The global classical solution to compressible system with fractional viscous term

We consider the initial value problem to the fractional system of motions for compressible viscous fluids in this paper. We establish a local well-posedness theory for the system, as well as a global well-posedness theory for small initial data. We also show the large-time behavior of the solution, where solutions converge to a constant steady state exponentially in time.     

The global wellposedness of the 3D heat-conducting viscous incompressible fluids with bounded density

We consider the global wellposedness of the inhomogeneous incompressible heat-conducting viscous fluids in three dimension space. We generalize the result of Fujita & Kato for Navier–Stokes to the heat-conducting inhomogeneous incompressible viscous fluids. The key point is that we get the global wellposedness under the assumption that the initial density has positive lower and upper bound and the initial temperature can be arbitrarily large.     

Finite Velocity of the Propagation of Perturbations for a Class of Non-Newtonian Fluids

In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem of a class of non-Newtonian fluids. We obtain that finite velocity of the propagation of perturbations.     

Global existence of the radially symmetric strong solution to Navier-Stokes-Poisson equations for isentropic compressible fluids

We prove the two existence results of the radially symmetric strong solutions to the Navier- Stokes-Poisson equations for isentropic compressible fluids. The important point in this paper is that the initial density is vacuum. It is different from weak solutions. Now we need some compatibility condition.     

Regularity of the solution for a final value problem for the Rayleigh‐Stokes equation

In this paper, we deal with the backward problem of determining initial condition for Rayleigh‐Stokes where the data are given at a fixed time. The problem has many applications in some non‐Newtonian fluids. We give some regularity properties of the solution to backward problem.     

On the Rigid-Lid Approximation for Two Shallow Layers of Immiscible Fluids with Small Density Contrast

The rigid-lid approximation is a commonly used simplification in the study of density-stratified fluids in oceanography. Roughly speaking, one assumes that the displacements of the surface are negligible compared with interface displacements. In this paper, we offer a rigorous justification of this approximation in the case of two shallow layers of immiscible fluids with constant and quasi-equal mass density. More precisely, we control the difference between the solutions of the Cauchy problem predicted by the shallow-water (Saint-Venant) system in the rigid-lid and free-surface configuration. We show that in the limit of a small density contrast, the flow may be accurately described as the superposition of a baroclinic (or slow) mode, which is well predicted by the rigid-lid approximation, and a barotropic (or fast) mode, whose initial smallness persists for large time. We also describe explicitly the first-order behavior of the deformation of the surface and discuss the case of a nonsmall initial barotropic mode.     

Continuous Dependence and Spatial Decay Results in the Theory of Linear Maxwell Fluids

In this paper we consider the linear theory of Maxwell fluids. We obtain continuous dependence results with respect to the initial time in the forward in time problem and with respect to the relaxation parameter in the backward in time problem. In the last section we study the spatial decay of the solutions for harmonic vibrations.     

On the Euler Equation in the Plane

In this work we will establish an existence and uniqueness result for weak Euler's equation for an incompressible fluids in the plane. We assume that the initial vorticity is bounded and furthermore it exists at least a point in which initially the integral related to velocity is absolutely convergent.     

Further mathematical results concerning Burgers fluids and their generalizations

In this paper, we extend the earlier work by Quintanilla and Rajagopal (Math Methods Appl Sci 29: 2133?C2147, 2006) and establish qualitative new results for a proper generalization of Burgers?? original work that stems form a general thermodynamic framework. Such fluids have been used to describe the behavior of several geological materials such as asphalt and the earth??s mantle as well as polymeric fluids. We study questions concerning stability, uniqueness and continuous dependence on initial data for the solutions of the flows of these fluids. We show that if certain conditions are not satisfied by the material moduli, the solutions could be unstable. The spatial behavior of the solutions is also analyzed.     

On non-stationary flows of incompressible asymmetric fluids

We consider an initial boundary value problem for the system of equations describing non-stationary flows of incompressible asymmetric fluids. We prove the existence of a local in time, weak solution of the problem in the case when the initial density is not separated from zero by a positive constant.     

Unique solvability for a class of full non-Newtonian fluids of one dimension with vacuum

We prove the local existence and uniqueness of the strong solutions for a class of full non-Newtonian fluids in one space dimension with the hypotheses that the initial data are small in some sense and satisfy some compatibility conditions. The initial density need not be positive, which means that we allow the initial vacuum.

The initial density need not be positive, which means that we allow the initial vacuum.     

Existence results for viscous polytropic fluids with vacuum

We consider the full Navier-Stokes equations for viscous polytropic fluids with nonnegative thermal conductivity. We prove the existence of unique local strong solutions for all initial data satisfying some compatibility condition. The initial density need not be positive and may vanish in an open set. Moreover our results hold for both bounded and unbounded domains.     

Existence of weak solutions for a diffuse interface model of non-Newtonian two-phase flows

We consider a phase field model for the flow of two partly miscible incompressible, viscous fluids of non-Newtonian (power law) type. In the model it is assumed that the densities of the fluids are equal. We prove the existence of weak solutions for general initial data and arbitrarily large times with the aid of a parabolic Lipschitz truncation method, which preserves solenoidal velocity fields and was recently developed by Breit, Diening, and Schwarzacher.     

Duchon–Robert solutions for the Rayleigh–Taylor and Muskat problems

We construct analytic solutions to the Euler equations with an interface between two fluids, extending work of Duchon and Robert. We also show that the estimates of Duchon and Robert yield global analytic solutions to the Muskat problem with small initial data.

We establish the existence of global in time weak solutions for the equations of asymmetric incompressible fluids with variable density, when the initial density is not necessarily strictly positive.

We prove global-in-time existence of regular solution to the initial value problem of a 2-D Kazhikhov–Smagulov type model for incompressible nonhomogeneous fluids with mass diffusion.     

Global strong solutions for a class of compressible non‐Newtonian fluids with vacuum

We study a class of compressible non‐Newtonian fluids in one space dimension. We prove, by using iterative method, the global time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions provided that the initial data satisfy a compatibility condition and the initial density is small in its H¹‐norm. The main difficulty is due to the strong nonlinearity of the system and the initial vacuum. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Blow-up of smooth highly decreasing at infinity solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations

We prove that the smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes equations with conserved total mass, finite total energy and finite momentum of inertia lose the initial smoothness within a finite time in the case of space of dimension 3 or greater even if the initial data are not compactly supported. The cases of isentropic and incompressible fluids are also considered.     

Initial value problems for creeping flow of Maxwell fluids

We consider the flow of nonlinear Maxwell fluids in the unsteady quasistatic case, where the effect of inertia is neglected. We study the well-posedness of the resulting PDE initial-boundary value problem locally in time. This well-posedness depends on the unique solvability of an elliptic boundary value problem. We first present results for the 3D case with sufficiently small initial data and for a simple shear flow problem with arbitrary initial data; after that we extend our results to some 3D flow problems with large initial data.We solve our problem using an iteration between linear subproblems. The limit of the iteration provides the solution of our original problem.
