Steady solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded channels and pipes
The aim of this paper is to analyze the well posedness of the one-phase quasi-stationary Stefan problem with the Gibbs-Thomson correction in a two-dimensional domain which is a perturbation of the half plane. We show the existence of a unique regular solution for an arbitrary time interval, under suitable smallness assumptions on initial data. The existence is shown in the Besov-Slobodetskiĭ class with sharp regularity in the L₂-framework.
The numerical modeling of the fully developed Poiseuille flow of a newtonian fluid in a square section with slip yield boundary condition at the wall is presented. The stick regions in outer corners and the slip region in the center of the pipe faces are exhibited. Numerical computations cover the complete range of the dimensionless number describing the slip yield effect, from a full slip to a full stick flow regime. The resolution of variational inequalities describing the flow is based on the...

We study the generalized Stokes resolvent equations in asymptotically flat layers, which can be considered as compact perturbations of an infinite (flat) layer . Besides standard non-slip boundary conditions, we consider a mixture of slip and non-slip boundary conditions on the upper and lower boundary, respectively. We discuss the results on unique solvability of the generalized Stokes resolvent equations as well as the existence of a bounded -calculus for the associated Stokes operator and some...
Operator version of the Stokeslet method in the theory of creeping flow is suggested. The approach is analogous to the zero-range potential one in quantum mechanics and is based on the theory of self-adjoint operator extensions in the space L2 and in the Pontryagin?s space with an indefinite metric. The problem of Stokes flow in two channels connected through a small opening is considered in the framework of this approach. The case of a periodic system of small openings is studied too. The picture...
We consider a planar stationary flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in a semi-infinite strip governed by the Navier-Stokes system with a feed-back body forces field which depends on the velocity field. Since the presence of this type of non-linear terms is not standard in the fluid mechanics literature, we start by establishing some results about existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. Then, we prove how this fluid can be stopped at a finite distance of the semi-infinite strip entrance by...
We classify in this article the structure and its transitions/evolution of the Taylor vortices with perturbations in one of the following categories: a) the Hamiltonian vector fields, b) the divergence-free vector fields, and c). the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations on the two-dimensional torus. This is part of a project oriented toward to developing a geometric theory of incompressible fluid flows in the physical spaces.
In this paper, we propose a new diffuse interface model for the study of three immiscible component incompressible viscous flows. The model is based on the Cahn-Hilliard free energy approach. The originality of our study lies in particular in the choice of the bulk free energy. We show that one must take care of this choice in order for the model to give physically relevant results. More precisely, we give conditions for the model to be well-posed and to satisfy algebraically and dynamically consistency...
The development of velocity distribution in plane laminar flow is examined, neglecting inertial terms in respect to viscous ones. A solution is given, which satisfies all boundary conditions.
