On the exponential behaviour of stochastic evolution equations for non-Newtonian fluids

We investigate the exponential long-time behaviour of the stochastic evolution equations describing the motion of a non-Newtonian fluids excited by multiplicative noise. Some results on the exponential convergence in mean square and with probability one of the weak probabilistic solution to the stationary solutions are given. We also prove an interesting result related to the stabilization of these stochastic evolution equations.

Global regularity estimates for multidimensional equations of compressible non-Newtonian fluids

The present paper is devoted to the problem of global existence of sufficiently regular solutions to two- and three-dimensional equations of a compressible non-Newtonian fluid. In the case of the potential stress tensor, we develop a technique for deriving energy identities that do not contain derivatives of density. On the basis of these identities, in the case of sufficiently rapidly increasing potentials, we obtain an extended system ofa priori estimates for the equations mentioned above. We also study the related problem of estimating solutions to the nonlinear elliptic system generated by the stress tensor.

Global existence of strong solutions of Navier-Stokes equations with non-Newtonian potential for one-dimensional isentropic compressible fluids

The aims of this paper are to discuss global existence and uniqueness of strong solution for a class of isentropic compressible navier-Stokes equations with non-Newtonian in one-dimensional bounded intervals. We prove two global existence results on strong solutions of isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The first result shows only the existence. And the second one shows the existence and uniqueness result based on the first result, but the uniqueness requires some compatibility condition.     

The convergence of non-Newtonian fluids to Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, the convergence of solutions for incompressible dipolar viscous non-Newtonian fluids is investigated. We obtain the conclusion that the solutions of non-Newtonian fluids converge to the solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in the sense of L²-norm (resp. H¹-norm), as the viscosities tend to zero and the initial data belong to H¹(Ω) (resp. H²(Ω)). Moreover, we obtain L^∞-norm convergence of solutions if the initial data belong to H²(Ω).

Asymptotic stability for one-dimensional motion of non-Newtonian compressible fluids

Rarefaction wave solutions for a one-dimensional model system associated with nomNewtonian compressible fluid are investigated in terms of asymptotic stability. The rarefaction wave solution is proved to be asymptotically stable, provided the initial disturbance is suitably small. The proof is given by the elemental L2 energy method.     

A mathematical model for unsteady mixed flows in closed water pipes

We present the formal derivation of a new unidirectional model for unsteady mixed flows in nonuniform closed water pipes.In the case of free surface incompressible flows,the FS-model is formally obtained,using formal asymptotic analysis,which is an extension to more classical shallow water models.In the same way,when the pipe is full,we propose the P-model,which describes the evolution of a compressible inviscid flow,close to gas dynamics equations in a nozzle.In order to cope with the transition between a free surface state and a pressured(i.e.,compressible) state,we propose a mixed model,the PFS-model,taking into account changes of section and slope variation.     

Cahn-Hilliard vs Singular Cahn-Hilliard equations in simulations of immiscible binary fluids

An efficient semi-implicit spectral method is implemented to solve the Cahn-Hilliard equation with a variable mobility in this paper. We compared the kinetics of bulk-diffusion-dominated and interface-diffusion-dominated coarsening in two-phase systems. As expected, the interface-diffusion-controlled coarsening evolves much slower. Also we find that the velocity field will be caused different greatly by using Singular Cahn-Hilliard equation and using Cahn-Hilliard in the simulation of immiscible binary fluids.

Similarity analysis of modified shallow water equations and evolution of weak waves

In this paper, we obtain exact solutions to the nonlinear system of partial differential equations (PDEs), describing the one dimensional modified shallow water equations, using invariance group properties of the governing system. Lie group of point symmetries with commuting infinitesimal operators, are presented. The symmetry generators are used for constructing similarity variables which lead the governing system of PDEs to system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs); in some cases, it is possible to solve these equations exactly. A particular solution to the governing system, which exhibits space-time dependence, is used to study the evolutionary behavior of weak discontinuities.     

Unconditionally Stable Splitting Methods for the Shallow Water Equations

The front-tracking method for hyperbolic conservation laws is combined with operator splitting to study the shallow water equations. Furthermore, the method includes adaptive grid refinement in multidimensions and shock tracking in one dimension. The front-tracking method is unconditionally stable, but for practical computations feasible CFL numbers are moderately above unity (typically between 1 and 5). The method resolves shocks sharply and is highly efficient. The numerical technique is applied to four test cases, the first being an expanding bore with rotational symmetry. The second problem addresses the question of describing the time development of two constant water levels separated by a dam that breaks instantaneously. The third problem compares the front-tracking method with an explicit analytic solution of water waves rotating over a parabolic bottom profile. Finally, we study flow over an obstacle in one dimension.     

Numerical solution of laminar incompressible generalized Newtonian fluids flow

This paper deals with the numerical solution of laminar viscous incompressible flows for generalized Newtonian fluids in the branching channel. The generalized Newtonian fluids contain Newtonian fluids, shear thickening and shear thinning non-Newtonian fluids. The mathematical model is the generalized system of Navier-Stokes equations. The finite volume method combined with an artificial compressibility method is used for spatial discretization. For time discretization the explicit multistage Runge-Kutta numerical scheme is considered. Steady state solution is achieved for t → ∞ using steady boundary conditions and followed by steady residual behavior. For unsteady solution a dual-time stepping method is considered. Numerical results for flows in two dimensional and three dimensional branching channel are presented.     

A new shallow water model with polynomial dependence on depth

In this paper, we study two‐dimensional Euler equations in a domain with small depth. With this aim, we introduce a small non‐dimensional parameter ε related to the depth and we use asymptotic analysis to study what happens when ε becomes small. We obtain a model for ε small that, after coming back to the original domain, gives us a shallow water model that considers the possibility of a non‐constant bottom, and the horizontal velocity has a dependence on z introduced by the vorticity when it is not zero. This represents an interesting novelty with respect to shallow water models found in the literature. We stand out that we do not need to make a priori assumptions about velocity or pressure behaviour to obtain the model. The new model is able to approximate the solutions to Euler equations with dependence on z (reobtaining the same velocities profile), whereas the classic model just obtains the average velocity.

Fast Wave Averaging for the Equatorial Shallow Water Equations

The equatorial shallow water equations in a suitable limit are shown to reduce to zonal jets as the Froude number tends to zero. This is a theorem of a singular limit with a fast variable coefficient due to the vanishing of the Coriolis force at the equator. Although it is not possible to get uniform estimates in classical Sobolev spaces (other than L²) by differentiating the system, a new method exploiting the particular structure of the fast coefficient leads to uniform estimates in slightly different functional spaces. The computation of resonances shows that fast waves may interact with a strong external forcing, introduced to mimic the effects of moisture, to create zonal jets.     

Classical solutions to Navier–Stokes equations for nonhomogeneous incompressible fluids with non-negative densities

We study the Navier–Stokes equations for nonhomogeneous incompressible fluids in a bounded domain Ω of R³. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of local classical solutions to the initial boundary value problem of linear Stokes equations and then we obtain the existence and uniqueness of local classical solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations with vacuum under the assumption that the data satisfies a natural compatibility condition.

We present the asymptotic analysis when the penalty's coefficient tends to infinity in control problems. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
