Strong solutions to the equations of a ferrofluid flow model

We study the differential system introduced by M.I. Shliomis to describe the motion of a ferrofluid driven by an external magnetic field. The system is a combination of the Navier-Stokes equations, the magnetization equation and the magnetostatic equations. No regularizing term is added to the magnetization equation. We prove the local-in-time existence of strong solutions to the system.     

Global weak solutions to a ferrofluid flow model

We are concerned with the global solvability of the differential system introduced by Shliomis to describe the flow of a colloidal suspension of magnetized nanoparticles in a nonconducting liquid, under the action of an external magnetic field. The system is a combination of the Navier–Stokes equations, the magnetization equation, and the magnetostatic equations. We prove, by using a method of regularization, the existence of global‐in‐time weak solutions with finite energy to an initial boundary‐value problem and establish the long‐time behaviour of such solutions. The main difficulty is due to the singularity of the gradient magnetic force and the torque. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Weak and strong solutions for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global weak solutions for any β?1, global strong solution for any β?7/2 and that the strong solution is unique for any 7/2?β?5.     

On the uniqueness of strong solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global strong solution for any β>3 and the strong solution is unique when 3<β?5. This improves earlier results.     

On strong solutions to the compressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic system

In this paper, we consider strong/classical solutions to the 3D compressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic system. First, we prove the existence of local strong solutions with positive density. Then the existence of global small solutions with small initial data is proved. Optimal time decay rate is also established.     

Global existence of strong solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for isentropic compressible fluids with density-dependent viscosity

This paper is concerned with global strong solutions of the isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficient in one-dimensional bounded intervals. Precisely, the viscosity coefficient μ=μ(ρ) and the pressure P is proportional to ργ with γ>1. The important point in this paper is that the initial density may vanish in an open subset. We also show that the strong solution obtained above is unique provided that the initial data satisfies additional regularity and a compatible condition. Compared with former results obtained by Hyunseok Kim in [H. Kim, Global existence of strong solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for one-dimensional isentropic compressible fluids, available at: http://com2mac.postech.ac.kr/papers/2001/01-38.pdf], we deal with density-dependent viscosity coefficient.     

Existence and decay of solutions in full space to Navier-Stokes equations with delays

We consider the Navier-Stokes equations with delays in Rⁿ,2≤n≤4. We prove existence of weak solutions when the external forces contain some hereditary characteristics and uniqueness when n=2. Moreover, if the external forces satisfy a time decay condition we show that the solution decays at an algebraic rate.     

Critical strong Feller regularity for Markov solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

The main purpose of this paper is to show that Markov solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations driven by Gaussian noise have the strong Feller property up to the critical topology given by the domain of the Stokes operator to the power one-fourth.     

Existence of solutions for the MHD-Leray-alpha equations and their relations to the MHD equations

In this paper we derive some new equations and we call them MHD-Leray-alpha equations which are similar to the MHD equations. We put forward the concept of weak and strong solutions for the new equations. Whether the 3-dimensional MHD equations have a unique weak solution is unknown, however, there is a unique weak solution for the 3-dimensional MHD-Leray-alpha equations. The global existence of strong solution and the Gevrey class regularity for the new equations are also obtained. Furthermore, we prove that the solutions of the MHD-Leray-alpha equations converge to the solution of the MHD equations in the weak sense as the parameter ε in the new equations converges to zero.     

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.     

Decay results of solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes flows in a half space

In a half space, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the strong solution for the non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, the decay rates of the second order derivatives of the Navier-Stokes flows in (n?2) with 1?r?∞ are derived by using Lq−Lr estimates and a clever analysis on the fractional powers of the Stokes operator. In addition, we prove that the strong solution and its first and second derivatives decay in time more rapidly than observed in general if the initial datum lies in a suitable weighted space.     

Weak Morrey spaces and strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We consider the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations in weak Morrey spaces. We first define a class of weak Morrey type spaces Mp*,λ(Rn) on the basis of Lorentz space Lp,∞ = Lp*(Rn)(in particular, Mp*,0(Rn) = Lp,∞, if p ＞ 1), and study some fundamental properties of them; Second,bounded linear operators on weak Morrey spaces, and establish the bilinear estimate in weak Morrey spaces. Finally, by means of Kato's method and the contraction mapping principle, we prove that the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations in weak Morrey spaces Mp*,λ(Rn) (1＜p≤n) is time-global well-posed, provided that the initial data are sufficiently small. Moreover, we also obtain the existence and uniqueness of the self-similar solution for Navier-Stokes equations in these spaces, because the weak Morrey space Mp*,n-p(Rn) can admit the singular initial data with a self-similar structure. Hence this paper generalizes Kato's results.     

Existence of strong solutions and global attractors for the coupled suspension bridge equations

In this paper, we show the existence of the strong solutions for the coupled suspension bridge equations. Furthermore, existence of the strong global attractors is investigated using a new semigroup scheme. Since the solutions of the coupled equation have no higher regularity and the semigroup associated with the solutions is not continuous in the strong Hilbert space, the results are new and appear to be optimal.     

Existence of solutions and Gevrey class regularity for Leray-alpha equations

In this paper we consider some equations similar to Navier-Stokes equations, the three-dimensional Leray-alpha equations with space periodic boundary conditions. We establish the regularity of the equations by using the classical Faedo-Galerkin method. Our argument shows that there exist an unique weak solution and an unique strong solution for all the time for the Leray-alpha equations, furthermore, the strong solutions are analytic in time with values in the Gevrey class of functions (for the space variable). The relations between the Leray-alpha equations and the Navier-Stokes equations are also considered.     

Self-similar solutions to the isothermal compressible Navier-Stokes equations

The aim of thispaper is to show that there exist neither forward nor backwardself-similar solutions with finite total energy. This generalizesthe results for the incompressible case in Neas, J., Rika, M.& verák, V. (1996, On Leray's self-similar solutionsof the Navier-Stokes equations. Acta. Math., 176, 283–294),and is consistent with the (unproved) existence of regular solutionsglobally in time for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations.     

A note on global existence of weak solutions to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with Coulomb force

In this note, for the case of , we prove the existence of global-in-time finite energy weak solution of the equations of a two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics with Coulomb force, where γ denotes the adiabatic exponent. The value is the optimal lower bound of γ to establish global-in-time finite energy weak solution under current frame.     

On the blowing up of solutions to one-dimensional quantum Navier-Stokes equations

The blow-up in finite time for the solutions to the initial-boundary value problem associated to the one-dimensional quantum Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain is proved. The model consists of the mass conservation equation and a momentum balance equation, including a nonlinear third-order differen- tial operator, with the quantum Bohm potential, and a density-dependent viscosity. It is shown that, under suitable boundary conditions and assumptions on the initial data, the solution blows up after a finite time, if the viscosity constant is not bigger than the scaled Planck constant. The proof is inspired by an observable constructed by Gamba, Gualdani and Zhang, which has been used to study the blowing up of solutions to quantum hydrodynamic models.
