On the Stokes equation with Neumann boundary condition

Yoshihiro Shibata, Senjo Shimizu (2005)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper, we study the nonstationary Stokes equation with Neumann boundary condition in a bounded or an exterior domain in ℝⁿ, which is the linearized model problem of the free boundary value problem. Mainly, we prove L p - L q estimates for the semigroup of the Stokes operator. Comparing with the non-slip boundary condition case, we have the better decay estimate for the gradient of the semigroup in the exterior domain case because of the null force at the boundary.

Operator-splitting and Lagrange multiplier domain decomposition methods for numerical simulation of two coupled Navier-Stokes fluids

Didier Bresch, Jonas Koko (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We present a numerical simulation of two coupled Navier-Stokes flows, using ope-rator-split-ting and optimization-based non-overlapping domain decomposition methods. The model problem consists of two Navier-Stokes fluids coupled, through a common interface, by a nonlinear transmission condition. Numerical experiments are carried out with two coupled fluids; one with an initial linear profile and the other in rest. As expected, the transmission condition generates a recirculation within the fluid...

Optimal convergence results for the Brezzi-Pitkäranta approximation of the Stokes problem: Exterior domains

Serguei A. Nazarov, Maria Specovius-Neugebauer (2008)

Banach Center Publications

This paper deals with a strongly elliptic perturbation for the Stokes equation in exterior three-dimensional domains Ω with smooth boundary. The continuity equation is substituted by the equation -ε²Δp + div u = 0, and a Neumann boundary condition for the pressure is added. Using parameter dependent Sobolev norms, for bounded domains and for sufficiently smooth data we prove H 5 / 2 - δ convergence for the velocity part and H 3 / 2 - δ convergence for the pressure to the solution of the Stokes problem, with δ arbitrarily...

Optimal error Estimates for the Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with slip–boundary condition

Eberhard Bänsch, Klaus Deckelnick (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We consider a finite element discretization by the Taylor–Hood element for the stationary Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with slip boundary condition. The slip boundary condition is enforced pointwise for nodal values of the velocity in boundary nodes. We prove optimal error estimates in the H1 and L2 norms for the velocity and pressure respectively.

Robust numerical approximation of coupled Stokes' and Darcy's flows applied to vascular hemodynamics and biochemical transport*

Carlo D'Angelo, Paolo Zunino (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The fully coupled description of blood flow and mass transport in blood vessels requires extremely robust numerical methods. In order to handle the heterogeneous coupling between blood flow and plasma filtration, addressed by means of Navier-Stokes and Darcy's equations, we need to develop a numerical scheme capable to deal with extremely variable parameters, such as the blood viscosity and Darcy's permeability of the arterial walls. In this paper, we describe a finite element method for...

Shape Hessian for generalized Oseen flow by differentiability of a minimax: A Lagrangian approach

Zhiming Gao, Yichen Ma, Hong Wei Zhuang (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The goal of this paper is to compute the shape Hessian for a generalized Oseen problem with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition by the velocity method. The incompressibility will be treated by penalty approach. The structure of the shape gradient and shape Hessian with respect to the shape of the variable domain for a given cost functional are established by an application of the Lagrangian method with function space embedding technique.

Shape optimization for Stokes problem with threshold slip

Jaroslav Haslinger, Jan Stebel, Taoufik Sassi (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

We study the Stokes problems in a bounded planar domain Ω with a friction type boundary condition that switches between a slip and no-slip stage. Our main goal is to determine under which conditions concerning the smoothness of Ω solutions to the Stokes system with the slip boundary conditions depend continuously on variations of Ω . Having this result at our disposal, we easily prove the existence of a solution to optimal shape design problems for a large class of cost functionals. In order to release...

Shear-induced Electrokinetic Lift at Large Péclet Numbers

O. Schnitzer, I. Frankel, E. Yariv (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We analyze the problem of shear-induced electrokinetic lift on a particle freely suspended near a solid wall, subject to a homogeneous (simple) shear. To this end, we apply the large-Péclet-number generic scheme recently developed by Yariv et al. (J. Fluid Mech., Vol. 685, 2011, p. 306). For a force- and torque-free particle, the driving flow comprises three components, respectively describing (i) a particle translating parallel to the wall; (ii) a particle rotating with an angular velocity vector...
