Newtonian limit for weakly viscoelastic fluid flows of Olroyds' type

Luc Molinet, Raafat Talhouk

英文摘要:

This paper is concerned with regular flows of incompressible weakly viscoelastic fluids which obey a differential constitutive law of Oldroyd type. We study the newtonian limit for weakly viscoelastic fluid flows in $\R^N$ or $\T^N$ for $N=2, 3$, when the Weissenberg number (relaxation time measuring the elasticity effect in the fluid) tends to zero. More precisely, we prove that the velocity field and the extra-stress tensor converge in their existence spaces (we examine the Sobolev-$H^s$ theory and the Besov-$B^{s,1}_2$ theory to reach the critical case $s= N/2$) to the corresponding newtonian quantities. These convergence results are established in the case of "ill-prepared"' data.We deduce, in the two-dimensional case, a new result concerning the global existence of weakly viscoelastic fluids flow. Our approach makes use of essentially two ingredients : the stability of the null solution of the viscoelastic fluids flow and the damping effect,on the difference between the extra-stress tensor and the tensor of rate of deformation, induced by the constitutive law of the fluid.
