Global Finite-Energy Weak Solutions and Sharp Entropy Decay for a Poisson-Nernst-Planck System with Interspecies Drag and Steric Effects

Baoli Hao, Fanze Kong, Kei Fong Lam +1

We derive and analyze a binary Poisson-Nernst-Planck system with steric interactions and interspecies drag through the energetic variational approach. The steric effects are incorp…

On a Reversible Gray-Scott Type System from Energetic Variational Approach and Its Irreversible Limit

Jiangyan Liang, Ning Jiang, Chun Liu +2

Most of the previous studies on the well-known Gray-Scott model view it as an irreversible chemical reaction system. In this paper, we derive a four-species reaction-diffusion syst…

Well-Posedness for the Reaction-Diffusion Equation with Temperature in a critical Besov Space

Chun Liu, Jan-Eric Sulzbach

We derive a model for the non-isothermal reaction-diffusion equation. Combining ideas from non-equilibrium thermodynamics with the energetic variational approach we obtain a genera…

On second-order and fourth-order elliptic systems consisting of bulk and surface PDEs: Well-posedness, regularity theory and eigenvalue problems

Patrik Knopf, Chun Liu

In this paper, we study second-order and fourth-order elliptic problems which include not only a Poisson equation in the bulk but also an inhomogeneous Laplace--Beltrami equation o…

The Brinkman-Fourier System with Ideal Gas Equilibrium

Chun Liu, Jan-Eric Sulzbach

In this work, we will introduce a general framework to derive the thermodynamics of a fluid mechanical system, which guarantees the consistence between the energetic variational ap…

Phase-field dynamics with transfer of materials: The Cahn--Hilliard equation with reaction rate dependent dynamic boundary conditions

Patrik Knopf, Kei Fong Lam, Chun Liu +1

The Cahn--Hilliard equation is one of the most common models to describe phase separation processes of a mixture of two materials. For a better description of short-range interacti…

Global Existence of the Non-isothermal Poisson-Nernst-Planck-Fourier System

Chia-Yu Hsieh, Tai-Chia Lin, Chun Liu +1

In this paper, we consider a non-isothermal electrokinetic model, which is derived from the Energetic Variational Approach. The charge transport is described through the Poisson-Ne…

Analysis of the energy dissipation laws in multi-component phase field models

Arkadz Kirshtein, James Brannick, Chun Liu

In this paper, two approaches for modeling three-component fluid flows using diffusive interface method are discussed. Thermodynamic consistency of the proposed models is preserved…

Non-isothermal general Ericksen-Leslie system: derivation, analysis and thermodynamics-consistency

Francesco De Anna, Chun Liu

We derive a model describing the evolution of a nematic liquid-crystal material under the action of thermal effects. The first and second laws of thermodynamics lead to an extensio…

An Energetic Variational Approach for the Cahn--Hilliard Equation with Dynamic Boundary Condition: Model Derivation and Mathematical Analysis

Chun Liu, Hao Wu

The Cahn--Hilliard equation is a fundamental model that describes phase separation processes of binary mixtures. In recent years, several types of dynamic boundary conditions have…
