Unsteady micropolar fluid flow in a thin domain with Tresca fluid-solid interface law

摘要

We consider a micropolar fluid flow in a two-dimensional domain. We assume that the velocity field satisfies a non-linear slip boundary condition of friction type on a part of the boundary while the micro-rotation field satisfies non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a solution. Then motivated by lubrication problems we assume that the thickness and the roughness of the domain are of order 0 epsilon 1 and we study the asymptotic behaviour of the flow as e tends to zero. By using the two-scale convergence technique we derive the limit problem which is totally decoupled for the limit velocity and pressure (upsilon(0), p(0)) on one hand and the limit micro-rotation Z(0) on the other hand. Moreover we prove that upsilon(0), p(0) and Z(0) are uniquely determined via auxiliary well-posed problems. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
