variable exponents. Moreover, we present a detailed and self-contained exposition of shifted -functions that are used in the studies of generalized Newtonian fluids and problems with -structure.
