Fluid-Structure Interaction with Porous Media: The Beaver-Joseph condition in the strong sense

This article considers fluid structure interaction describing the motion of a fluid contained in a porous medium. The fluid is modelled by Navier-Stokes equations and the coupling between fluid and the porous medium is described by the classical Beaver-Joseph or the Beaver-Joseph-Saffman interface condition. In contrast to previous work these conditions are investigated for the first time in the strong sense and it is shown that the coupled system admits a unique, global strong solution in critical spaces provided the data are small enough. Furthermore, a Serrin-type blow-up criterium is developed and higher regularity estimates at the interface are established, which say that the solution is even analytic provided the forces are so.

The stochastic primitive equations with non-isothermal turbulent pressure

In this paper, we introduce and study the primitive equations with $\textit{non}$-isothermal turbulent pressure and transport noise. They are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations by employing stochastic versions of the Boussinesq and the hydrostatic approximations. The temperature dependence of the turbulent pressure can be seen as a consequence of an additive noise acting on the small vertical dynamics. For such a model we prove global well-posedness in $H^1$ where the noise is considered in both the Itô and Stratonovich formulations. Compared to previous variants of the primitive equations, the one considered here presents a more intricate coupling between the velocity field and the temperature. The corresponding analysis is seriously more involved than in the deterministic setting. Finally, the continuous dependence on the initial data and the energy estimates proven here are new, even in the case of isothermal turbulent pressure.

Interaction of liquid crystals with a rigid body

This article investigates the interaction of nematic liquid crystals modeled by a simplified Ericksen-Leslie model with a rigid body. It is shown that this problem is locally strongly well-posed, and that it also admits a unique, global strong solution for initial data close to constant equilibria. The proof of the global strong solution relies on a new splitting method for the director in a mean value zero and average part.

The primitive equations with stochastic wind driven boundary conditions

The primitive equations for geophysical flows are studied under the influence of {\em stochastic wind driven boundary conditions} modeled by a cylindrical Wiener process. We adapt an approach by Da Prato and Zabczyk for stochastic boundary value problems to define a notion of solutions. Then a rigorous treatment of these stochastic boundary conditions, which combines stochastic and deterministic methods, yields that these equations admit a unique, local pathwise solution within the anisotropic $L^q_t$-$H^{-1,p}_zL^p_{xy}$-setting. This solution is constructed in critical spaces.

Nonlinear theory remedies the lack of invertibility in time periodic fluid flows

This paper provides a framework to strong time periodic solutions of quasilinear evolution equations. The novelty of this approach is that zero is allowed to be a spectral value of the underlying linearized operator. This approach is then applied to time periodic problems associated to the Navier-Stokes equations, generalized Newtonian fluids, quasilinear reaction-diffusion systems as well as to magneto-hydrodynamics.

Time periodic solutions to Hibler's sea ice model

It is shown that the viscous-plastic Hibler sea ice model admits a unique, strong $T$-time periodic solution provided the given $T$-periodic forcing functions are small in suitable norms. This is in particular true for time periodic wind forces and time periodic ice growth rates.

The stochastic primitive equations with transport noise and turbulent pressure

In this paper we consider the stochastic primitive equation for geophysical flows subject to transport noise and turbulent pressure. Admitting very rough noise terms, the global existence and uniqueness of solutions to this stochastic partial differential equation are proven using stochastic maximal $L^2$-regularity, the theory of critical spaces for stochastic evolution equations, and global a priori bounds. Compared to other results in this direction, we do not need any smallness assumption on the transport noise which acts directly on the velocity field and we also allow rougher noise terms. The adaptation to Stratonovich type noise and, more generally, to variable viscosity and/or conductivity are discussed as well.

Free Boundary Problems via Da Prato-Grisvard Theory

An $\mathrm{L}_1$-maximal regularity theory for parabolic evolution equations inspired by the pioneering work of Da Prato and Grisvard is developed. Besides of its own interest, the approach yields a framework allowing global-in-time control of the change of Eulerian to Lagrangian coordinates in various problems related to fluid mechanics. This property is of course decisive for free boundary problems. This concept is illustrated by the analysis of the free boundary value problem describing the motion of viscous, incompressible Newtonian fluids without surface tension and, secondly, the motion of compressible pressureless gases. For this purpose, an endpoint maximal $\mathrm{L}_1$-regularity approach to the Stokes and Lamé systems is developed. It is applied then to establish global, strong well-posedness results for the free boundary problems described above in the case where the initial domain coincides with the half-space, and the initial velocity is small with respect to a suitable scaling invariant norm.

Rigorous Analysis and Dynamics of Hibler's sea ice model

This article develops for the first time a rigorous analysis of Hibler's model of sea ice dynamics. Identifying Hibler's ice stress as a quasilinear second order operator and regarding Hibler's model as a quasilinear evolution equation, it is shown that Hibler's coupled sea ice model, i.e., the model coupling velocity, thickness and compactness of sea ice, is locally strongly well-posed within the $L_q$-setting and also globally strongly well-posed for initial data close to constant equilibria.

Global Strong Well-Posedness of the stochastic bidomain equations with FitzHugh-Nagumo transport

Consider the bidomain equations from electrophysiology with FitzHugh--Nagumo transport subject to current noise, i.e., subject to stochastic forcing modeled by a cylindrical Wiener process. It is shown that this set of equations admits a unique global, strong pathwise solution within the setting of critical spaces. The proof is based on combining methods from stochastic and deterministic maximal regularity. In addition, the method of extrapolation spaces from deterministic evolution equations is transferred to the stochastic setting.

Rigorous justification of the hydrostatic approximation for the primitive equations by scaled Navier-Stokes equations

Consider the anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations as well as the primitive equations. It is shown that the horizontal velocity of the solution to the anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations in a cylindrical domain of height $\varepsilon $ with initial data $u_0=(v_0,w_0)\in B^{2-2/p}_{q,p}$, $1/q+1/p\le 1$ if $q\ge 2$ and $4/3q+2/3p\le 1$ if $q\le 2$, converges as $\varepsilon \to 0$ with convergence rate $\mathcal{O} (\varepsilon )$ to the horizontal velocity of the solution to the primitive equations with initial data $v_0$ with respect to the maximal-$L^p$-$L^q$-regularity norm. Since the difference of the corresponding vertical velocities remains bounded with respect to that norm, the convergence result yields a rigorous justification of the hydrostatic approximation in the primitive equations in this setting. It generalizes in particular a result by Li and Titi for the $L^2$-$L^2$-setting. The approach presented here does not rely on second order energy estimates but on maximal $L^p$-$L^q$-estimates for the heat equation.

The Hydrostatic Stokes Semigroup and Well-Posedness of the Primitive Equations on Spaces of Bounded Functions

Consider the $3$-d primitive equations in a layer domain $Ω=G \times (-h,0)$, $G=(0,1)^2$, subject to mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions at $z=-h$ and $z=0$, respectively, and the periodic lateral boundary condition. It is shown that this equation is globally, strongly well-posed for arbitrary large data of the form $a=a_1 + a_2$, where $a_1\in C(\overline{G};L^p(-h,0))$, $a_2\in L^{\infty}(G;L^p(-h,0))$ for $p>3$, and where $a_1$ is periodic in the horizontal variables and $a_2$ is sufficiently small. In particular, no differentiability condition on the data is assumed. The approach relies on $L^\infty_HL^p_z(Ω)$-estimates for terms of the form $t^{1/2} \lVert \partial_z e^{tA_{\overlineσ}}\mathbb{P}f \rVert_{L^\infty_H L^p_z(Ω)}\le C e^{tβ} \lVert f \rVert_{L^\infty_H L^p_z (Ω)}$ for $t>0$, where $e^{t A_{\overlineσ}}$ denotes the hydrostatic Stokes semigroup. The difficulty in proving estimates of this form is that the hydrostatic Helmholtz projection $\mathbb{P}$ fails to be bounded with respect to the $L^\infty$-norm. The global strong well-posedness result is then obtained by an iteration scheme, splitting the data into a smooth and a rough part and by combining a reference solution for smooth data with an evolution equation for the rough part.

Analyticity of solutions to the primitive equations

This article presents the maximal regularity approach to the primitive equations. It is proved that the $3D$ primitive equations on cylindrical domains admit a unique, global strong solution for initial data lying in the critical solonoidal Besov space $B^{2/p}_{pq}$ for $p,q\in (1,\infty)$ with $1/p+1/q \leq 1$. This solution regularize instantaneously and becomes even real analytic for $t>0$.

The Primitive Equations in the scaling invariant space $L^{\infty}(L^1)$

Consider the primitive equations on $\R^2\times (z_0,z_1)$ with initial data $a$ of the form $a=a_1+a_2$, where $a_1 \in BUC_σ(\R^2;L^1(z_0,z_1))$ and $a_2 \in L^\infty_σ(\R^2;L^1(z_0,z_1))$ and where $BUC_σ(L^1)$ and $L^\infty_σ(L^1)$ denote the space of all solenoidal, bounded uniformly continuous and all solenoidal, bounded functions on $\R^2$, respectively, which take values in $L^1(z_0,z_1)$. These spaces are scaling invariant and represent the anisotropic character of these equations. It is shown that, if $\|a_2\|_{L^\infty_σ(L^1)}$ is sufficiently small, then this set of equations has a unique, local, mild solution. If in addition $a$ is periodic in the horizontal variables, then this solution is a strong one and extends to a unique, global, strong solution. The primitive equations are thus strongly and globally well-posed for these data. The approach depends crucially on mapping properties of the hydrostatic Stokes semigroup in the $L^\infty(L^1)$-setting and can thus be seen as the counterpart of the classical iteration schemes for the Navier-Stokes equations for the situation of the primitive equations.

Strong Time Periodic Solutions to the Bidomain Equations with FitzHugh-Nagumo Type Nonlinearities

Consider the bidomain equations subject to ionic transport described by the models of FitzHugh-Nagumo, Aliev-Panfilov, or Rogers-McCulloch. It is proved that this set of equations admits a unique, strong T-periodic solution provided it is innervated by T-periodic intra- and extracellular currents. The approach relies on a new periodic version of the classical Da Prato-Grisvard theorem on maximal L^p-regularity in real interpolation spaces.

Dynamics of the Ericksen-Leslie Equations with General Leslie Stress I: The Incompressible Isotropic Case

The Ericksen-Leslie model for nematic liquid crystals in a bounded domain with general Leslie and isotropic Ericksen stress is studied in the case of a non-isothermal and incompressible fluid. This system is shown to be locally well-posed in the $L_p$-setting, and a dynamic theory is developed. The equilibria are identified and shown to be normally stable. In particular, a local solution extends to a unique, global strong solution provided the initial data are close to an equilibrium or the solution is eventually bounded in the topology of the natural state manifold. In this case, the solution converges exponentially to an equilibrium, in the topology of the state manifold. The above results are proven {\em without} any structural assumptions on the Leslie coefficients and in particular {\em without} assuming Parodi's relation.
