A uniqueness theorem for nonstationary Navier-Stokes flow past an obstacle
It is proved that there can exist at most one solution of the homogeneous Dirichlet problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in 3-dimensional space which is approximable by a given consistent and regular approximation scheme.
In questa Nota si fornisce un teorema di unicità per soluzioni regolari delle equazioni di Navier-Stokes in domini esterni. Tale teorema non richiede che le velocità tendano ad un prefissato limite all'infinito, mentre il gradiente di pressione è supposto essere di -ma potenza sommabile nel cilindro spazio-temporale . Questo risultato non può essere ulteriormente generalizzato al caso , a causa di noti controesempi.
In this paper we elaborate a model to describe some aspects of the human lung considered as a continuous, deformable, medium. To that purpose, we study the asymptotic behavior of a spring-mass system with dissipation. The key feature of our approach is the nature of this dissipation phenomena, which is related here to the flow of a viscous fluid through a dyadic tree of pipes (the branches), each exit of which being connected to an air pocket (alvelola) delimited by two successive masses. The...
We are interested in simulating blood flow in arteries with variable elasticity with a one dimensional model. We present a well-balanced finite volume scheme based on the recent developments in shallow water equations context. We thus get a mass conservative scheme which also preserves equilibria of Q = 0. This numerical method is tested on analytical tests.
Small perturbations of an equilibrium plasma satisfy the linearized magnetohydrodynamics equations. These form a mixed elliptic-hyperbolic system that in a straight-field geometry and for a fixed time frequency may be reduced to a single scalar equation div, where may have singularities in the domaind of definition. We study the case when is a half-plane and possesses high Fourier components, analyzing the changes brought about by the singularity . We show that absorptions of energy takes...
In meteorology and magnetohydrodynamics many different boundary layers appear. Some of them are already mathematically well known, like Ekman or Hartmann layers. Others remain unstudied, and can be much more complex. The aim of this paper is to give a simple and unified presentation of the main boundary layers, and to propose a simple method to derive their sizes and equations.
This is a report on project initiated with Anne Nouri [3], presently in progress, with the collaboration of Nicolas Besse [2] ([2] is mainly the material of this report) . It concerns a version of the Vlasov equation where the self interacting potential is replaced by a Dirac mass. Emphasis is put on the relations between the linearized version, the full non linear problem and also on natural connections with several other equations of mathematical physic.
The main result of this talk is a global existence theorem for the water waves equation with smooth, small, and decaying at infinity Cauchy data. We obtain moreover an asymptotic description in physical coordinates of the solution, which shows that modified scattering holds.The proof is based on a bootstrap argument involving and estimates. The bounds are proved in the paper [5]. They rely on a normal forms paradifferential method allowing one to obtain energy estimates on the Eulerian formulation...
