Long-time error estimate and decay of finite element method to a generalized viscoelastic flow

This work analyzes the finite element approximation to a viscoelastic flow model, which generalizes the Navier-Stokes equation and Oldroyd's model by introducing the tempered power-law memory kernel. We prove regularity and long-time exponential decay of the solutions, as well as a long-time convolution-type Grönwall inequality to support numerical analysis. A Volterra-Stokes projection is developed and analyzed to facilitate the parabolic-type duality argument, leading to the long-time error estimates and exponential decay of velocity and pressure. A benchmark problem of planar four-to-one contraction flow is simulated to substantiate the generality of the proposed model in comparison with the Navier-Stokes equation and Oldroyd's model.

Analysis of viscoelastic flow with a generalized memory and its exponential convergence to steady state

We investigate a viscoelastic flow model with a generalized memory, in which a weak-singular component is introduced in the exponential convolution kernel of classical viscoelastic flow equations that remains untreated in the literature. We prove the well-posedness and regularity of the solutions, based on which we prove the exponential convergence of the solutions to the steady state. The proposed model serves as an extension of classical viscoelastic flow equations by adding a dimension characterized by the power of the weak-singular kernel, and the derived results provide theoretical supports for designing numerical methods for both the considered equation and its steady state.
