Global Weak Solutions for an Incompressible Charged Fluid with Multi-Scale Couplings: Initial-Boundary Value Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cauchy problem for the Poisson-Nernst-Planck/Navier-Stokes model was investigated by the first author in [Transport Theory Statist. Phys. 31 (2002), 333–366], where a local existence-uniqueness theory was demonstrated, based upon Kato’s framework for examining evolution equations. In this article, the existence of a global weak solution is proved to hold for the model, in the case of the initial-boundary value problem. Connection of the above analysis to significant applications is addressed, including bio-hybrid devices in neuronal cell monitoring, bio-reactor devices in tissue engineering and microfluidic devices in Lab-On-Chip technology.

On amodel in incompressible radiation hydrodynamics
We consider a simplified model arising in radiation hydrodynamics based on the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier system describing the macroscopic fluid motion, and a transport equation modeling the propagation of radiative intensity. We establish global-in-time existence for the associated initial-boundary value problem in the framework of weak solutions.
متن کاملA Study of the Navier-stokes Equations with the Kinematic and Navier Boundary Conditions
Abstract. We study the initial-boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids in a domain in R with compact and smooth boundary, subject to the kinematic and Navier boundary conditions. We first reformulate the Navier boundary condition in terms of the vorticity, which is motivated by the Hodge theory on manifolds with boundary from the viewpoint of differential...
متن کاملExistence of Axisymmetric Weak Solutions of the 3-d Euler Equations for Near-vortex-sheet Initial Data
We study the initial value problem for the 3-D Euler equation when the fluid is inviscid and incompressible, and flows with axisymmetry and without swirl. On the initial vorticity ω0, we assumed that ω0/r belongs to L(logL(R3))α with α > 1/2, where r is the distance to an axis of symmetry. To prove the existence of weak global solutions, we prove first a new a priori estimate for the solution. ...
متن کاملConstruction of Solutions and L-error Estimates of Viscous Methods for Scalar Conservation Laws with Boundary
This paper is concerned with an initial boundary value problem for strictly convex conservation laws whose weak entropy solution is in the piecewise smooth solution class consisting of finitely many discontinuities. By the structure of the weak entropy solution of the corresponding initial value problem and the boundary entropy condition developed by Bardos–Leroux–Nedelec, we give a constructio...
متن کاملOn a non-isothermal diffuse interface model for two-phase flows of incompressible fluids
We introduce a diffuse interface model describing the evolution of a mixture of two different viscous incompressible fluids of equal density. The main novelty of the present contribution consists in the fact that the effects of temperature on the flow are taken into account. In the mathematical model, the evolution of the velocity u is ruled by the Navier-Stokes system with temperaturedependent...
