We exploit a two-dimensional model [7], [6] and [1] describing the elastic behavior of the wall of a flexible blood vessel which takes interaction with surrounding muscle tissue and the 3D fluid flow into account. We study time periodic flows in a cylinder with such compound boundary conditions. The main result is that solutions of this problem do not depend on the period and they are nothing else but the time independent Poiseuille flow. Similar solutions of the Stokes equations for the rigid wall (the no-slip boundary condition) depend on the period and their profile depends on time.

We study the flow of a shear-thinning, chemically-reacting fluid that could be used to model the flow of the synovial fluid. The actual geometry where the flow of the synovial fluid takes place is very complicated, and therefore the governing equations are not amenable to simple mathematical analysis. In order to understand the response of the model, we choose to study the flow in a simple geometry. While the flow domain is not a geometry relevant to the flow of the synovial fluid in the human body it yet provides a flow which can be used to assess the efficacy of different models that have been proposed to describe synovial fluids. We study the flow in the annular region between two cylinders, one of which is undergoing unsteady oscillations about their common axis, in order to understand the quintessential behavioral characteristics of the synovial fluid. We use the three models suggested by Hron et al. [ J. Hron, J. M{a}lek, P. Pustv{e}jovsk{a}, K. R. Rajagopal, On concentration dependent shear-thinning behavior in modeling of synovial fluid flow, Adv. in Tribol. (In Press).] to study the problem, by appealing to a semi-inverse method. The assumed structure for the velocity field automatically satisfies the constraint of incompressibility, and the balance of linear momentum is solved together with a convection-diffusion equation. The results are compared to those associated with the Newtonian model. We also study the case in which an external pressure gradient is applied along the axis of the cylindrical annulus.
We are concerned with the two-dimensional steady supersonic reacting Euler flow past Lipschitz bending walls that are small perturbations of a convex one, and establish the existence of global entropy solutions when the total variation of both the initial data and the slope of the boundary is sufficiently small. The flow is governed by an ideal polytropic gas and undergoes a one-step exothermic chemical reaction under the reaction rate function that is Lipschtiz and has a positive lower bound. The heat released by the reaction may cause the total variation of the solution to increase along the flow direction. We employ the modified wave-front tracking scheme to construct approximate solutions and develop a Glimm-type functional by incorporating the approximate strong rarefaction waves and Lipschitz bending walls to obtain the uniform bound on the total variation of the approximate solutions. Then we employ this bound to prove the convergence of the approximate solutions to a global entropy solution that contains a strong rarefaction wave generated by the Lipschitz bending wall. In addition, the asymptotic behavior of the entropy solution in the flow direction is also analyzed.
We propose a unified method for the large space-time scaling limit of emph{linear} collisional kinetic equations in the whole space. The limit is of emph{fractional} diffusion type for heavy tail equilibria with slow enough decay, and of diffusive type otherwise. The proof is constructive and the fractional/standard diffusion matrix is obtained. The equilibria satisfy a {em generalised} weighted mass condition and can have infinite mass. The method combines energy estimates and quantitative spectral methods to construct a `fluid mode. The method is applied to scattering models (without assuming detailed balance conditions), Fokker-Planck operators and L{e}vy-Fokker-Planck operators. It proves a series of new results, including the fractional diffusive limit for Fokker-Planck operators in any dimension, for which the characterization of the diffusion coefficient was not known, for L{e}vy-Fokker-Planck operators with general equilibria, and in cases where the equilibrium has infinite mass. It also unifies and generalises the results of ten previous papers with a quantitative method, and our estimates on the fluid approximation error seem novel in these cases.
We perform the discrete-to-continuum limit passage for a microscopic model describing the time evolution of dislocations in a one dimensional setting. This answers the related open question raised by Geers et al. in [GPPS13]. The proof of the upscaling procedure (i.e. the discrete-to-continuum passage) relies on the gradient flow structure of both the discrete and continuous energies of dislocations set in a suitable evolutionary variational inequality framework. Moreover, the convexity and $Gamma$-convergence of the respective energies are properties of paramount importance for our arguments.
We consider the compressible Navier--Stokes equation in a perturbed half-space with an outflow boundary condition as well as the supersonic condition. For a half-space, it has been known that a certain planar stationary solution exist and it is time-asymptotically stable. The planar stationary solution is independent of the tangential directions and its velocities of the tangential directions are zero. In this paper, we show the unique existence of stationary solutions for the perturbed half-space. The feature of our work is that our stationary solution depends on all directions and has multidirectional flow. Furthermore, we also prove the asymptotic stability of this stationary solution.
