Source-type Solutions of the Heat Equation with Nonlinear Convection in n-space Dimensions
In this paper we study the existence or nonexistence of a source-type solution for the heat equation with nonlinear convection: ut = ∆u+~b ·∇u , (x, t) ∈ ST = IR N × (0, T ], u(x, 0) = δ(x), x ∈ IR , where δ(x) denotes Dirac-delta measure in IR , N ≥ 2, n ≥ 0 and ~b = (b1, · · · , bN) ∈ IR N is a constant vector. It is shown that there exists a critical number pc = N+2 N such that the source-type solution to the above problem exists and is unique if 0 ≤ n < pc, while such solution does not exist if n ≥ pc. Moreover, the asymptotic behavior of the solution near origin, when it exists, is derived. It is shown that the source-type solution near the origin has the same behavior as that for the heat equation without convection if 0 ≤ n < N+1 N .
Existence result for a strongly coupled problem with heat convection term and Tresca's law
We study a problem describing the motion of an incompressible, nonisothermal and non-Newtonian uid, taking into account the heat convection term. The novelty here is that uid viscosity depends on the temperature, the velocity of the uid, and also of the deformation tensor, but not explicitly. The boundary conditions take into account the slip phenomenon on a part of the boundary of the domain. By using the notion of pseudo-monotone operators and xed point Theorem we prove an existence result of its weak solution.
