Many electrorheological fluids are suspensions consisting of solid particles and a carrier oil. If such a suspension is exposed to a strong electric field the effective viscosity increases dramatically. In this paper we first derive a model which captures this behaviour. For the resulting system of equations we then prove local in time existence of strong solutions for large data. For these solutions we finally derive error estimates for a fully implicit time-discretization.
We consider a generic scalar model for the Oseen equations in an exterior three-dimensional domain. We assume the case of a non-constant coefficient function. Using a variational approach we prove new regularity properties of a weak solution whose existence and uniqueness in anisotropically weighted Sobolev spaces were proved in [10]. Because we use some facts and technical tools proved in the above mentioned paper, we give also a brief review of its results and methods.
We consider the Burgers equation and prove a property which seems to have been unobserved until now: there is no limitation on the growth of the nonnegative initial datum u0(x) at infinity when the problem is formulated on unbounded intervals, as, e.g. (0 +∞), and the solution is unique without prescribing its behaviour at infinity. We also consider the associate stationary problem. Finally, some applications to the linear heat equation with boundary conditions of Robin type are also given.
In this note we give an overview of recent results in the theory of electrorheological fluids and the theory of function spaces with variable exponents. Moreover, we present a detailed and self-contained exposition of shifted -functions that are used in the studies of generalized Newtonian fluids and problems with -structure.
We introduce in this paper some elements for the mathematical and numerical analysis of algebraic turbulence models for
oceanic surface mixing layers. In these models the turbulent diffusions are parameterized by means of the gradient Richardson number, that measures the balance between stabilizing buoyancy forces and destabilizing shearing forces. We analyze the existence and linear exponential asymptotic stability of continuous and discrete equilibria states. We also analyze the well-posedness...
The paper examines the steady Navier-Stokes equations in a three-dimensional infinite pipe with mixed boundary conditions (Dirichlet and slip boundary conditions). The velocity of the fluid is assumed to be constant at infinity. The main results show the existence of weak solutions with no restriction on smallness of the flux vector and boundary conditions.
We consider the two-dimesional spatially periodic problem for an evolutionary system describing unsteady motions of the fluid with shear-dependent viscosity under general assumptions on the form of nonlinear stress tensors that includes those with -structure. The global-in-time existence of a weak solution is established. Some models where the nonlinear operator corresponds to the case are covered by this analysis.
This paper deals with a nonstationary problem for the Navier-Stokes equations with a free slip boundary condition in an exterior domain. We obtain a global in time unique solvability theorem and temporal asymptotic behavior of the global strong solution when the initial velocity is sufficiently small in the sense of Lⁿ (n is dimension). The proof is based on the contraction mapping principle with the aid of estimates for the Stokes semigroup associated with a linearized problem, which is also...
We investigate the existence of weak solutions and their smoothness properties for a generalized Stokes problem. The generalization is twofold: the Laplace operator is replaced by a general second order linear elliptic operator in divergence form and the “pressure” gradient is replaced by a linear operator of first order.
Existence of solutions for equations of the nonstationary Stokes system in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ ℝ³ is proved in a class such that velocity belongs to , and pressure belongs to for p > 3. The proof is divided into three steps. First, the existence of solutions with vanishing initial data is proved in a half-space by applying the Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorem. Next, we prove the existence of weak solutions in a bounded domain and then we regularize them. Finally, the problem with nonvanishing...
Global existence of regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for velocity and pressure coupled with the heat convection equation for temperature in a cylindrical pipe is shown. We assume the slip boundary conditions for velocity and the Neumann condition for temperature. First we prove long time existence of regular solutions in [kT,(k+1)T]. Having T sufficiently large and imposing some decay estimates on , we continue the local solutions step by step up to a global one.
