Steady Motion of a Self-Propelled Body in a Viscous Fluid: Dirichlet Boundary Conditions with Nonzero Flux

We study the steady self-propelled motion of a rigid body immersed in an incompressible viscous fluid occupying an exterior domain in $\mathbb{R}^3$. In a body-fixed reference frame, the problem is described by a coupled fluid-rigid body system posed in a fixed exterior domain, where the Navier--Stokes equations are coupled with the unknown translational and angular velocities of the rigid body. The self-propulsion is generated by prescribing a boundary velocity on the body surface. Our main result asserts the existence of weak solutions under the sole assumption that the prescribed boundary flux is sufficiently small. The crucial step is the construction of a divergence-free extension of the boundary data that does not rely on either the zero-flux condition or the smallness of the boundary data. As a result, we generalize the result of Galdi [Theorem 5.1 in On the steady self-propelled motion of a body in a viscous incompressible fluid. Arch. Rational Mech. Anal., 148 (1999), 53-88], where both assumptions were required.

Homogenization of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations via two-scale convergence in perforated domains

We study the homogenization of the compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations in periodically perforated domains where the size of the obstacles is of the same order as the distance between neighboring obstacles. Using the two-scale convergence method, which can be characterized via the unfolding operator, we derive the corresponding macroscopic model determined by Darcy's law. In particular, the macroscopic density satisfies the porous medium equation. The main challenge lies in identifying the pressure term in the limit. We overcome this by establishing the strong two-scale convergence of the densities, which is achieved by controlling the oscillation defect measure of the unfolded densities. A crucial contribution of our work is the development of a methodological framework applicable to more complex compressible fluid models. Furthermore, regarding conservative forces, we extend existing results from the literature to adiabatic constants $γ> \frac95$.

Weak-strong uniqueness and low Mach number limit for a viscous compressible fluid around a rotating body

We study the flow of an isothermal compressible Newtonian fluid around a body that performs a (time-independent) rigid motion. We derive a weak-strong uniqueness principle, and show that in the low Mach number limit, the governing equation is well approximated by the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible rotating flow. Both results are based on the derivation of a relative energy inequality for weak solutions to this exterior-domain problem.

Weak solutions and singular limits for a compressible fluid-structure interaction problem with slip boundary conditions

We study a system describing the compressible barotropic fluids interacting with (visco) elastic solid shell/plate. In particular, the elastic structure is part of the moving boundary of the fluid, and the Navier-slip type boundary condition is taken into account. Depending on the reference geometry (flat or not), we show the existence of weak solutions to the coupled system provided the adiabatic exponent satisfies $γ> \frac{12}{7}$ without damping and $γ> \frac{3}{2}$ with structure damping, utilizing the domain extension and regularization approximation. Moreover, via a modified relative entropy method in time-dependent domains, we give a rigorous justification of the incompressible inviscid limit of the compressible fluid-structure interaction problem with a flat reference geometry, in the regime of low Mach number, high Reynolds number, and well-prepared initial data. As a byproduct, with a fixed Reynolds number, we derive the incompressible limit without extra assumption. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result concerning the singular limit problem for compressible fluids interacting with elastic structures.

Maximal regularity for a compressible fluid-structure interaction system with Navier-slip boundary conditions

We investigate a fluid-structure interaction system in which the dynamics of the fluid is described by the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, while the elastic structure is modeled by a damped plate equation. The fluid evolves in a three-dimensional bounded domain, with the structure occupies a part of its boundary. Instead of standard no-slip boundary conditions, we consider the Navier-slip boundary conditions at the fluid-structure interface as well as at the fixed boundary. We establish the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions within $L^{p}-L^{q}$ framework. The existence result is obtained for small time by decoupling the linearized system and employing a cascade strategy combined with the Tikhonov fixed point theorem, whereas the uniqueness is shown by deriving weak regularity properties for the associated linear coupled operator in a Hilbert space setting. It is the first result addressing strong solutions for a compressible fluid interacting with a damped plate under Navier-slip boundary conditions.

Steady weak solutions to an inflow/outflow driven compressible fluid-structure interaction problem

We study a stationary 3D/2D fluid-structure interaction problem between an elastic structure described by the linear plate equation and a fluid described by the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with hard-sphere pressure and inflow/outflow boundary data. This problem is motivated by wind-tunnel configuration and by the need for physically relevant steady states about which compressible flow-plate dynamics can be linearized. The main difficulty in the analysis is the lack of uniform estimates, both for approximate and weak solutions. In particular, the fixed-point construction for approximate solution yields a density estimate depending on approximate parameter, while the pressure estimate for the weak solution is only finite and non-quantifiable. As a result, large pressure loads can drive outward volume growth, while low pressure regions may lead to contact and therefore domain degeneration. This necessitates a novel approach based on a Lipschitz \emph{domain-correction} (barrier) mechanism that provides a framework in which solutions can be constructed without volume blow-up or degeneration of the domain. Constrained by the possibly very large fluid pressure load, our main result is the existence of a weak solution for a sufficiently large plate stiffness. Keywords: fluid-structure interaction, compressible Navier-Stokes, stationary weak solutions, hard-sphere pressure, inflow/outflow, linear plate, mathematical aeroelasticity

Dissipative solutions to a Beris-Edwards type model for compressible active nematic liquid crystals

We study the hydrodynamics of compressible active nematic liquid crystals in a three-dimensional and bounded domain, with a nonlinear viscosity tensor and nonhomogeneous boundary data, in a Landau-de Gennes framework. We prove the existence of dissipative solutions within a Beris-Edwards type model for active nematodynamics, which are weak solutions satisfying the underlying equations modulo a defect measure. The proof follows from a three level approximation scheme -- the Galerkin approximation, the classical parabolic regularization of the continuity equation, and the convex regularization of the potential generating the viscous stress. New techniques are required to deal with non-Newtonian stress tensor, larger classes of admissible pressure potentials and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions.

On dissipative turbulent solutions to the compressible anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains

Inspired by Abbatiello, Feireisl and Novotný, we prove the global existence of dissipative turbulent solution for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with anisotropic viscous stress tensor on unbounded domain. Our work complements the result of Bresch and Jabin, where the authors used the new compactness method to prove the existence of a weak solution to the same system in $\mathbb{T}^3$. By virtue of the concept of dissipative turbulent solutions, we are able to relax assumptions on the anisotropic tensor coefficients and the pressure law coefficient. We point out that we establish the existence result on a large class of unbounded domains, which is more conform to geophysical context. We also prove the weak-strong uniqueness property of acquired dissipative turbulent solutions.

On existence of weak solutions to a Baer-Nunziato type system

In this paper, a dissipative version of a compressible one velocity Baer--Nunziato type system for a mixture of two compressible heat conducting gases is considered. The complete existence proof for weak solutions to this system was addressed as an open problem in [6, Section 5]. The purpose of this paper is to prove the global in time existence of weak solutions to the one velocity Baer--Nunziato type system for arbitrary large initial data. The goal is achieved in three steps. Firstly, the given system is transformed into a new one which possesses the "Navier-Stokes-Fourier" structure. Secondly, the new system is solved by an adaptation of the Feireisl--Lions approach for solving the compressible Navier--Stokes equations. Eventually, the existence of a weak solution to the original one velocity Baer--Nunziato system using the almost uniqueness property of renormalized solutions to pure transport equations.

Weak solutions to a full compressible magnetohydrodynamic flow interacting with thermoelastic structure

This paper is concerned with an interaction problem between a full compressible, electrically conducting fluid and a thermoelastic shell in a two-dimensional setting. The shell is modelled by linear thermoelasticity equations, and encompasses a time-dependent domain which is filled with a fluid described by full compressible (non-resistive) magnetohydrodynamic equations. The magnetohydrodynamic flow and the shell are fully coupled, resulting in a fluid-structure interaction problem that involves heat exchange. We establish the existence of weak solutions through domain extension, operator splitting, decoupling, penalization of the interface condition, and appropriate limit passages.

Energy Conservation and Vanishing Viscosity Limit for the Primitive Equations

In this paper, we consider the problem of energy conservation for weak solutions of the inviscid Primitive Equations (PE) in a bounded domain. Based on the work [Bardos et al., Onsager's conjecture with physical boundaries and an application to the vanishing viscosity limit, Comm. Math. Phys., 2019, 291-310], we prove the energy conservation for PE with boundary condition under suitable Onsager-type assumptions. But due to the special structure of PE system and its domain, some new challenging difficulties arise: the lack of information about the vertical velocity, and existing corner points in the domain. We introduce some new ideas to overcome the above obstacles. As a byproduct, we give a sufficient condition for absence of anomalous energy dissipation in the vanishing viscosity limit.

Collision/No-collision results of a solid body with its container in a 3D compressible viscous fluid

We consider a bounded domain $Ω\subset\mathbb R^3$ and a rigid body $\mathcal{S}(t)\subsetΩ$ moving inside a viscous compressible Newtonian fluid. We exploit the roughness of the body to show that the solid collides its container in finite time. We investigate the case when the boundary of the body is of $C^{1,α}$-regularity and show that collision can happen for some suitable range of $α$. We also discuss some no-collision results for the smooth body case.

A variational approach to the modeling of compressible magnetoelastic materials

We analyze a model of the evolution of a (solid) magnetoelastic material. More specifically, the model we consider describes the evolution of a compressible magnetoelastic material with a non-convex energy and coupled to a gradient flow equation for the magnetization in the quasi-static setting. The viscous dissipation considered in this model induces an extended material derivative in the magnetic force balance. We prove existence of weak solutions based on De Giorgi's minimizing movements scheme, which allows us to deal with the non-convex energy as well as the non-convex state space for the deformation. In the application of this method we rely on the fact that the magnetic force balance in the model can be expressed in terms of the same energy and dissipation potentials as the equation of motion, allowing us to model the functional for the discrete minimization problem based on these potentials.

Rigid body in compressible flow with general inflow-outflow boundary data

We study the motion of a rigid body within a compressible, isentropic, and viscous fluid contained in a fixed bounded domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^3$. The fluid's behavior is described by the Navier-Stokes equations, while the motion of the rigid body is governed by ordinary differential equations representing the conservation of linear and angular momentum. We prescribe a time-independent fluid velocity along the boundary of $Ω$ and a time-independent fluid density at the inflow boundary of $Ω$. Additionally, we assume a no-slip boundary condition at the interface between the fluid and the rigid body. We prove existence of a weak solution to the given problem within a time interval where the rigid body does not touch the boundary $\partialΩ$.

On the multicomponent reactive flows in moving domains

This paper is concerned with the existence of global-in-time weak solutions to the multicomponent reactive flows inside a moving domain whose shape in time is prescribed. The flow is governed by the 3D compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier system coupled with the equations of species mass fractions. The fluid velocity is supposed to fulfill the complete slip boundary condition, whereas the heat flux and species diffusion fluxes satisfy the conservative boundary conditions. The existence of weak solutions is obtained by means of suitable approximation techniques. To this end, we need to rigorously analyze the penalization of the boundary behavior, viscosity and the pressure in the weak formulation.

Quantitative homogenization of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations towards Darcy's law

We consider the solutions $ρ_\varepsilon, \mathbf{u}_\varepsilon$ to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) in a domain periodically perforated by holes of diameter $\varepsilon>0$. We focus on the case where the diameter of the holes is of the same order as the distance between neighboring holes. This is the same setting investigated in the paper by Masmoudi [\url{http://www.numdam.org/article/COCV_2002__8__885_0.pdf}], where convergence $ρ_\varepsilon, \mathbf{u}_\varepsilon$ of the system to the porous medium equation has been shown. We prove a quantitative version of this convergence result provided that the solution of the limiting system is sufficiently regular. The proof builds on the relative energy inequality satisfied by the compressible NSE.

Local-in-time existence of strong solutions to a class of compressible non-Newtonian Navier-Stokes equations

The aim of this article is to show a local-in-time existence of a strong solution to the generalized compressible Navier-Stokes equation for arbitrarily large initial data. The goal is reached by $L^p$-theory for linearized equations which are obtained with help of the Weis multiplier theorem and can be seen as generalization of the work of Shibata and Enomoto (devoted to compressible fluids) to compressible non-Newtonian fluids.
