9:00Mohamed Majdoub (University Tunis ElManar): Energy Critical NLS in two space dimensions We investigate the initial value problem for a defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation with exponential nonlinearity

We identify subcritical, critical and supercritical regimes in the energy space. We establish global well-posedness in the subcritical and critical regimes. Well-posedness fails to hold in the supercritical case. We also obtain a scattering result in the subcritical regime.
10:15Yutaka Terasawa (Nečas Center and Sapporo University): On Stokes operators with variable viscosity We consider a genaralization of the Stokes resolvent equation, where the constant viscosity is replaced by a general given positive function bounded from below by a positive constant. This system arises as a linearized system in several fluid mechanics problems. We prove that an associated Stokes-like operator generates an analytic semi-group and admits a bounded $ H_{\infty} $ calculus in $ L^q $ space, which implies the maximal $ L^q $ regularity of the corresponding parabolic evolution equation. The analysis is done for both bounded domains and some class of unbounded domains with boundary of low regularity.

9:00László Székelyhidi (University of Bonn): Convex Integration for Isometric Immersions and the Euler Equations Since work of Nash and Kuiper in the 1950s the following dichotomy concerning isometric embeddings of $S^2$ into $\R^3$ is well known: whereas the only $C^2$ isometric embedding is the standard embedding modulo rigid motion, there exist many $C^1$ isometric embeddings which can "wrinkle up" the sphere inside arbitrarily small regions in space. It turns out that the same method can be used to construct many examples of weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations which dissipate energy and are highly oscillatory. In the talk I will show the proof of this result, which is joint work with Camillo De Lellis. I will then address the question of what should be the borderline regularity between rigidity and flexibility for isometric immersions, and the analogous borderline between dissipative and energy-conserving solutions of the Euler equations. These questions are highly relevant in their own right, and seem very much related.

10:15Vuk Milisic (Wolfgang Pauli Institute, Vienna): Multi-scale blood flow modelling for stented arteries: theoretical and numerical results Stents are medical devices designed to modify blood flow in aneurysm sacs, in order to prevent their rupture. Some of them can be considered as a locally periodic rough boundary. In order to approximate blood flow in arteries and vessels of the cardio-vascular system containing stents, we use multi-scale techniques to construct boundary layers and wall laws. Then, we investigate convergence of boundary layer approximations and the corresponding wall laws in the case of some realistic boundary conditions at the inlet and outlet parts of the domain. We derive error estimates in terms of the roughness size epsilon either in the a priori norm or in the very veak context (cf Necas). We show some numerical test validating our theoretical results.
11:30Nikolai V. Chemetov (CMAF / University of Lisbon): Strongly Nonlinear Hyperbolic - Elliptic Problem in a Bounded Domain We investigate a mixed hyperbolic-elliptic type system of PDEs in a given domain. Motivated by physics, we consider nonzero boundary conditions, which describe a flow through the domain. We prove the solvability of this system, using a kinetic formulation of the problem. The system can be used for different physical situations, such as:
a) the motion of superconducting vortices in the superconductor;
b) the Keller-Segel model, describing the collective cell movement;
c) the porous media motion and etc.

Workshop Mathematical aspects of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics

In the occassion of 60th birthday of Prof. Jiří Neustupa.

Place: Blue lecture hall, Institute of Mathematics (ground floor of the building beyond the backyard), Žitná 25, Praha 1

Organized by Petr Kučera (Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague) and Šárka Nečasová (Institute of Mathematics, Czech Academy of Sciences).

9:00-9:15Antonín Novotný (University of Toulon): opening
9:20-10:05Patrick Penel (University of Toulon): In occasion of sixtieth birthday of Jiří Neustupa: The main originality of three common studies in the theory of Navier-Stokes equations The mathematical understanding of many qualitative aspects of classical 3D-Navier-Stokes flows is always a fascinating subject of research. Among central issues are the following questions : Nature of eventual singularities developed by the flows ? Influence of boundary conditions complemented the models ? Some related problems have been solved in these directions. The present lecture proposes a brief survey of three common small contributions obtained with Jiri Neustupa based on relatively new approaches.
  • New in 1996-97, we focused our attention on regularity information in dependance of specific smoothness of one velocity component (expecting the role of the vorticity and this fact that in case of blow'up all velocity components simultaneously loose their regularity).
  • New in 2002-03, we weakened the three constraints of Dirichlet boundary conditions and preserved the usual results of the theory generalizing the impermeability properties (thinking that generally speaking the tangential part of the velocity has no reason to be zero on the boundary)
  • New in 2008-09, we claimed and proved that the contacts or possible collisions of bodies moving in a fluid can occur with a natural non zero velocity if one consider Navier's boundary condition (a result we cannot expect with the Dirichlet boundary conditions).
10:05-10:50Miloslav Feistauer (Charles University in Prague): Numerical solution of compressible flow in time dependent domains We are concerned with the simulation of inviscid and viscous compressible flow in time dependent domains. We present an ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) formulation of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations describing compressible flow, discretize them in space by the discontinous Galerkin method and introduce a semi-implicit linearized time stepping for the numerical solution of the complete problem. We present some computational results for flow in a channel with a moving wall.
These results were obtained in cooperation with Václav Kučera and Jaroslava Prokopová from Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, and Jaromír Horáček from Institute of Thermomechanics of Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.

11:20-12:05Reimund Rautmann (University of Paderborn): On very smooth Navier-Stokes solutions Recent results on vorticity transport&diffusion [1] suggest the question, wether there are Navier-Stokes solutions taking their values in the domain of the Stokes operator´s power 3/2. We will find such solutions to Navier-Stokes initial-boundary value problems with outer forces which depend on the flow velocity in a special way proposed by V.A. Solonnikov.

10:15Enrich Fernandez-Cara (University of Sevilla, Spain): Some recent results and open questions concerning the control of nonlinear PDEs from fluid mechanics This talk concerns the formulation of control problems for some partial differential systems with origin in fluid mechanics: the Navier-Stokes and Boussinesq equations, quasi-geostrophic models, the Maxwell and Oldroyd viscoelastic models, etc. The most interesting results are connected to the local exact controllability to the trajectories. The particular properties of some of these systems lead to challenging open problems.

We introduce a dual problem, calculate the first term of an asymptotic expension with respect to conductivity in various parts of a semiconductor and obtain the first uniqueness result in an important unipolar case. We outline possible future research.

9:00Roman Shvydkoy (University of Illinois, Chicago): On ill-posedness of basic equations of fluid dynamics in Besov spaces In this talk we will discuss several results concerning ill-posedness and conditional regularity of Navier-Stokes and Euler equations in various critical Besov spaces. In particular we present a construction of a vector field $u_0 \in B^{-1}_{\infty,\infty}\cap H^s$ for all $s<1/2$ in 3D such that no Leray-Hopf solution to the NSE with this initial condition has a continuous trajectory in the metric of $B^{-1}_{\infty,\infty}$. The construction exploits the basic mechanism of the forward energy cascade. On the other hand, if we know that a weak Leray-Hopf solution is continuous in $B^{-1}_{\infty,\infty}$, then it is automatically regular. This illustrates the criticality of Besov space $B^{-1}_{\infty,\infty}$ for the well-posedness theory for NSE. Similar examples will presented for the Euler equation to prove ill-posedness in a range of Besov spaces including $B^{5/2}_{2,\infy}$. We recall that H^{5/2} = B^{5/2}_{2,2}$ is the critical space for applicability of the energy method, and the best known local well-posedness result in only known for $B^{5/2}_{2,1}$. The case of $H^{5/2}$ itself remains an open question. The talk is based on a joint work with A. Cheskidov.

In this talk, we consider time-dependent singular solutions whose singularity resembles that of the singular steady state. In some parameter range, given suitable initial data, we establish the local existence and uniqueness of a solution with moving singularities. We also show the global existence of a solution whose singular point traces any prescribed smooth curve.

9:00Dieter Bothe (TU Darmstadt): The Maxwell-Stefan approach to multicomponent diffusion From classical experiments on diffusion in mixtures of chemical components it is well-known that anomalous effects like up-hill diffusion occur and, hence, Fickian diffusion does not apply. The Maxwell-Stefan approach considers force balances to account for cross-effects between different species as well as thermodynamic driving forces to include effects in non-ideal solutions. We recall the derivation of the Maxwell-Stefan equations and provide a first result on the wellposedness of the resulting reaction-diffusion equations.

The nonlinear coupling takes place in the diffusion coefficient. The proofs are based on anisotropic estimates in tangential and normal directions, and on an $L^p$ variant of the Gronwall lemma (joint work with Lucia Panizzi).

9:00Radek Erban (University of Oxford): On some partial differential equations arising in mathematical modelling of biological systems The material to be covered will follow on from my talks "Stochastic and Multiscale Modelling in Biology I and II" given on Monday, 23rd November 2009, as part of the Necas Seminar Series on Continuum Mechanics. However, this talk will be understandable without having attended the first two lectures. I will focus on two problems in which partial differential equations (PDEs) play a significant role. The first one is the analysis of the behaviour of stochastic chemical systems which is based on the chemical Fokker-Planck equation. The second area will be concerned with hyperbolic and parabolic PDEs arising in modelling of chemotaxis of bacteria and amoeboid cells.

9:00Miroslav Bulíček (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Praha): Regularity results for unsteady incompressible Stokes-Fourier and Navier-Stokes-Fourier systems We consider unsteady flow of homogeneous incompressible non-Newtonian or/and Newtonian heat conducting fluid in spatially periodic setting. For non-Newtonian fluids we identify a class of viscosities for which it is relatively easy to get estimates on the second gradient of the velocity in 2D case. Using then regularity methods developed for two-dimensional flows of non-heat conducting fluids we are able to show the existence of a classical solution to 2D Navier-Stokes-Fourier system. On the other hand the case of Newtonian fluids is more delicate and one cannot directly obtain the estimates on the second velocity gradient even for Stokes-Fourier system, i.e., the system without convective terms. Although this fact, we are still able to identify a class of physically relevant viscosities for which the desired estimate can be derived and then consequently the full regularity of the solution in 2D setting can be established.

9:00Dalibor Pražák (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Praha): Attractors for nonlinear parabolic problems in unbounded domains We study the long time behavior of solutions to nonlinear parabolic equations in unbounded domains.
