Modeling, mathematical and numerical analysis of electrorheological fluids

Michael Růžička (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

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.

Modeling of the resonance of an acoustic wave in a torus

Jérôme Adou, Adama Coulibaly, Narcisse Dakouri (2013)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

A pneumatic tyre in rotating motion with a constant angular velocity Ω is assimilated to a torus whose generating circle has a radius R . The contact of the tyre with the ground is schematized as an ellipse with semi-major axis a . When ( Ω R / C 0 ) ≪ 1 and ( a / R ) ≪ 1 (where C 0 is the velocity of the sound), we show that at the rapid time scale R / C 0 , the air motion within a torus periodically excited on its surface generates an acoustic wave h . A study of this acoustic wave is conducted and shows that the mode associated to...

Modelling geophysical flows in the equatorial zone

Laure Saint-Raymond (2005)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We present here a series of works which aims at describing geophysical flows in the equatorial zone, taking into account the dominating influence of the earth rotation. We actually proceed by successive approximations computing for each model the response of the fluid to the strong Coriolis penalisation. The main difficulty is due to the spatial variations of the Coriolis acceleration : in particular, as it vanishes at the equator, fast oscillations are trapped in a thin strip of latitudes.

Modelling the Impact of Pericyte Migration and Coverage of Vessels on the Efficacy of Vascular Disrupting Agents

S. R. McDougall, M. A.J. Chaplain, A. Stéphanou, A. R.A. Anderson (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Over the past decade or so, there have been a large number of modelling approaches aimed at elucidating the most important mechanisms affecting the formation of new capillaries from parent blood vessels — a process known as angiogenesis. Most studies have focussed upon the way in which capillary sprouts are initiated and migrate in response to diffusible chemical stimuli supplied by hypoxic stromal cells and leukocytes in the contexts of solid tumour...

Multicomponent models in nuclear astrophysics

Bernard Ducomet (2008)

Banach Center Publications

We consider hydrodynamical models describing the evolution of a gaseous star in which the presence of thermonuclear reactions between several species leads to a multicomponent formulation. In the case of binary mixtures, recent 3D results are evoked. In the one-dimensional situation, we can prove global estimates and stabilization for some simplified model.
