Abstract:

In this paper we consider the nonstationary 1D flow of the compressible viscous and heat-conducting micropolar fluid, assuming that it is in the thermodynamically sense perfect and polytropic. The fluid is between a static solid wall and a free boundary connected to a vacuum state. We take the homogeneous boundary conditions for velocity, microrotation and heat flux on the solid border and that the normal stress, heat flux and microrotation are equal to zero on the free boundary. The proof of the global existence of the solution is based on a limit procedure. We define the finite difference approximate equations system and construct the sequence of approximate solutions that converges to the solution of our problem globally in time.

Key words: micropolar fluid flow, initial-boundary value problem, free boundary, finite difference approximations, strong and weak convergence
