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

Lisa Santos (1993)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

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.

On the well-balance property of Roe’s method for nonconservative hyperbolic systems. Applications to shallow-water systems

Carlos Parés, Manuel Castro (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximations of Cauchy problems for one-dimensional nonconservative hyperbolic systems. The first goal is to introduce a general concept of well-balancing for numerical schemes solving this kind of systems. Once this concept stated, we investigate the well-balance properties of numerical schemes based on the generalized Roe linearizations introduced by [Toumi, J. Comp. Phys. 102 (1992) 360–373]. Next, this general theory is applied to obtain well-balanced...

On uniqueness for bounded channel flows of viscoelastic fluids

Marshall J. Leitman, Epifanio G. Virga (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

It was conjectured in [1] that there is at most one bounded channel flow for a viscoelastic fluid whose stress relaxation function G is positive, integrable, and strictly convex. In this paper we prove the uniqueness of bounded channel flows, assuming G to be non-negative, integrable, and convex, but different from a very specific piecewise linear function. Furthermore, whenever these hypotheses apply, the unbounded channel flows, if any, must grow in time faster than any polynomial.

On various types of viscous two-fluid flows

Jürgen Socolowsky (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Viscous two-fluid flows arise in different kinds of coating technologies. Frequently, the corresponding mathematical models represent two-dimensional free boundary value problems for the Navier-Stokes equations or their modifications. In this review article we present some results about nonisothermal stationary as well as about isothermal evolutionary viscous flow problems. The temperature-depending problems are characterized by coupled heat- and mass transfer and also by thermocapillary convection....

On weak solutions of steady Navier-Stokes equations for monatomic gas

Jan Březina, Antonín Novotný (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We use L estimates for the inverse Laplacian of the pressure introduced by Plotnikov, Sokolowski and Frehse, Goj, Steinhauer together with the nonlinear potential theory due to Adams, Hedberg, to get a priori estimates and to prove existence of weak solutions to steady isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with the adiabatic constant γ > 1 3 ( 1 + 13 ) 1 . 53 for the flows powered by volume non-potential forces and with γ > 1 8 ( 3 + 41 ) 1 . 175 for the flows powered by potential forces and arbitrary non-volume forces. According to our knowledge,...

On weak solutions to the equations of non-stationary motion of heat-conducting incompressible viscous fluids: defect measure and energy equality

Joachim Naumann (2008)

Banach Center Publications

We consider the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations completed by the equation of conservation of internal energy. The viscosity of the fluid is assumed to depend on the temperature, and the dissipation term is the only heat source in the conservation of internal energy. For the system of PDE's under consideration, we prove the existence of a weak solution such that: 1) the weak form of the conservation of internal energy involves a defect measure, and 2) the equality for the total energy is satisfied....

On weak-strong uniqueness property for full compressible magnetohydrodynamics flows

Weiping Yan (2013)

Open Mathematics

This paper is devoted to the study of the weak-strong uniqueness property for full compressible magnetohydrodynamics flows. The governing equations for magnetohydrodynamic flows are expressed by the full Navier-Stokes system for compressible fluids enhanced by forces due to the presence of the magnetic field as well as the gravity and an additional equation which describes the evolution of the magnetic field. Using the relative entropy inequality, we prove that a weak solution coincides with the...
