چکیده

We establish the global existence of weak solutions to a class of kinetic flocking equations. The models under conideration include the kinetic Cucker-Smale equation [6, 7] with possibly non-symmetric flocking potential, the Cucker-Smale equation with additional strong local alignment, and a newly proposed model by Motsch and Tadmor [14]. The main tools employed in the analysis are the velocity averaging lemma and the Schauder fixed point theorem along with various integral bounds.

Time-asymptotic interaction of flocking particles and an incompressible viscous fluid

We present a new coupled kinetic-fluid model for the interactions between Cucker–Smale (C–S) flocking particles and incompressible fluid on the periodic spatial domain T . Our coupled system consists of the kinetic C–S equation and the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, and these two systems are coupled through the drag force. For the proposed model, we provide a global existence of weak s...

On Strong Local Alignment in the Kinetic Cucker-smale Model

In the recent papers [4, 5] the authors study the existence of weak solutions and the hydrodynamic limit of kinetic flocking equations with strong local alignment. The introduction of a strong local alignment term to model flocking behavior was formally motivated in these papers as a limiting case of an alignment term proposed by Motsch and Tadmor [6]. In this paper, we rigorously justify this ...

Existence of at least three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system

In this paper, applying two theorems of Ricceri and Bonanno, we will establish the existence of three weak solutions for a quasilinear elliptic system. Indeed, we will assign a differentiable nonlinear operator to a differential equation system such that the critical points of this operator are weak solutions of the system. In this paper, applying two theorems of R...

Existence of Global Weak Solutions to Fokker–planck and Navier–stokes–fokker–planck Equations in Kinetic Models of Dilute Polymers

This survey paper reviews recent developments concerning the existence of global weak solutions to Fokker–Planck equations with unbounded drift terms, and coupled Navier–Stokes–Fokker–Planck systems of partial differential equations, that arise in finitely extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) type kinetic models of incompressible dilute polymeric fluids in the case of general noncorotational flow.

An Exact Rescaling Velocity Method for some Kinetic Flocking Models

In this work, we discuss kinetic descriptions of flocking models, of the so-called CuckerSmale [4] and Motsch-Tadmor [10] types. These models are given by Vlasov-type equations where the interactions taken into account are only given long-range bi-particles interaction potential. We introduce a new exact rescaling velocity method, inspired by the recent work [6], allowing to observe numerically...
