Well-Posedness for the Dumbbell Model of Polymeric Fluids
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dumbbell model is a coupled hydrodynamic-kinetic model for polymeric fluids in which the configurations of the dumbbells are described by stochastic differential equations. We prove well-posedness of this model by deriving directly a priori estimates on the stochastic model. Our results can be used to analyze stochastic simulation methods such as the ones that are based on Brownian configuration fields.

Local Existence for the FENE-Dumbbell Model of Polymeric Fluids
We study the well-posedness of a multi-scale model of polymeric fluids. The microscopic model is the kinetic theory of the finitely extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbell model. The macroscopic model is the incompressible non-Newton fluids with polymer stress computed via the Kramers expression. The boundary condition of the FENE-type Fokker-Planck equation is proved to be unnecessary by ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a rheological model for polymeric fluids based on FENE model
Rheological models for polymer solutions and melts based on the finitely extensible non-linear elastic (FENE) dumbbell theory are reviewed in this study. The FENE-P model that is a well-known Peterlin approximation of the FENE model, indicates noticeable deviation from original FENE predictions and also experimental results, especially in the transient flow. In addition, both FENE and FENE-P mo...
متن کاملThe Cauchy-Dirichlet Problem for the Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic Dumbbell Model of Polymeric Fluids
The finitely extensible nonlinear elastic (FENE) dumbbell model consists of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equation for the solvent and the Fokker–Planck equation for the polymer distribution. In such a model, the polymer elongation cannot exceed a limit m0 which yields all interesting features of solutions near this limit. This work is concerned with the sharpness of boundary conditions in t...
متن کاملThe Cauchy-dirichlet Problem for the Fene Dumbbell Model of Polymeric Fluids
The FENE dumbbell model consists of the incompressible NavierStokes equation for the solvent and the Fokker-Planck equation for the polymer distribution. In such a model, the polymer elongation cannot exceed a limit √ b which yields all interesting features of solutions near this limit. This work is concerned with the sharpness of boundary conditions in terms of the elongation parameter b. Thro...
متن کاملGlobal Existence of Weak Solutions to the Fene Dumbbell Model of Polymeric Flows
Abstract Systems coupling fluids and polymers are of great interest in many branches of sciences. One of the most classical models to describe them is the FENE (Finite Extensible Nonlinear Elastic) dumbbell model. We prove global existence of weak solutions to the FENE dumbbell model of polymeric flows. The main difficulty is the passage to the limit in a nonlinear term that has no obvious comp...
