Inertial manifolds for a Smoluchowski equation on a circle
The existence of inertial manifolds for a Smoluchowski equation—a nonlinear and nonlocal Fokker–Planck equation which arises in the modelling of colloidal suspensions—is investigated. The difficulty due to first-order derivatives in the nonlinearity is circumvented by a transformation. Mathematics Subject Classification: 35Kxx, 70Kxx
متن کاملDissipativity and Gevrey Regularity of a Smoluchowski Equation
We investigate a Smoluchowski equation (a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation on the unit sphere), which arises in modeling of colloidal suspensions. We prove the dissipativity of the equation in 2D and 3D, in certain Gevrey classes of analytic functions.
متن کاملFinite-dimensional Description of the Long-term Dynamics for the 2d Doi-hess Model for Liquid Crystalline Polymers in a Shear Flow
The existence of inertial manifolds for a Smoluchowski equation arising in the 2D Doi-Hess model for liquid crystalline polymers subjected to a shear flow is investigated. The presence of a non-variational drift term complicates the dynamics dramatically from the gradient case in which the it is characterized solely by the steady states. Several transformations are used in order to bring the eq...
متن کاملInertial manifolds under multistep discretization
Finite-dimensional inertial manifolds attract solutions to a nonlinear parabolic diierential equation at an exponential rate. In this paper inertial manifolds for multistep discretizations of such equations are studied. We provide an existence result for inertial manifolds under multistep discretization and show that these inertial manifolds converge to the inertial manifold of the original equ...
متن کاملMultiscale simulations for suspensions of rod-like molecules
We study the Doi model for suspensions of rod–like molecules. The Doi model couples a microscopic Fokker–Planck type equation (Smoluchowski equation) to the macroscopic Stokes equation. The Smoluchowski equation describes the evolution of the distribution of the rod orientations; it comes as a drift–diffusion equation on the sphere at every point in physical space. For sufficiently high macrosc...
