THE COMBINED INVISCID AND NON-RESISTIVE LIMIT FOR THE NONHOMOGENEOUS INCOMPRESSIBLE MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC EQUATIONS WITH NAVIER BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

In this paper, we establish the existence of the global weak solutions for the non-homogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with Navier boundary condi-tions for the velocity field and the magnetic field in a bounded domain Ω R^3. Furthermore,we prove that as the viscosity and resistivity coefficients go to zero simultaneously, these weaksolutions converge to the strong one of the ideal nonhomogeneous incompressible magneto-hydrodynamic equations in energy space.

ZERO KINEMATIC VISCOSITY-MAGNETIC DIFFUSION LIMIT OF THE INCOMPRESSIBLE VISCOUS MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC EQUATIONS WITH NAVIER BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

We investigate the uniform regularity and zero kinematic viscosity-magnetic diffusion limit for the incompressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations with the Navier boundary conditions on the velocity and perfectly conducting conditions on the magnetic field in a smooth bounded domain Ω⊂R^(3).It is shown that there exists a unique strong solution to the incompressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations in a finite time interval which is independent of the viscosity coefficient and the magnetic diffusivity coefficient.The solution is uniformly bounded in a conormal Sobolev space and W^(1,∞)(Ω)which allows us to take the zero kinematic viscosity-magnetic diffusion limit.Moreover,we also get the rates of convergence in L^(∞)(0,T;L^(2)),L^(∞)(0,T;W^(1,p))(2≤p<∞),and L^(∞)((0,T)×Ω)for some T>0.

Superlinear Fourth-order Elliptic Problem without Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz Growth Condition

This paper deals with superlinear fourth-order elliptic problem under Navier boundary condition. By using the mountain pass theorem and suitable truncation, a multiplicity result is established for all λ〉 0 and some previous result is extended.

LOCATION OF THE BLOW UP POINT FOR POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF A BIHARMONIC EQUATION INVOLVING NEARLY CRITICAL EXPONENT

In this paper a semilinear biharmonic problem involving nearly critical growth with Navier boundary condition is considered on an any bounded smooth domain. It is proved that positive solutions concentrate on a point in the domain, which is also a critical point of the Robin’s function corresponding to the Green’s function of biharmonic operator with the same boundary condition. Similar conclusion has been obtained in [6] under the condition that the domain is strictly convex.

Weighted polyharmonic equation with Navier boundary conditions in a half space

We study positive solutions of the following polyharmonic equation with Hardy weights associated to Navier boundary conditions on a half space：where rn is any positive integer satisfying 0 〈 2m 〈 n. We first prove that the positive solutions of （0.1） are super polyharmonic, i.e.,where x＊ = （x1,... ,Xn-1, --Xn） is the reflection of the point x about the plane Rn-1. Then, we use the method of moving planes in integral forms to derive rotational symmetry and monotonicity for the positive solution of （0.3）, in which α can be any real number between 0 and n. By some Pohozaev type identities in integral forms, we prove a Liouville type theorem--the non-existence of positive solutions for （0.1）.

INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS TO p(x)-BIHARMONIC PROBLEM WITH NAVIER BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

In this paper, we consider a p（x）-biharmonic problem with Navier boundary conditions. The existence of infinitely many solutions which tend to zero is investigated based on the symmetric Mountain Pass lemma. Our approach relies on the theory of variable exponent Sobolev space.

Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn System with Generalized Navier Boundary Condition

In this paper,we focus on the immiscible compressible two-phase flow described by the coupled compressible Navier-Stokes system and the modified Allen-Cahn equations.The generalized Navier boundary condition and the relaxation boundary condition are established in order to solve the problem of moving contact lines on the solid boundary by using the principle of minimum energy dissipation.The existence and uniqueness for local strong solution in three dimensional bounded domain for this type of boundary value problem is obtained by the elementary energy method and the maximum principle.

A Level Set Method for the Simulation of Moving Contact Lines in Three Dimensions

We propose an efficient numerical method for the simulation of the twophase flows with moving contact lines in three dimensions.The mathematical model consists of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for the two immiscible fluids with the standard interface conditions,the Navier slip condition along the solid wall,and a contact angle condition(Ren et al.(2010)[28]).In the numerical method,the governing equations for the fluid dynamics are coupledwith an advection equation for a level-set function.The latter models the dynamics of the fluid interface.Following the standard practice,the interface conditions are taken into account by introducing a singular force on the interface in themomentum equation.This results in a single set of governing equations in the whole fluid domain.Similarly,the contact angle condition is imposed by introducing a singular force,which acts in the normal direction of the contact line,into theNavier slip condition.The newboundary condition,which unifies the Navier slip condition and the contact angle condition,is imposed along the solid wall.The model is solved using the finite difference method.Numerical results are presented for the spreading of a droplet on both homogeneous and inhomogeneous solid walls,as well as the dynamics of a droplet on an inclined plate under gravity.

BIFURCATION AND DYNAMICS OF THIN SLIPPING FILMS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

The effects of the Born repulsive force on the stability and dynamics of ultra-thin slipping films under the influences of intermolecular forces are investigated with bifurcation theory and numerical simulation. Results show that the repulsive force has a stabilizing effect on the development of perturbations, and can suppress the rupture process induced by the van der Waals attractive force. Although slippage will enhance the growth of disturbances, it does not have influence on the linear cutoff wave number and the final shape of the film thickness as time approaches to infinity.

Numerical Simulation for Moving Contact Line with Continuous Finite Element Schemes

In this paper,we compute a phase field(diffuse interface)model of CahnHilliard type for moving contact line problems governing the motion of isothermal multiphase incompressible fluids.The generalized Navier boundary condition proposed by Qian et al.[1]is adopted here.We discretize model equations using a continuous finite element method in space and a modified midpoint scheme in time.We apply a penalty formulation to the continuity equation which may increase the stability in the pressure variable.Two kinds of immiscible fluids in a pipe and droplet displacement with a moving contact line under the effect of pressure driven shear flow are studied using a relatively coarse grid.We also derive the discrete energy law for the droplet displacement case,which is slightly different due to the boundary conditions.The accuracy and stability of the scheme are validated by examples,results and estimate order.
