Title

:

MATHEMATICAL MODELLING IN HEMODYNAMICS II
Abstract :

On the existence and uniqueness of non-Newtonian shear dependent flow in compliant vessel

Abstract 2

We show the generalization of previous existence and uniqueness result for Navier-Stokes equation in time-dependent domain, based on energy method and global iterative approach for decoupling the flow and deformation problem. We consider here the power law viscosity model describing shear-dependent non-Newtonian fluids. We explain new techniques for additional non-linear viscous term, based on monotonous behaviour of corresponding viscous operator. After proving the existence of weak
solution on a domain with known deformation η= ηk, the convergence of iterative process with respect to the domain deformation can be shown for a special case of coefficients in the deformation equation.
