We study the Navier-Stokes steady states for a low density monodisperse hard sphere granular gas (i.e, a hard sphere ideal monatomic gas with inelastic interparticle collisions). We present a classification of the uniform steady states that…
Smooth solutions to the axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations obey the following maximum principle: $$\sup_{t\geq 0}\|rv^\theta(t, \cdot)\|_{L^\infty} \leq \|rv^\theta(0, \cdot)\|_{L^\infty}.$$ We prove that all solutions with initial data…
Let $D$ be the exterior of a cone inside a ball, with its altitude angle at most $\pi/6$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, which touches the $x_3$ axis at the origin. For any initial value $v_0 = v_{0,r}e_{r} + v_{0,\theta} e_{\theta} + v_{0,3} e_{3}$ in…

We study a system describing the compressible barotropic fluids interacting with (visco) elastic solid shell/plate. In particular, the elastic structure is part of the moving boundary of the fluid, and the Navier-slip type boundary…
