Uniqueness in an incompressible fluid with objective heat conduction model

Abstract

In the context of heat conduction, the equations of Maxwell-Cattaneo is a successful alternative to the Fourier's law. In 2009, Christov proposed a frame-independent (or objective) generalization of Maxwell-Cattaneo equation. For a more general class of objective heat conduction Maxwell-Cattaneo-Christov equations proposed by Angeles, a uniqueness result is proved, applied to an incompressible fluid.
