On fully developed flows of fluids with a pressure dependent viscosity in a pipe

Macherla Vasudevaiah, Kumbakonam R. Rajagopal (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

Stokes recognized that the viscosity of a fluid can depend on the normal stress and that in certain flows such as flows in a pipe or in channels under normal conditions, this dependence can be neglected. However, there are many other flows, which have technological significance, where the dependence of the viscosity on the pressure cannot be neglected. Numerous experimental studies have unequivocally shown that the viscosity depends on the pressure, and that this dependence can be quite strong,...

On Lipschitz truncations of Sobolev functions (with variable exponent) and their selected applications

Lars Diening, Josef Málek, Mark Steinhauer (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study properties of Lipschitz truncations of Sobolev functions with constant and variable exponent. As non-trivial applications we use the Lipschitz truncations to provide a simplified proof of an existence result for incompressible power-law like fluids presented in [Frehse et al., SIAM J. Math. Anal34 (2003) 1064–1083]. We also establish new existence results to a class of incompressible electro-rheological fluids.
