A one-dimensional model for suspension flows
We will present in this talk a mathematical model for a mixture composed by solid particles immersed in a viscous liquid. In a dense regime (high concentration of solid particles), the lubrication effects are predominant in the dynamics. Our goal is to study mathematically a minimal effective model, based on compressible Navier-Stokes equations, which take into account lubrication effects via a singular dissipation term. We will also consider the regime where the viscosity of the interstitial fluid tends to 0.
