In this work the evolution of a fluid droplet in vacuum is considered. This means that the surface tension and the fluid forces are in equilibrium at the free boundary. The fluid is governed by the incompressible quasi-steady Stokes…
We will present qualitative and numerical results on a partial differential equation (PDE) system which models a certain fluid-structure dynamics. The wellposedness of this PDE model is established by means of constructing for it a…
We study a quasi-static evolution of thermo-visco-elastic model. We act with external forces on non-homogeneous material body, which is a subject of our research. Such action may cause deformation of this body and may change its…
We consider an interface problem often arising in transport problems: a coupled system of partial differential equations with one (elliptic) transport equation on a bounded domain and one equation (in this case the Laplace problem) on the…
We consider a Stokes flow coupled with advective-diffusive transport in an evolving domain with boundary conditions allowing for inflow and outflow. The evolution of the domain is induced by the transport process, leading to a fully coupled…

We study a coupled PDE-ODE system modeling the small oscillations of a floating cylinder interacting with small water waves. We consider the case when the floating is supposed to be an infinite circular cylinder, so that the equations of…
We propose a model for unilateral contact with adhesion between a viscoelastic body and a rigid support, encompassing thermal and frictional effects. Following the approach by M. Fremond, adhesion is described in terms of a surface damage…
We are concerned with a system of partial differential equations describing internal flows of homogeneous incompressible fluids of Bingham type in which the value of activation (the so-called yield) stress depends on the internal pore…
Thermodynamic relations are derived from first principles of mechanics for non-equilibrium processes. Since the key role herein is played by the law of increase of entropy, the latter is analyzed at first. It is shown that its derivation…

Viscoelastic surface rheology plays an important role in multiphase systems. A typical example is the actin cortex which surrounds most animal cells. It shows elastic properties for short time scales and behaves viscous for longer time…
In the article we study a hyperbolic-elliptic system of PDE. The system can describe two different physical phenomena: 1st one is the motion of magnetic vortices in the II-type superconductor and 2nd one \ is the collective motion of cells.…
