We consider a model for the viscoelastic fluid which has recently been studied in [4] and [1]. We show the local-in-time existence of a strong solution to the corresponding system of partial differential equations under less regularity assumptions on the initial data than in the above mentioned papers. The main difference in our approach is the use of the theory for the Stokes system.
It was conjectured in [1] that there is at most one bounded channel flow for a viscoelastic fluid whose stress relaxation function is positive, integrable, and strictly convex. In this paper we prove the uniqueness of bounded channel flows, assuming 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.
A mathematical model of heat and mass transport in non-isothermal partially saturated oil-wax solution was formulated by A. Fasano and M. Primicerio [1]. This paper is devoted to the study of a one-dimensional problem in the framework of that model. The existence of classical solutions in a small time interval is proved, based on the application of a fixed-point theorem to the constructed operator. The technique employed is close to the one of [3] and [4].
This paper is devoted to the numerical solution of stationary laminar Bingham fluids by path-following methods. By using duality theory, a system that characterizes the solution of the original problem is derived. Since this system is ill-posed, a family of regularized problems is obtained and the convergence of the regularized solutions to the original one is proved. For the update of the regularization parameter, a path-following method is investigated. Based on the differentiability properties...

We study the flow of an incompressible homogeneous fluid whose material coefficients depend on the temperature and the shear-rate. For large class of models we establish the existence of a suitable weak solution for two-dimensional flows of fluid in a bounded domain. The proof relies on the reconstruction of the globally integrable pressure, available due to considered Navier’s slip boundary conditions, and on the so-called -truncation method, used to obtain the strong convergence of the velocity...
