We consider a fluid-structure interaction problem with Navier-slip boundary conditions in which the fluid is considered as a non-Newtonian fluid and the structure is described by a nonlinear multi-layered model. The fluid domain is driven by a nonlinear elastic shell and thus is not fixed. To simplify the problem, we map the moving fluid domain into a fixed domain by applying an arbitrary Lagrange Euler mapping. Unlike the classical method by which we can consider the problem as its entirety, we utilize the time-discretization and split the problem into a fluid subproblem and a structure subproblem by an operator splitting scheme. Since the structure subproblem is nonlinear, Lax-Milgram lemma does not hold. Here we prove the existence and uniqueness by means of the traditional semigroup theory. Noticing that the Non-Newtonian fluid possesses a $ p- $Laplacian structure, we show the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the fluid subproblem by considering the Browder-Minty theorem. With the uniform energy estimates, we deduce the weak and weak* convergence respectively. By a generalized Aubin-Lions-Simon Lemma proposed by Muha and Canic [J. Differential Equations {bf 266} (2019), 8370--8418], we obtain the strong convergence. Finally, we construct the test functions and pass the approximate weak formulation to the limit as time step goes to zero with the convergence results.
We study the weak boundary layer phenomenon of the Navier-Stokes equations in a 3D bounded domain with viscosity, $epsilon > 0$, under generalized Navier friction boundary conditions, in which we allow the friction coefficient to be a (1, 1) tensor on the boundary. When the tensor is a multiple of the identity we obtain Navier boundary conditions, and when the tensor is the shape operator we obtain conditions in which the vorticity vanishes on the boundary. By constructing an explicit corrector, we prove the convergence of the Navier-Stokes solutions to the Euler solution as the viscosity vanishes. We do this both in the natural energy norm with a rate of order $epsilon^{3/4}$ as well as uniformly in time and space with a rate of order $epsilon^{3/8 - delta}$ near the boundary and $epsilon^{3/4 - delta}$ in the interior, where $delta, delta$ decrease to 0 as the regularity of the initial velocity increases. This work simplifies an earlier work of Iftimie and Sueur, as we use a simple and explicit corrector (which is more easily implemented in numerical applications). It also improves a result of Masmoudi and Rousset, who obtain convergence uniformly in time and space via a method that does not yield a convergence rate.
We establish the existence of axially symmetric weak solutions to steady incompressible magnetohydrodynamics with non-homogeneous boundary conditions. The key issue is the Bernoullis law for the total head pressure $Phi=f 12(|{bf u}|^2+|{bf h}|^2)+p$ to a special class of solutions to the inviscid, non-resistive MHD system, where the magnetic field only contains the swirl component.
An initial boundary value problem for compressible Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is considered on an exterior domain (with the first Betti number vanishes) in $R^3$ in this paper. The global existence of smooth solutions near a given constant state for compressible MHD with the boundary conditions of Navier-slip for the velocity filed and perfect conduction for the magnetic field is established. Moreover the explicit decay rate is given. In particular, the results obtained in this paper also imply the global existence of classical solutions for the full compressible Navier-Stokes equations with Navier-slip boundary conditions on exterior domains in three dimensions, which is not available in literature, to the best of knowledge of the authors.
In this work, we study the motion of a rigid body in a bounded domain which is filled with a compressible isentropic fluid. We consider the Navier-slip boundary condition at the interface as well as at the boundary of the domain. This is the first mathematical analysis of a compressible fluid-rigid body system where Navier-slip boundary conditions are considered. We prove existence of a weak solution of the fluid-structure system up to collision.
We classify positive solutions to a class of quasilinear equations with Neumann or Robin boundary conditions in convex domains. Our main tool is an integral formula involving the trace of some relevant quantities for the problem. Under a suitable condition on the nonlinearity, a relevant consequence of our results is that we can extend to weak solutions a celebrated result obtained for stable solutions by Casten and Holland and by Matano.
