We study a mean-field model of superconducting vortices in one and two dimensions. The existence of a weak solution and a steady-state solution of the model are proved. A special case of the steady-state problem is shown to be of the form of a free boundary problem. The solutions of this free boundary problem are investigated. It is also shown that the weak solution of the one-dimensional model is unique and satisfies an entropy inequality.

A mean-field model for the motion of rectilinear vortices in the mixed state of a type-II superconductor is formulated. Steady-state solutions for some simple geometries are examined, and a local existence result is proved for an arbitrary smooth geometry. Finally, a variational formulation of the steady-state problem is given which shows the solution to be unique.

This paper is interested in a free boundary problem modelling a phenomenon of cavitation in hydrodynamic lubrication. We reformulate the problem (see Boukrouche, (1993)) in a large context by introducing two positive parameters, namely, N0 and a. We build a weak formulation and establish the existence of the solution to the problem.
