Description
We are interested in the interaction of a viscous incompressible fluid with an elastic structure, where the structure is located on a part of the fluid boundary. It reacts to the surface forces induced by the fluid and deforms the reference domain
We first study the 2D visco-elastic shell interacts with 3D Navier-Stokes equations. Especially in a general reference geometry (the shell deforms along the normal direction of the flexible boundary), we prove a counterpart of the classical Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin condition yielding conditional regularity and uniqueness of a solution. This requires additionally the deformation of the shell is Lipschitz continuous.
Then we consider a 1D perfectly elastic plate, deforming vertically in flat case, interacts with 2D Navier-Stokes equations, which thereby gives a hyperbolic evolution. We show the new regularity result for this parabolic-hyperbolic coupled system. It turns out that the ”parabolic effect” of the fluid suffices to regularize the solution to the coupled fluid-structure system which is previously known for the Navier-Stokes equations in fixed domains.
This is based on joint work with D. Breit (Clausthal), P. Mensah (Clausthal) and S. Schwarzacher (Uppsala).
