Second-grade fluids in curved pipes

This paper is concerned with the application of finite element methods to obtain solutions for steady fully developed second-grade flows in a curved pipe of circular cross-section and arbitrary curvature ratio, under a given axial pressure gradient. The qualitative and quantitative behavior of the secondary flows is analyzed with respect to inertia and viscoelasticity.

Optimal control of steady second grade fluids with Dirichlet boundary conditions

We consider optimal control problems governed by systems describing the flow of an incompressible second grade fluid with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence of an optimal solution, derive the corresponding necessary optimality conditions and analyze its asymptotic behavior when the viscoelastic parameter tends to zero.

On generalized Newtonian fluids in curved pipes

This paper is concerned with steady, fully developed motion of a Navier-Stokes fluid with shear-dependent viscosity in a curved pipe under a given axial pressure gradient. We establish existence and uniqueness results, derive appropriate estimates and prove a characterization of the secondary flows. The approximation, with respect to the curvature ratio, of the full governing systems by some Dean-like equation is studied.

Optimal control of steady second grade fluids with a Navier-slip boundary condition

In this paper, we first investigate necessary optimality conditions for problems governed by systems describing the flow of an incompressible second grade fluid. Next, we study the asymptotic behavior of the optimal solution when the viscoelastic parameter tends to zero, and prove that the corresponding sequence converges to a solution of an optimal control problem governed by the Navier-Stokes equations whose optimality conditions are recovered by passage to the limit.
