We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg (N-S-K) equations. Through a remarkable identity, we reveal a relationship between the quantum hydrodynamic system and capillary fluids. Using some interesting inequalities from quantum fluids theory, we prove the stability of weak solutions for the N-S-K equations in the periodic domain $\Omega {=}^N$, when N=2,3.

We analyze the compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations (Lions, 1998) in the two-dimensional case with ${\displaystyle \gamma =c_p/c_v=2}$. These equations also modelize the shallow water problem in height-flow rate formulation used to solve the flow in lakes and perfectly well-mixed sea. We establish a convergence result for the time-discretized problem when the momentum equation and the continuity equation are solved with the Galerkin method, without adding a penalization term in the continuity equation as it is made in...

We study the flow of a compressible, stationary and irrotational fluid with wake, in a channel, around a convex symmetric profile, with assigned velocity q-infinity at infinity and q-s < q-infinity at the wake. In particular, we study the regularity of the free boundary (for a problem which has non-constant coefficients), in the hodograph plane.

We use $L^{\infty }$ estimates for the inverse Laplacian of the pressure introduced by Plotnikov, Sokolowski and Frehse, Goj, Steinhauer together with the nonlinear potential theory due to Adams, Hedberg, to get a priori estimates and to prove existence of weak solutions to steady isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with the adiabatic constant $\gamma >\frac{1}{3}(1+\sqrt{13})\approx 1.53$ for the flows powered by volume non-potential forces and with $\gamma >\frac{1}{8}(3+\sqrt{41})\approx 1.175$ for the flows powered by potential forces and arbitrary non-volume forces. According to our knowledge,...

This paper is devoted to the study of the weak-strong uniqueness property for full compressible magnetohydrodynamics flows. The governing equations for magnetohydrodynamic flows are expressed by the full Navier-Stokes system for compressible fluids enhanced by forces due to the presence of the magnetic field as well as the gravity and an additional equation which describes the evolution of the magnetic field. Using the relative entropy inequality, we prove that a weak solution coincides with the...
