| Guidelines |
| The key theme of this thesis is the mathematical analysis, i.e. the proof of existence, uniqueness and regularity of solutions, for models describing fluids, solids or their interactions that show complex behavior. These models are either phrased as systems of partial differential equations or as variational problems of energy functionals. The research in this thesis is guided by the long-term goal to be able to provide well-possedness for models of fluid-structure interaction of a general (e.g. compressible, heat-conducting) fluid with a non-linear solid that can undergo large deformations. Such interactions appear in many research areas which range from biomedicine (blood flow in vessels, artificial heart valves, windpipes, airway closure in lungs) to geophysics (underground flows, hydraulic fracturing, dynamics of magnetic intrusions ) and industrial applications (aero-elasticity, offshore structures, etc.)
To reach the long-term goal outlined above, further insight into the analysis of models describing fluids, and solids as well as the study of simplified situations in fluid-structure interaction are necessary. Within this thesis, among the possible research directions we propose studying the fluid-structure interaction of a quite general fluid (compressible, magnetic, heat-conducting) with a very simplified behavior of the solid structure (e.g. rigid body, simple elastic-shell structure). Here, the aim is to generalize works [Fe], [CMN], [BrS]. Another direction is the study of the solid material alone, in order to assure injectivity of the obtained solutions, which is needed in fluid-structure interaction problems. This is a notoriously difficult problem even in the sationary case (see [Ball02]), however more information can be obtained if higher-gradient regularizations are included into the model (e.g. [BKS]). Studying these in the evolutionary case seems to be a prospective way to obtain analytical results in elastodynamics, where only a few results are available (e.g. [DST1], [DST2]) and could eventually be used in fluid-structure interaction. This thesis is perfomed in cooperation ("cotutelle de these") between Charles University and University of Würzburg (guided by Prof. Dr. Anja Schlömerkemper). On the Prague side it is supported by the PRIMUS and GAČR (GA19-U707Y) grants of S. Schwarzacher and is thus embedded into reserach groups on fluid-structure interactions both at the Department of Mathematical Analysis, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles Univeristy as well as the Mathematical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences. |
