On the existence of pullback attractor for a two-dimensional shear flow with Tresca's boundary condition
We consider a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes shear flow with time dependent boundary driving and subject to Tresca law. We establish the existence of a unique global in time solution and then, using a recent method based on the concept of the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness of a bounded set, we prove the existence of the pullback attractor for the associated cocycle. This research is motivated by a problem from lubrication theory.
On the optimal control of coefficients in elliptic problems. Application to the optimization of the head slider
We consider an optimal control problem for a class of non-linear elliptic equations. A result of existence and uniqueness of the state equation is proven under weaker hypotheses than in the literature. We also prove the existence of an optimal control. Applications to some lubrication problems and numerical results are given.
