Asymptotic problems and Well-posedness results in Fluid Mechanics and Plasma Physics

本项目将继续研究流体力学、气体动力学和等离子体物理中的一些渐近问题，以及研究自由边界问题和非牛顿流体中的一些适定性问题。 当一个无量纲参数（如雷诺数或电子热速度与光速之比）趋于零或无穷大时，就会出现这些渐近问题。 在研究这些问题时，出现了许多数学困难。 这些困难主要是 由于方程类型的变化，许多时间和空间尺度的存在，共振的存在，边界层的存在，…. 许多工具已被开发，以规避这些困难，如引进不同类型的措施来描述缺陷的强收敛，使用补偿紧凑型参数，使用平均引理，使用能量方法和相对熵方法，. . 在这项工作中将开发新的工具。这些问题的研究对于更好地理解复杂系统在不同极限情况下的行为具有重要意义。这也允许更好地理解发生的真实的物理现象。 它也给出了一个更好的知识域的有效性，每个简化模型。这对于工程师和物理学家来说是非常重要的，他们正在寻找最简单的模型来捕捉现象，以数字方式实现或应用于真实的生活中。 这些问题之一是流体动力学极限的玻尔兹曼方程时，克努森数为0，特别是在有界域。 形式上，极限方程（欧拉系统，Navier-Stokes，.）取决于附加参数，如马赫数、雷诺数和时间标度。 特别是，该项目的目标之一是从动力学中理解流体边界条件。这是理解流体方程和动力学方程之间的边界耦合的一个步骤。 当然，这是一个非常重要的问题，数值模拟时，我们必须从一个域，其中一个动力学模型正在使用的域，其中一个流体模型正在使用。 此外，本项目的另一个目标是研究一些非牛顿流体，特别是聚合物液体（例如鸡蛋白色，血液或面团）。 这些系统需要流体和聚合物之间的耦合，并且在应用物理、化学和生物学的许多分支中具有极大的兴趣。

This project is to continue working on some asymptotic problems in Fluid Mechanics, Gas Dynamics and Plasma physics, as well as to study some well-posedness questions arising in free boundary problems and non-Newtonian fluids. These asymptotic problems arise when a dimensionless parameter (such as the Reynolds number or the ratio between the electron thermal speed and the speed of light) goes to zero or to infinity. In studying these problems, many mathematical difficulties arise. These difficulties are mainly due to the change of the type of the equations, the presence of many temporal and spatial scales, the presence of resonances, the presence of boundary layers, ... . Many tools have been developed to circumvent these difficulties such as the introduction of different types of measures to describe the defect of strong convergence, the use of compensated compactness type arguments, the use of averaging lemma, the use of energy methods and relative entropy methods, ... . New tools will be developed in this work. Hopefully, they can be applied to other areas of mathematics.The study of these problems is very important to get a better understanding about the behavior of complicated systems in different limiting cases. This also allows an improved understanding of the real physical phenomena taking place. It also gives a better knowledge about the domain of validity of each simplifying model. This is very important for engineers and physicists who are looking for the simplest model that captures the phenomena to implement numerically or to apply in real life. One of these problems is the hydrodynamic limit of the Boltzmann equation when the Knudsen number goes to 0 especially in bounded domains. Formally, the limit equation (Euler system, Navier-Stokes, ...) depends on additional parameters such as the Mach number, the Reynolds number and the time scaling. In particular, one of the goals of the project is to understand fluid boundary conditions from kinetic ones. This is a step towards understanding the coupling at the boundary between fluid equations and kinetic equations. Of course this is a very important question for numerical simulations when we have to go from a domain where a kinetic model is being used to a domain where a fluid model is being used. Besides, another goal of this project is the study of some non-Newtonian fluids and especially polymeric liquids (egg white, blood or dough for example). These systems require a coupling between fluids and polymers and are of great interest in many branches of applied physics, chemistry and biology.
