Variational principles for the interaction of liquid crystals and electric fields in the Oseen--Frank model

Giovanni Di Fratta, Valeriy Slastikov, Arghir Zarnescu

We develop a rigorous variational framework for uniaxial nematic liquid crystals interacting with an external electric field in the one-constant Oseen--Frank approximation. Equilib…

On the impact of clusters of rigid balls on the motion of a viscous fluid

Marco Bravin, Eduard Feireisl, Arnab Roy +1

We develop a new approach to the problem of the motion of a large number of rigid bodies immersed in a viscous fluid. The leading idea is the concept of cluster - a collection of i…

The Ginzburg-Landau system with general potential: maximum principle and gradient estimates

Radu Ignat, Luc Nguyen, Valeriy Slastikov +1

We study critical points of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional $$\mathcal{F}_\varepsilon[u] = \int_Ω\Big[ \frac{1}{2}|\nabla u|^2 + \frac{1}{2\varepsilon^2} W(1 - |u|^2)\Big]\,d…

A not-so-strange term coming from somewhere

Giacomo Canevari, Kirill Cherednichenko, Arghir Zarnescu

We consider Laplace's equation in a periodically perforated domain with Robin boundary conditions on the holes, where the Robin coefficient is scaled proportionally to the inverse…

On the long time behaviour of a system of several rigid bodies immersed in a viscous fluid

Marco Bravin, Eduard Feireisl, Arnab Roy +1

We consider several rigid bodies immersed in a viscous Newtonian fluid contained in a bounded domain in . We introduce a new concept of dissipative weak solution of the proble…

On hydrostatic limit of Beris-Edwards system in a thin strip

Francesco De Anna, Xingyu Li, Marius Paicu +1

In this paper we consider the 3D co-rotational Beris-Edwards system modeling the hydrodynamic motion of nematic liquid crystals in a thin strip. The system contains the incompressi…
