    Weak-strong uniqueness and energy-variational solutions for a class of viscoelastoplastic fluid models
    (Boston, Mass. : De Gruyter, 2022) Eiter, Thomas; Hopf, Katharina; Lasarzik, Robert
    We study a model for a fluid showing viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior, which describes the flow in terms of the fluid velocity and a symmetric deviatoric stress tensor. This stress tensor is transported via the Zaremba-Jaumann rate, and it is subject to two dissipation processes: one induced by a nonsmooth convex potential and one by stress diffusion. We show short-time existence of strong solutions as well as their uniqueness in a class of Leray-Hopf-type weak solutions satisfying the tensorial component in the sense of an evolutionary variational inequality. The global-in-time existence of such generalized solutions has been established in a previous work. We further study the limit when stress diffusion vanishes. In this case, the above notion of generalized solutions is no longer suitable, and we introduce the concept of energy-variational solutions, which is based on an inequality for the relative energy. We derive general properties of energy-variational solutions and show their existence by passing to the nondiffusive limit in the relative energy inequality satisfied by generalized solutions for nonzero stress diffusion.

    Weak-strong uniqueness and energy-variational solutions for a class of viscoelastoplastic fluid models
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Eiter, Thomas; Hopf, Katharina; Lasarzik, Robert
    We study a model for a fluid showing viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior, which describes the flow in terms of the fluid velocity and an internal stress. This stress tensor is transported via the Zaremba--Jaumann rate, and it is subject to two dissipation processes: one induced by a nonsmooth convex potential and one by stress diffusion. We show short-time existence of strong solutions as well as their uniqueness in a class of Leray--Hopf type weak solutions satisfying the tensorial component in the sense of an evolutionary variational inequality.

We derive general properties of energy-variational solutions and show their existence by passing to the non-diffusive limit in the relative energy inequality satisfied by generalized solutions for non-zero stress diffusion.

    Leray--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, Alexander
    We 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.
