  • The classical Kelvin-Voigt problem for incompressible fluids with unknown non-constant density: existence, uniqueness and regularity
    Publication . Antontsev, S. N.; Oliveira, H. B. de; Khompysh, Kh
    The classical Kelvin-Voigt equations for incompressible fluids with non-constant density are investigated in this work. To the associated initial-value problem endowed with zero Dirichlet conditions on the assumed Lipschitz-continuous boundary, we prove the existence of weak solutions: velocity and density. We also prove the existence of a unique pressure. These results are valid for d is an element of {2, 3, 4}. In particular, if d is an element of {2, 3}, the regularity of the velocity and density is improved so that their uniqueness can be shown. In particular, the dependence of the regularity of the solutions on the smoothness of the given data of the problem is established.
  • On a one-equation turbulent model with feedbacks
    Publication . de Oliveira, H. B.; Paiva, A.; Pinelas, S.; Došlá, Z.; Došlý, O.; Kloeden, P. E.
    A one-equation turbulent model is derived in this work on the basis of the approach used for the k-epsilon model. The novelty of the model consists in the consideration of a general feedback forces field in the momentum equation and a rather general turbulent dissipation function in the equation for the turbulent kinetic energy. For the steady-state associated boundary value problem, we prove the uniqueness of weak solutions under monotonous conditions on the feedbacks and smallness conditions on the solutions to the problem. We also discuss the existence of weak solutions and issues related with the higher integrability of the solutions gradients.
  • Parabolic reaction-diffusion systems with nonlocal coupled diffusivity terms
    Publication . Ferreira, Jorge; de Oliveira, Hermenegildo Borges
    In this work we study a system of parabolic reaction-diffusion equations which are coupled not only through the reaction terms but also by way of nonlocal diffusivity functions. For the associated initial problem, endowed with homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions, we prove the existence of global solutions. We also prove the existence of local solutions but with less assumptions on the boundedness of the nonlocal terms. The uniqueness result is established next and then we find the conditions under which the existence of strong solutions is assured. We establish several bow-up results for the strong solutions to our problem and we give a criterium for the convergence of these solutions towards a homogeneous state.
