- ItemA coarse‐grained electrothermal model for organic semiconductor devices(Chichester, West Sussex : Wiley, 2022) Glitzky, Annegret; Liero, Matthias; Nika, GrigorWe derive a coarse-grained model for the electrothermal interaction of organic semiconductors. The model combines stationary drift-diffusion- based electrothermal models with thermistor-type models on subregions of the device and suitable transmission conditions. Moreover, we prove existence of a solution using a regularization argument and Schauder's fixed point theorem. In doing so, we extend recent work by taking into account the statistical relation given by the Gauss–Fermi integral and mobility functions depending on the temperature, charge-carrier density, and field strength, which is required for a proper description of organic devices.
- ItemAn existence result for a class of nonlinear magnetorheological composites(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Nika, GrigorWe prove existence of a weak solution for a nonlinear, multi-physics, multi-scale problem of magnetorheological suspensions introduced in Nika & Vernescu (Z. Angew. Math. Phys., 71(1):1--19, '20). The hybrid model couples the Stokes' equation with the quasi-static Maxwell's equations through the Lorentz force and the Maxwell stress tensor. The proof of existence is based on: i) the augmented variational formulation of Maxwell's equations, ii) the definition of a new function space for the magnetic induction and the proof of a Poincaré type inequality, iii) the Altman--Shinbrot fixed point theorem when the magnetic Reynold's number, Rm, is small.
- ItemOn the existence of weak solutions in the context of multidimensional incompressible fluid dynamics(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Lasarzik, RobertWe define the concept of energy-variational solutions for the Navier--Stokes and Euler equations. This concept is shown to be equivalent to weak solutions with energy conservation. Via a standard Galerkin discretization, we prove the existence of energy-variational solutions and thus weak solutions in any space dimension for the Navier--Stokes equations. In the limit of vanishing viscosity the same assertions are deduced for the incompressible Euler system. Via the selection criterion of maximal dissipation we deduce well-posedness for these equations.

- ItemLeray--Hopf solutions to a viscoelastic fluid model with nonsmooth stress-strain relation(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Eiter, Thomas; Hopf, Katharina; Mielke, AlexanderWe consider a fluid model including viscoelastic and viscoplastic effects. The state is given by the fluid velocity and an internal stress tensor that is transported along the flow with the Zaremba--Jaumann derivative. Moreover, the stress tensor obeys a nonlinear and nonsmooth dissipation law as well as stress diffusion. We prove the existence of global-in-time weak solutions satisfying an energy inequality under general Dirichlet conditions for the velocity field and Neumann conditions for the stress tensor.
