A boundary multivalued integral “equation” approach to the semipermeability problem

Jaroslav Haslinger, Charalambos C. Baniotopoulos, Panagiotis D. Panagiotopoulos (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

The present paper concerns the problem of the flow through a semipermeable membrane of infinite thickness. The semipermeability boundary conditions are first considered to be monotone; these relations are therefore derived by convex superpotentials being in general nondifferentiable and nonfinite, and lead via a suitable application of the saddlepoint technique to the formulation of a multivalued boundary integral equation. The latter is equivalent to a boundary minimization problem with a small...

A mixed formulation of a sharp interface model of stokes flow with moving contact lines

Shawn W. Walker (2014)

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

Two-phase fluid flows on substrates (i.e. wetting phenomena) are important in many industrial processes, such as micro-fluidics and coating flows. These flows include additional physical effects that occur near moving (three-phase) contact lines. We present a new 2-D variational (saddle-point) formulation of a Stokesian fluid with surface tension that interacts with a rigid substrate. The model is derived by an Onsager type principle using shape differential calculus (at the sharp-interface, front-tracking...

An example in the gradient theory of phase transitions

Camillo De Lellis (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove by giving an example that when n 3 the asymptotic behavior of functionals Ω ε | 2 u | 2 + ( 1 - | u | 2 ) 2 / ε is quite different with respect to the planar case. In particular we show that the one-dimensional ansatz due to Aviles and Giga in the planar case (see [2]) is no longer true in higher dimensions.

Contrôle par les coefficients dans le modèle Elrod-Adams

Mohamed El Alaoui Talibi, Abdellah El Kacimi (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Dans ce papier, nous étudions un problème de contrôle par les coefficients issu de la lubrification élastohydrodynamique. La variable de contrôle est l’épaisseur du fluide. Le phénomène de cavitation est pris en compte par le modèle Elrod-Adams, connu pour ses performances dans la conservation des débits d’entrée et de sortie. L’idée est de régulariser dans l’équation d’état le graphe d’Heaviside, en l’approchant par une suite de fonctions monotones et régulières. Nous dérivons les conditions d’optimalité...

Contrôle par les coefficients dans le modèle elrod-adams

Mohamed El Alaoui Talibi, Abdellah El Kacimi (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The purpose of this paper is to study a control by coefficients problem issued from the elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The control variable is the film thickness.The cavitation phenomenon takes place and described by the Elrod-Adams model, suggested in preference to the classical variational inequality due to its ability to describe input and output flow. The idea is to use the penalization in the state equation  by approximating the Heaviside graph whith a sequence of monotone and regular functions....
