On operator semigroups arising in the study of incompressible viscous fluid flows

Author(s):

This article concentrates on various operator semigroups arising in the study of viscous and incompressible flows. Of particular concern are the classical Stokes semigroup, the hydrostatic Stokes semigroup, the Oldroyd as well as the Ericksen–Leslie semigroup. Besides their intrinsic interest, the properties of these semigroups play an important role in the investigation of the associated nonlinear equations. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Semigroup applications everywhere’.

Abstract In order to validate a computational method for solving viscous fluid flows, experiments are carried out in an eccentric cylindrical cavity showing various flow formations over a range of Reynolds numbers. Especially, in numerical solution approaches for isothermal and incompressible flows, we search for simple experimental data for evaluating accuracy as well as performance of the computational method. Verification of different computational methods is arduous, and analytic solutions are only obtained for simple geometries like a channel flow. Clearly, a method is expected to predict different flow patterns within a cavity. Thus, we propose a configuration generating different flow formations depending on the Reynolds number and make the experimental results freely available in order to be used as an assessment criterion to demonstrate the reliability of a new computational approach.
