A Penalty Method For Approximations Of The Stationary Power-Law Stokes Problem, Lew Lefton, Dongming Wei
Mathematics Faculty Publications
We study approximations of the steady state Stokes problem governed by the power-law model for viscous incompressible non-Newtonian flow using the penalty formulation. We establish convergence and find error estimates

Decay Estimates Of Heat Transfer To Melton Polymer Flow In Pipes With Viscous Dissipation, Dongming Wei, Zhenbu Zhang

In this work, we compare a parabolic equation with an elliptic equation both of which are used in modeling temperature profile of a power-law polymer flow in a semi-infinite straight pipe with circular cross section. We show that both models are well-posed and we derive exponential rates of convergence of the two solutions to the same steady state solution away from the entrance. We also show estimates for difference between the two solutions in terms of physical data.
