Long time existence of regular solutions to Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical domains under boundary slip conditions

W. M. Zajączkowski (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Long time existence of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical domains under boundary slip conditions is proved. Moreover, the existence of solutions with no restrictions on the magnitude of the initial velocity and the external force is shown. However, we have to assume that the quantity I = i = 1 2 ( | | x i v ( 0 ) | | L ( Ω ) + | | x i f | | L ( Ω × ( 0 , T ) ) ) is sufficiently small, where x₃ is the coordinate along the axis parallel to the cylinder. The time of existence is inversely proportional to I. Existence of solutions is proved by the Leray-Schauder...

Long time existence of solutions to 2d Navier-Stokes equations with heat convection

Jolanta Socała, Wojciech M. Zajączkowski (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Global existence of regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for (v,p) coupled with the heat convection equation for θ is proved in the two-dimensional case in a bounded domain. We assume the slip boundary conditions for velocity and the Neumann condition for temperature. First an appropriate estimate is shown and next the existence is proved by the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem. We prove the existence of solutions such that v , θ W s 2 , 1 ( Ω T ) , p L s ( Ω T ) , s>2.

Long-Time Asymptotics for the Navier-Stokes Equation in a Two-Dimensional Exterior Domain

Thierry Gallay (2012)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We study the long-time behavior of infinite-energy solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional exterior domain, with no-slip boundary conditions. The initial data we consider are finite-energy perturbations of a smooth vortex with small circulation at infinity, but are otherwise arbitrarily large. Using a logarithmic energy estimate and some interpolation arguments, we prove that the solution approaches a self-similar Oseen vortex as t . This result was obtained in...

Longtime behavior of solutions of a Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system

Helmut Abels (2009)

Banach Center Publications

We study a diffuse interface model for the flow of two viscous incompressible Newtonian fluids of the same density in a bounded domain. The fluids are assumed to be macroscopically immiscible, but a partial mixing in a small interfacial region is assumed in the model. Moreover, diffusion of both components is taken into account. This leads to a coupled Navier-Stokes/Cahn-Hilliard system, which can describe the evolution of droplet formation and collision during the flow. We review some results on...

Macroscopic contact angle and liquid drops on rough solid surfaces via homogenization and numerical simulations

S. Cacace, A. Chambolle, A. DeSimone, L. Fedeli (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We discuss a numerical formulation for the cell problem related to a homogenization approach for the study of wetting on micro rough surfaces. Regularity properties of the solution are described in details and it is shown that the problem is a convex one. Stability of the solution with respect to small changes of the cell bottom surface allows for an estimate of the numerical error, at least in two dimensions. Several benchmark experiments are presented and the reliability of the numerical solution...

Mathematical analysis and numerical simulation of a Reynolds-Koiter model for the elastohydrodynamic journal-bearing device

Iñigo Arregui, J. Jesús Cendán, Carlos Vázquez (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The aim of this work is to deduce the existence of solution of a coupled problem arising in elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The lubricant pressure and concentration are modelled by Reynolds equation, jointly with the free-boundary Elrod-Adams model in order to take into account cavitation phenomena. The bearing deformation is solution of Koiter model for thin shells. The existence of solution to the variational problem presents some difficulties: the coupled character of the equations, the nonlinear...

Mathematical analysis of a spectral hyperviscosity LES model for the simulation of turbulent flows

Jean-Luc Guermond, Serge Prudhomme (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

This paper presents a model based on spectral hyperviscosity for the simulation of 3D turbulent incompressible flows. One particularity of this model is that the hyperviscosity is active only at the short velocity scales, a feature which is reminiscent of Large Eddy Simulation models. We propose a Fourier–Galerkin approximation of the perturbed Navier–Stokes equations and we show that, as the cutoff wavenumber goes to infinity, the solution of the model converges (up to subsequences) to a weak solution...

Mathematical and numerical modeling of early atherosclerotic lesions***

Vincent Calvez, Jean Gabriel Houot, Nicolas Meunier, Annie Raoult, Gabriela Rusnakova (2010)

ESAIM: Proceedings

This article is devoted to the construction of a mathematical model describing the early formation of atherosclerotic lesions. The early stage of atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process that starts with the penetration of low density lipoproteins in the intima and with their oxidation. This phenomenon is closely linked to the local blood flow dynamics. Extending a previous work [5] that was mainly restricted to a one-dimensional setting, we couple...

Mathematical modeling and simulation of flow in domains separated by leaky semipermeable membrane including osmotic effect

Jaroslav Hron, Maria Neuss-Radu, Petra Pustějovská (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for flow and transport processes of diluted solutions in domains separated by a leaky semipermeable membrane. We formulate transmission conditions for the flow and the solute concentration across the membrane which take into account the property of the membrane to partly reject the solute, the accumulation of rejected solute at the membrane, and the influence of the solute concentration on the volume flow, known as osmotic effect. The model is solved...
