The self-consistent chemotaxis-fluid system $$\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{n}_t+u·\nabla n=\Delta n-\nabla ·\left(n\nabla c\right)+\nabla ·\left(n\nabla \phi \right),\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \\ c_t+u·\nabla c=\Delta c-nc,\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \\ u_t+\kappa (u·\nabla )u+\nabla P=\Delta u-n\nabla \phi +n\nabla c,\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \\ \nabla ·u=0,\hfill & x\in \Omega ,t>0,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ is considered under no-flux boundary conditions for $n,c$ and the Dirichlet boundary condition for $u$ on a bounded smooth domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ $(N=2,3)$, $\kappa \in \{0,1\}$. The existence of global bounded classical solutions is proved under a smallness assumption on $\parallel c_0{\parallel }_{L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)}$. Both the effect of gravity (potential force) on cells and the effect of the chemotactic force on fluid are considered here, and thus the coupling is stronger than the most studied chemotaxis-fluid...

We deal with the steady Stokes problem, associated with a flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a spatially periodic profile cascade. Using the reduction to domain $\Omega$, which represents one spatial period, the problem is formulated by means of boundary conditions of three types: the conditions of periodicity on curves ${\Gamma }_{-}$ and ${\Gamma }_{+}$ (lower and upper parts of $\partial \Omega$), the Dirichlet boundary conditions on ${\Gamma }_{\mathrm{in}}$ (the inflow) and ${\Gamma }_0$ (boundary of the profile) and an artificial “do nothing”-type boundary...

We establish the local-in-time existence of a solution to the non-resistive magneto-micropolar fluids with the initial data $u_0\in H^{s-1+\epsilon }$, $w_0\in H^{s-1}$ and $b_0\in H^s$ for $s>\frac{3}{2}$ and any $0<\epsilon <1$. The initial regularity of the micro-rotational velocity $w$ is weaker than velocity of the fluid $u$.

We study the Cauchy problem for the non-Newtonian incompressible fluid with the viscous part of the stress tensor ${\tau }^V\left(𝕖\right)=\tau \left(𝕖\right)-2{\mu }_1\Delta 𝕖$, where the nonlinear function $\tau \left(𝕖\right)$ satisfies ${\tau }_{ij}\left(𝕖\right)e_{ij}\ge c{\left|𝕖\right|}^p$ or ${\tau }_{ij}\left(𝕖\right)e_{ij}\ge {c\left(\right|𝕖|}^2+{\left|𝕖\right|}^p)$. First, the model for the bipolar fluid is studied and existence, uniqueness and regularity of the weak solution is proved for $p>1$ for both models. Then, under vanishing higher viscosity ${\mu }_1$, the Cauchy problem for the monopolar fluid is considered. For the first model the existence of the weak solution is proved for $p>\frac{3n}{n+2}$, its uniqueness...

A space-time formulation for unsteady inviscid compressible flow computations in 2D moving geometries is presented. The governing equations in Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation (ALE) are discretized on two layers of space-time finite elements connecting levels $n$, $n+1/2$ and $n+1$. The solution is approximated with linear variation in space (P1 triangle) combined with linear variation in time. The space-time residual from the lower layer of elements is distributed to the nodes at level...

We consider functionals of a potential energy ${\mathbb{P}}_{\psi }\left(u\right)$ corresponding to $\mathrm{𝑎𝑛}\mathrm{𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐}\mathrm{𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑦}-\mathrm{𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒}\mathrm{𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑚}$. We are dealing with $𝑎\mathrm{𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛}\mathrm{𝑜𝑓}𝑎\mathrm{𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛}\mathrm{𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟}\mathrm{𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒}$ with $\mathrm{𝑁𝑒𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑛}\mathrm{𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑦}\mathrm{𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠}$. Various types of the subsoil of the plate are described by various types of the $\mathrm{𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒}$ nonlinear term $\psi \left(u\right)$. The aim of the paper is to find a suitable computational algorithm.
