Error Estimates for MAC-Like Approximations to the Linear Navier-Stokes Equations.
The incompressible Navier-Stokes problem is discretized in time by the two-step backward differentiation formula. Error estimates are proved under feasible assumptions on the regularity of the exact solution avoiding hardly fulfillable compatibility conditions. Whereas the time-weighted velocity error is of optimal second order, the time-weighted error in the pressure is of first order. Suboptimal estimates are shown for a linearisation. The results cover both the two- and three-dimensional case....

The objective of this work is to obtain theoretical estimates on the large and small scales for geophysical flows. Firstly, we consider the shallow water problem in the one-dimensional case, then in the two-dimensional case. Finally we consider geophysical flows under the hydrostatic hypothesis and the Boussinesq approximation. Scale separation is based on Fourier series, with N models in each spatial direction, and the choice of a cut-off level N1 < N to define large and small scales. We...
Consider the problem of time-periodic strong solutions of the Stokes system modelling viscous incompressible fluid flow past a rotating obstacle in the whole space ℝ³. Introducing a rotating coordinate system attached to the body yields a system of partial differential equations of second order involving an angular derivative not subordinate to the Laplacian. In a recent paper [2] the author proved -estimates of second order derivatives uniformly in the angular and translational velocities, ω and...
We formulate sufficient conditions for regularity up to the boundary of a weak solution v in a subdomain Ω × (t₁,t₂) of the time-space cylinder Ω × (0,T) by means of requirements on one of the eigenvalues of the rate of deformation tensor. We assume that Ω is a cube.
This paper is devoted to Eulerian models for incompressible fluid-structure systems. These models are primarily derived for computational purposes as they allow to simulate in a rather straightforward way complex 3D systems. We first analyze the level set model of immersed membranes proposed in [Cottet and Maitre, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci.16 (2006) 415–438]. We in particular show that this model can be interpreted as a generalization of so-called Korteweg fluids. We then extend this model...
In this paper we present a theory describing the diffusion limited evaporation of sessile water droplets in presence of contact angle hysteresis. Theory describes two stages of evaporation process: (I) evaporation with a constant radius of the droplet base; and (II) evaporation with constant contact angle. During stage (I) the contact angle decreases from static advancing contact angle to static receding contact angle, during stage (II) the contact...
We study the well-posedness of an unsteady fluid-structure interaction problem. We consider a viscous incompressible flow, which is modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations. The structure is a collection of rigid moving bodies. The fluid domain depends on time and is defined by the position of the structure, itself resulting from a stress distribution coming from the fluid. The problem is then nonlinear and the equations we deal with are coupled. We prove its local solvability in time through two...
Dans cet article on s’intéresse à l’existence et l’unicité globale de solutions pour le système de Navier-Stokes à densité variable, lorsque la donnée initiale de la vitesse est dans l’espace de Besov homogène de régularité critique . Notons que ce résultat fait suite aux résultats de H. Abidi qui a généralisé le travail de R. Danchin. Toutefois, dans les travaux antérieurs, l’existence de la solution est obtenue pour et l’unicité est démontrée sous l’hypothèse plus restrictive Notre résultat...
For a bounded domain , we use the notion of very weak solutions to obtain a new and large uniqueness class for solutions of the inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes system , , with , , and very general data classes for , , such that may have no differentiability property. For smooth data we get a large class of unique and regular solutions extending well known classical solution classes, and generalizing regularity results. Moreover, our results are closely related to those of a series of...
