- ItemA theory of generalised solutions for ideal gas mixtures with Maxwell--Stefan diffusion(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2020) Druet, Pierre-ÉtienneAfter the pioneering work by Giovangigli on mathematics of multicomponent flows, several attempts were made to introduce global weak solutions for the PDEs describing the dynamics of fluid mixtures. While the incompressible case with constant density was enlighted well enough due to results by Chen and Jüngel (isothermal case), or Marion and Temam, some open questions remain for the weak solution theory of gas mixtures with their corresponding equations of mixed parabolic-hyperbolic type. For instance, Mucha, Pokorny and Zatorska showed the possibility to stabilise the hyperbolic component by means of the Bresch-Desjardins technique and a regularisation of pressure preventing vacuum. The result by Dreyer, Druet, Gajewski and Guhlke avoids emphex machina stabilisations, but the mathematical assumption that the Onsager matrix is uniformly positive on certain subspaces leads, in the dilute limit, to infinite diffusion velocities which are not compatible with the Maxwell-Stefan form of diffusion fluxes. In this paper, we prove the existence of global weak solutions for isothermal and ideal compressible mixtures with natural diffusion. The main new tool is an asymptotic condition imposed at low pressure on the binary Maxwell-Stefan diffusivities, which compensates possibly extreme behaviour of weak solutions in the rarefied regime.
- ItemOn a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard equation with a reaction term(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Melchionna, Stefano; Rocca, ElisabettaWe prove existence, uniqueness, regularity and separation properties for a nonlocal Cahn- Hilliard equation with a reaction term. We deal here with the case of logarithmic potential and degenerate mobility as well an uniformly lipschitz in u reaction term g(x, t, u).
- ItemExistence of solutions to a two-dimensional model for nonisothermal two-phase flows of incompressible fluids(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Eleuteri, Michela; Rocca, Elisabetta; Schimperna, GiulioWe consider a thermodynamically consistent diffuse interface model describing two-phase flows of incompressible fluids in a non-isothermal setting. The model was recently introduced in [12] where existence of weak solutions was proved in three space dimensions. Here, we aim at studying the properties of solutions in the two-dimensional case. In particular, we can show existence of global in time solutions satisfying a stronger formulation of the model with respect to the one considered in [12]. Moreover, we can admit slightly more general conditions on some material coefficients of the system.
- ItemGlobal existence of solutions to Keller--Segel chemotaxis system with heterogeneous logistic source and nonlinear secretion(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2021) Arumgam, Gurusamy; Dond, Asha K.; Erhardt, André H.We study the following Keller-Segel chemotaxis system with logistic source and nonlinear secretion. For this system, we prove the global existence of solutions under suitable assumptions.
