The purpose of this paper is to study a model coupling an incompressible viscous fiuid with an elastic structure in a bounded container. We prove the existence of weak solutions à la Leray as long as no collisions occur.

We consider steady compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier system in a bounded two-dimensional domain. We show the existence of a weak solution for arbitrarily large data for the pressure law $p(\varrho ,\vartheta )\sim {\varrho }^{\gamma }+\varrho \vartheta$ if $\gamma >1$ and $p(\varrho ,\vartheta )\sim \varrho {ln}^{\alpha }(1+\varrho )+\varrho \vartheta$ if $\gamma =1$, $\alpha >0$, depending on the model for the heat flux.

Consider the flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid past a rotating obstacle with velocity at infinity parallel to the axis of rotation. After a coordinate transform in order to reduce the problem to a Navier-Stokes system on a fixed exterior domain and a subsequent linearization we are led to a modified Oseen system with two additional terms one of which is not subordinate to the Laplacean. In this paper we describe two different approaches to this problem in the whole space case. One of them...

In this paper, we consider the interaction between a rigid body and an incompressible, homogeneous, viscous fluid. This fluid-solid system is assumed to fill the whole space ${ℝ}^d$, $d=2$ or $3$. The equations for the fluid are the classical Navier-Stokes equations whereas the motion of the rigid body is governed by the standard conservation laws of linear and angular momentum. The time variation of the fluid domain (due to the motion of the rigid body) is not known a priori, so we deal with a free boundary...

In this paper we show that the Euler equation for incompressible fluids in R2 is well posed in the (vector-valued) Lebesgue spacesLsp = (1 - ∆)-s/2 Lp(R2) with s > 1 + 2/p, 1 < p < ∞and that the same is true of the Navier-Stokes equation uniformly in the viscosity ν.
