On the second order slip Reynolds equation with molecular dynamics: existence and uniqueness.
On the solution of linear algebraic systems arising from the semi–implicit DGFE discretization of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations
We deal with the numerical simulation of a motion of viscous compressible fluids. We discretize the governing Navier–Stokes equations by the backward difference formula – discontinuous Galerkin finite element (BDF-DGFE) method, which exhibits a sufficiently stable, efficient and accurate numerical scheme. The BDF-DGFE method requires a solution of one linear algebra system at each time step. In this paper, we deal with these linear algebra systems with the aid of an iterative solver. We discuss...
On the solvability of some initial boundary value problems of magnetofluidmechanics with Hall and ion-slip effects
The solvability of three linear initial-boundary value problems for the system of equations obtained by linearization of MHD equations is established. The equations contain terms corresponding to Hall and ion-slip currents. The solutions are found in the Sobolev spaces with and in anisotropic Holder spaces.
On the spatial analyticity of solutions to the Keller-Segel equations
The regularizing rate of solutions to the Keller-Segel equations in the whole space is estimated just as for the heat equation. As an application of these rate estimates, it is proved that the solution is analytic in spatial variables. Spatial analyticity implies that the propagation speed is infinite, i.e., the support of the solution coincides with the whole space for any short time, even if the support of the initial datum is compact.

On the stability of compressible Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations
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 , when N=2,3.

On the stationary Boltzmann equation
For stationary kinetic equations, entropy dissipation can sometimes be used in existence proofs similarly to entropy in the time dependent situation. Recent results in this spirit obtained in collaboration with A. Nouri, are here presented for the nonlinear stationary Boltzmann equation in bounded domains of with given indata and diffuse reflection on the boundary.

On the variational inequality approach to compressible flows via hodograph method.
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.

Optimal control and “strange term" for a Stokes problem in perforated domains.
Optimal control of fluid flow in soil 1. Deterministic case.
We study the numerical aspect of the optimal control of problems governed by a linear elliptic partial differential equation (PDE). We consider here the gas flow in porous media. The observed variable is the flow field we want to maximize in a given part of the domain or its boundary. The control variable is the pressure at one part of the boundary or the discharges of some wells located in the interior of the domain. The objective functional is a balance between the norm of the flux in the observation...
Optimal control of the Primitive Equations of the ocean with Lagrangian observations
We consider an optimal control problem for the three-dimensional non-linear Primitive Equations of the ocean in a vertically bounded and horizontally periodic domain. We aim to reconstruct the initial state of the ocean from Lagrangian observations. This inverse problem is formulated as an optimal control problem which consists in minimizing a cost function representing the least square error between Lagrangian observations and their model counterpart, plus a regularization term. This paper proves...
