The purpose of this paper is to provide global existence and uniqueness results for a family of fluid transport equations by establishing convergence results for the particle method applied to these equations. The considered family of PDEs is a collection of strongly nonlinear equations which yield traveling wave solutions and can be used to model a variety of flows in fluid dynamics. We apply a particle method to the studied evolutionary equations and provide a new self-contained method for proving its convergence. The latter is accomplished by using the concept of space-time bounded variation and the associated compactness properties. From this result, we prove the existence of a unique global weak solution in some special cases and obtain stronger regularity properties of the solution than previously established.

Using the convex integration technique for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations introduced by T. Buckmaster and V. Vicol, it is shown the existence of non-unique weak solutions for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with fractional hyperviscosity $(-\Delta)^{\theta}$, whenever the exponent $\theta$ is less than J.-L. Lions' exponent $5/4$, i.e., when $\theta < 5/4$.

Abstract The bipolar Navier-Stokes-Poisson system (BNSP) has been used to simulate the transport of charged particles (ions and electrons for instance) under the influence of electrostatic force governed by the self-consistent Poisson equation. The optimal L 2 time convergence rate for the global classical solution is obtained for a small initial perturbation of the constant equilibrium state. It is shown that due to the electric field, the difference of the charge densities tend to the equilibrium states at the optimal rate (1+ t)-3 4 in L 2-norm, while the individual momentum of the charged particles converges at the optimal rate (1+ t)-1 4 which is slower than the rate (1+ t)-3 4 for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations (NS). In addition, a new phenomenon on the charge transport is observed regarding the interplay between the two carriers that almost counteracts the influence of the electric field so that the total density and

We characterize quasiconformal mappings as those homeomorphisms between two metric measure spaces of locally bounded geometry that preserve a class of quasiminimizers. We also consider quasiconformal mappings and densities in metric spaces and give a characterization of quasiconformal mappings in terms of the uniform density property introduced by Gehring and Kelly.

This note studies the Monge-Ampère Keller–Segel equation in a periodic domain , a fully nonlinear modification of the Keller–Segel equation where the Monge-Ampère equation substitutes for the usual Poisson equation . The existence of global weak solutions is obtained for this modified equation. Moreover, we prove the regularity in for some .
