Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The unique existence of strong solutions appearing in mathematical fluid dynamics, such as Navier–Stokes equations, MHD, etc., is one of the main subjects in the study of nonlinear partial differential equations. Moreover, the maximal regularity and stability estimates for linearized equations play the most important role in analysis today. Due to the many recent developments in the area, I would like to organize a Special Issue contributing to this mathematical investigation.

In this paper, we consider a compressible fluid model of the Korteweg type on general domains in the N-dimensional Euclidean space for N2. The Korteweg-type model is employed to describe fluid capillarity effects or liquid–vapor two-phase flows with phase transition as a diffuse interface model. In the Korteweg-type model, the stress tensor is given by the sum of the standard viscous stress tensor and the so-called Korteweg stress tensor, including higher order derivatives of the fluid density. The local existence of strong solutions is proved in an Lp-in-time and Lq-in-space setting, p(1,) and q(N,), with additional regularity of the initial density on the basis of maximal regularity for the linearized system.

In this paper, we prove the unique existence of global strong solutions and decay estimates for the simplified Ericksen–Leslie system describing compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in RN, 3N7. Firstly, we rewrite the system in Lagrange coordinates, and secondly, we prove the global well-posedness for the transformed system, which is the main task in this paper. The proof is based on the maximal Lp-Lq regularity and the Lp-Lq decay estimates to the linearized problem. Full article

We are concerned with a system of equations governing the evolution of isothermal, viscous, and compressible fluids of the Korteweg type, which is used to describe a two-phase liquid–vapor mixture. It is found that there is a “regularity-gain" dissipative structure of linearized systems in case of zero sound speed P(ρ*)=0, in comparison with the classical compressible Navier–Stokes equations. First, we establish the global-in-time existence of strong solutions in hybrid Besov spaces by using Banach’s fixed point theorem. Furthermore, we prove that the global solutions with critical regularity are Gevrey analytic in fact. Secondly, based on Gevrey’s estimates, we obtain uniform bounds on the growth of the analyticity radius of solutions in negative Besov spaces, which lead to the optimal time-decay estimates of solutions and their derivatives of arbitrary order.

Consider the time-periodic viscous incompressible fluid flow past a body with non-zero velocity at infinity. This article gives sufficient conditions such that weak solutions to this problem are smooth. Since time-periodic solutions do not have finite kinetic energy in general, the well-known regularity results for weak solutions to the corresponding initial-value problem cannot be transferred directly. The established regularity criterion demands a certain integrability of the purely periodic part of the velocity field or its gradient, but it does not concern the time mean of these quantities.

We investigate a uniformly rotating finite mass consisting of two immiscible, viscous, incompressible self-gravitating fluids which is governed by an interface problem for the Navier–Stokes system with mass forces and the gradient of the Newton potential on the right-hand sides. The interface between the liquids is assumed to be closed. Surface tension acts on the interface and on the exterior free boundary. A study of this problem is performed in the Hölder spaces of functions. The global unique solvability of the problem is obtained under the smallness of the initial data, external forces and rotation speed, and the proximity of the given initial surfaces to some axisymmetric equilibrium figures. It is proved that if the second variation of the energy functional is positive and mass forces decrease exponentially, then small perturbations of the axisymmetric figures of equilibrium tend exponentially to zero as the time t, and the motion of liquid mass passes into the rotation of the two-phase drop as a solid body.

We consider the free boundary problem of MHD in the multi-dimensional case. This problem describes the motion of two incompressible fluids separated by a closed interface under the action of a magnetic field. This problem is overdetermined, and we find an equivalent system of equations which is uniquely solvable locally in time in the Lp-Lq maximal regularity class, where 1<p,q< and 2/p+N/q<1. As a result, the original two-phase problem for the MHD is solvable locally in time. Full article

In this paper, we establish the unique existence and some decay properties of a global solution of a free boundary problem of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in Lp in time and Lq in space framework in a uniformly H2 domain ΩRN for N4. We assume the unique solvability of the weak Dirichlet problem for the Poisson equation and the Lq-Lr estimates for the Stokes semigroup. The novelty of this paper is that we do not assume the compactness of the boundary, which is essentially used in the case of exterior domains proved by Shibata. The restriction N4 is required to deduce an estimate for the nonlinear term G(u) arising from divv=0. However, we establish the results in the half space R+N for N3 by reducing the linearized problem to the problem with G=0, where G is the right member corresponding to G(u). Full article
