-theory of the Navier-Stokes flow in the exterior of a moving or rotating obstacle.
The motion of a viscous incompressible fluid flow in bounded domains with a smooth boundary can be described by the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations. This description corresponds to the so-called Eulerian approach. We develop a new approximation method for the Navier-Stokes equations in both the stationary and the non-stationary case by a suitable coupling of the Eulerian and the Lagrangian representation of the flow, where the latter is defined by the trajectories of the particles of the fluid....
The paper analyzes the issue of existence of solutions to linear problems in two dimensional exterior domains, linearizations of the Navier-Stokes equations. The systems are studied with a slip boundary condition. The main results prove the existence of distributional solutions for arbitrary data.
In this paper we deal with the local exact controllability of the Navier-Stokes system with nonlinear Navier-slip boundary conditions and distributed controls supported in small sets. In a first step, we prove a Carleman inequality for the linearized Navier-Stokes system, which leads to null controllability of this system at any time T>0. Then, fixed point arguments lead to the deduction of a local result concerning the exact controllability to the trajectories of the Navier-Stokes system.
Local existence of solutions is proved for equations describing the motion of a magnetohydrodynamic incompressible fluid in a domain bounded by a free surface. In the exterior domain we have an electromagnetic field which is generated by some currents located on a fixed boundary. First by the Galerkin method and regularization techniques the existence of solutions of the linarized equations is proved; next by the method of successive aproximations the local existence is shown for the nonlinear problem....
In this paper we establish the existence and uniqueness of the local solutions to the incompressible Euler equations in , , with any given initial data belonging to the critical Besov spaces . Moreover, a blowup criterion is given in terms of the vorticity field....
In this paper, the Cauchy problem for the Leray--MHD model is investigated. We obtain the logarithmically improved blow-up criterion of smooth solutions for the Leray--MHD model in terms of the magnetic field only in the framework of homogeneous Besov space with negative index.
We examine the Navier-Stokes equations with homogeneous slip boundary conditions coupled with the heat equation with homogeneous Neumann conditions in a bounded domain in ℝ³. The domain is a cylinder along the x₃ axis. The aim of this paper is to show long time estimates without assuming smallness of the initial velocity, the initial temperature and the external force. To prove the estimate we need however smallness of the L₂ norms of the x₃-derivatives of these three quantities.
We prove long time existence of regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the heat equation. We consider the system in a non-axially symmetric cylinder, with the slip boundary conditions for the Navier-Stokes equations, and the Neumann condition for the heat equation. The long time existence is possible because the derivatives, with respect to the variable along the axis of the cylinder, of the initial velocity, initial temperature and external force are assumed to be sufficiently...
Long time existence of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical domains under boundary slip conditions is proved. Moreover, the existence of solutions with no restrictions on the magnitude of the initial velocity and the external force is shown. However, we have to assume that the quantity is sufficiently small, where x₃ is the coordinate along the axis parallel to the cylinder. The time of existence is inversely proportional to I. Existence of solutions is proved by the Leray-Schauder...
Global existence of regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for (v,p) coupled with the heat convection equation for θ is proved in the two-dimensional case in a bounded domain. We assume the slip boundary conditions for velocity and the Neumann condition for temperature. First an appropriate estimate is shown and next the existence is proved by the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem. We prove the existence of solutions such that , , s>2.
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...

This paper presents a model based on spectral hyperviscosity for the simulation of 3D turbulent incompressible flows. One particularity of this model is that the hyperviscosity is active only at the short velocity scales, a feature which is reminiscent of Large Eddy Simulation models. We propose a Fourier–Galerkin approximation of the perturbed Navier–Stokes equations and we show that, as the cutoff wavenumber goes to infinity, the solution of the model converges (up to subsequences) to a weak solution...

We consider a free interface problem for the Navier-Stokes equations. We obtain local in time unique existence of solutions to this problem for any initial data and external forces, and global in time unique existence of solutions for sufficiently small initial data. Thanks to global in time maximal regularity of the linearized problem, we can prove a global in time existence and uniqueness theorem by the contraction mapping principle.
We consider the dynamics of spatially periodic nematic liquid crystal flows in the whole space and prove existence and uniqueness of local-in-time strong solutions using maximal -regularity of the periodic Laplace and Stokes operators and a local-in-time existence theorem for quasilinear parabolic equations à la Clément-Li (1993). Maximal regularity of the Laplace and the Stokes operator is obtained using an extrapolation theorem on the locally compact abelian group to obtain an -bound for the...
