The aim of this work is to deduce the existence of solution of a coupled problem arising in elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The lubricant pressure and concentration are modelled by Reynolds equation, jointly with the free-boundary Elrod-Adams model in order to take into account cavitation phenomena. The bearing deformation is solution of Koiter model for thin shells. The existence of solution to the variational problem presents some difficulties: the coupled character of the equations, the nonlinear...

The swelling and shrinkage of biological tissues are modelled by a four-component mixture theory in which a deformable and charged porous medium is saturated with a fluid with dissolved ions. Four components are defined: solid, liquid, cations and anions. The aim of this paper is the construction of the Lagrangian model of the four-component system. It is shown that, with the choice of Lagrangian description of the solid skeleton, the motion of the other components can be described in terms of...
We present two-dimensional simulations of chemotactic self-propelled bacteria swimming in
a viscous fluid. Self-propulsion is modelled by a couple of forces of same intensity and
opposite direction applied on the rigid bacterial body and on an associated region in the
fluid representing the flagellar bundle. The method for solving the fluid flow and the
motion of the bacteria is based on a variational formulation written on the whole domain,
strongly...
