We consider the homogenization of the Navier-Stokes equation, set in a channel with a rough boundary, of small amplitude and wavelength $\epsilon$. It was shown recently that, for any non-degenerate roughness pattern, and for any reasonable…
In the dynamics of viscous fluid, the case of vanishing kinematic viscosity is actually equivalent to the Reynolds number tending to infinity. Hence, in the limit of vanishing viscosity the fluid flow is essentially turbulent. On the other…
One of the crucial aspects of patient-specific blood flow simulations is to specify material parameters and boundary conditions. The choice of boundary conditions can have a substantial impact on the character of the flow. While no-slip is…
