In this work, we analyze a Stokes problem arising in the study of the Navier-Stokes flow of a liquid jet. The analysis is accomplished by showing that the relevant Stokes operator accounting for a free surface gives rise to a sectorial…

We consider systems of particles coupled with fluids. The particles are described by the evolution of their density, and the fluid is described by the Navier-Stokes equations. The particles add stress to the fluid and the fluid carries and…
In this study, a shape optimization problem for the two-dimensional stationary Navier--Stokes equations with an artificial boundary condition is considered. The fluid is assumed to be flowing through a rectangular channel, and the…
When fluid is confined between two molecularly smooth surfaces to a few molecular diameters, it shows a large enhancement of its viscosity. From experiments it seems clear that the fluid is squeezed out layer by layer. A simple solution of…
The encapsulation of active particles, such as bacteria or active colloids, inside a droplet gives rise to nontrivial shape dynamics and droplet motility. To understand this behavior, we derive an asymptotic solution for the fluid flow…
This paper is concerned with steady, fully developed motion of a Navier-Stokes fluid with shear-dependent viscosity in a curved pipe under a given axial pressure gradient. We establish existence and uniqueness results, derive appropriate…

A chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system is studied under dynamical boundary conditions in a bounded convex domain with smooth boundary. This models the interaction of populations of swimming bacteria with the surrounding fluid. The existence of a…
In the present work the second Stokes problem about behaviour of the rarefied gas filling half-space is formulated. A plane limiting half-space makes harmonious fluctuations with variable amplitude in the plane. The amplitude changes on the…
This work is devoted to study the global behavior of viscous flows contained in a symmetric domain with complete slip boundary. In such scenario the boundary no longer provides friction and therefore the perturbation of angular velocity…
A Stokes experiment for foams is proposed. It consists in a two-dimensional flow of a foam, confined between a water subphase and a top plate, around a fixed circular obstacle. We present systematic measurements of the drag exerted by the…
Within the framework of variational modelling we derive a one-phase moving boundary problem describing the motion of a semipermeable membrane enclosing a viscous liquid, driven by osmotic pressure and surface tension of the membrane. For…
We consider the Stokes system in $\mathbb R^3,$ deprived of $N$ spheres of radius $1/N,$ completed by constant boundary conditions on the spheres. This problem models the instantaneous response of a viscous fluid to an immersed cloud of…
