Objectives:
Mathematical and numerical analysis and numerical solution of fluid flows belong to the most often studied problems of the theory of partial differential equations and their numerical solution. During the last decades, a big progress has been achieved in these fields which enables us to study models of complex fluids including the possibility to consider their dependence on temperature. This project is focused on the study of such models of fluid thermodynamics and mechanics with the aim to extend the knowledge in the field of the theoretical analysis of the corresponding systems of partial differential equations and numerical analysis of the methods for their solution. Computational simulations using specific numerical methods will be performed to support the analytical results concerning the well-posedness of the model problems and qualitative properties of their solutions. The proposed projects assumes a tight collaboration of specialists in these fields which is an important prerequisite for further development of mathematical and computational fluid thermodynamics.
Objectives:
The goal of the project is to get new relevant results concerning flow in domains with varying geometry. From the viewpoint of theoretical analysis, we will deal with flow of fluids (incompressible and compressible) around a rotating body (existence of weak or very weak solutions, asymptotic behaviour solutions, artificial boundary conditions) in case that the axis of rotation of the body and the velocity at infinity are parallel or not parallel. We will also investigate the related hydrodynamical potential theory. Moreover, we will investigate the case of motion of rigid bodies in viscous fluid (mostrly non-Newtonian incompressible and Newtonian compressible), in several cases we include the changes of temperature. Part of the problems mentioned above will be solved numerically. Finally, we perform the numerical simulation of flow of fluids in domains with complicated geometry corresponding to the flow of blood in healthy veins as well as in cases of cardiovascular diseases.
In the framework of the project we will study the steady flow around bodies. We will consider the case when the direction of the angular velocity and of the velocity at infinity are or are not parallel. We will extend the results from the previous project, where the angular and tranlation velocities were parallel. We will study the linear cases and Navier-Stokes equations. We will investigate the existence of solution, asymptotic behaviour, resolvent and spectrum problem. Further, we will study the motion of several bodies in the fluid. We will consider the influence of boundary conditions and possibility of collisions. In this part we will study the existence of weak solution for steady and non-steady cases. We will investigate fluid flows described by Navier-Stokes equations as well as by non-Newtonian models. We will investigate the modeling of blood flow and related cardiovascular cases. Next to it the numerical simulation of severeal models will be performed.
