Introduction In the present study, we propose an existence and uniqueness theorem for the solution of a bidimensional nonlinear problem of uid–structure coupling as well a method of numerical resolution. If u; w and p represent the displacement within the structure, the velocity and the pressure in the uid, respectively, the problem (P) to be studied is the following: Fluid equations:

with Qp = p ×]0; T [; Qf = f ×]0; T [ where p is an open domain of R and f is an open domain of R2 simply connected with boundary = f ∪ p of class C 1; 1 . We classically denote by v the viscosity of the uid. In a previous study we determined the existence conditions of the linearized problem (P). This last study was carried out in order to point out the problems inherent to the coupling which arise in particular from the meaning given to the trace of p −  div w in the plate equation. Here, the nonlinearity of the momentum equation accentuates these diculties and requires the introduction of smoothness results. We show that problem (P) admits a xed point such that w · n=−

Sections 1–5 are entirely devoted to the proof of the theorem and in Section 6 we present the implementation of the numerical method. 1. An existence and uniqueness result Let us begin by providing several elements necessary to state the theorem. We consider the following functional space W = {w ∈ H 1 ( f )2 ; w · n = 0 on

f}

which we can decompose in the following manner [15]: W = V + W˜ with V = {v = grad h; h ∈ H 2 ( f ); grad h · n = 0 on

} ⊕ Rot(H 2 ( f ) ∩ H01 ( f ))

and ˜ grad h˜ · n = 0 on ˜ h˜ ∈ H 2 ( f ); h˜ = h; W˜ = {w˜ = grad h;

f }:

Thus, all functions of W are represented in the following unique manner: ˜ w = v + w˜ = vq + vh + w˜ = Curl q + grad h + grad h; where q; h are the solutions to the following scalar problems:  q = curl vq in f ; (Q) q=0 on and

In order to mute the problem (F) homogeneous, we then introduce the function hg such that  hg; t − hg = 0 in Qf ;      grad hg · n = 0 on f ×]0; T [; (R)  grad hg · n = g ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) on Qp ;     hg (0) = 0 in f : We easily establish that wg = grad hg ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 2; 4 ( f )2 ); div wg ∈ L4 (0; T ; L∞ ( f )); wg · n = g

We note by CS , the imbedding constant of H 1 in L2 , and by CG , Gagliardo– Nirenberg’s optimal constant of inequality kvk2L4 ≤ CG kvkL2 kvkH 1 . Thus, if we consider the real numbers  ∈]0; 1[; ¿ 12 CG CS 1 ¿0, 2 ¡ 12 , and the functions f ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 1 ( p ));

we obtain the existence and uniqueness result shown below. Theorem 1.1. Under the conditions (1.1)–(1.8), the trace of p −  div w is de ned in L2 (0; T ; H 3=2 ( )) and the problem (P) admits a unique xed point (w; u) such that w · n = −ut ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p ) ∩ H02 ( p )):

(1.9)

The proof of this theorem is made possible using Kakutani’s xed point theorem. To this end, we prescribe w · n = g ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) and we solve problems (F) and (S). The main diculty is to give a meaning to the trace of p −  div w on p . We will see that problem (P) admits a xed point such that w · n = −ut ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p ) ∩ H02 ( p )) and with this regularity the solution (w; p) of (F) is such that

(p −  div w) ∈ L2 (0; T ; H 3=2 ( )):

2. Study of problem (F) By using the orthogonal decomposition introduced in the previous section, Eq. (I) are transformed in order to obtain a homogeneous problem denoted as (Fh ). By setting w = v + wg , we obtain the following problem (Fh )  vt + 12 ∇w 2 + curl v (v + wg ) − v + ∇p = 0      pt + div v = −div wg in Qf ;     v · n = 0 on ;  curl v = 0 on ;      v(t = 0) = w0 − wg (t = 0) = v0 in f ;    p(t = 0) = p0 in f :

in Qf ;

The problem (Fh ) is then solved using the following weak formulation (VFh ): Find (v; p) ∈ L∞ (0; T ; L 2 ( f ) 2 ) ∩ L 2 (0; T ; V ) × L∞ (0; T ; L 2 ( f )) such that    (vt ; ’)f − 12 (v 2 ; div ’)f − (vwg ; div ’)f + (curl v (v); ’)f     +(rot v (wg ); ’)f +  a(v; ’) − (p; div ’)f = 12 (wg2 ; div ’)f     v(t = 0) = v0 ;  (    (pt ; )f + (div v; )f = −(div wg ; )f ∀ ∈ L2 ( f )     p(t = 0) = p ; 0

If v0 ∈ L2 ( f ) 2 and p0 ∈ L 2 ( f ) then we obtain Theorem 2.1. If Eqs. (1.7) and (1.8) hold and if g ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 1=2 ( p )); then the problem (VFh ) admits a unique solution such that (v; p) ∈ L2 (0; T ; V ) ∩ L 2 (0; T ; L∞ ( f ) 2 ) × L∞ (0; T ; L∞ ( f )); in addition; the solution is such that kv(t)kL∞ (0; T ; L 2 ( f ) 2 ) ≤ 2 kvkL22 (0; T ; V ) ≤ 2

For the proof of this theorem, we refer to the results developed in [12]. It should be noted that the main diculty in obtaining an estimate is in the estimation of the following term 1 2 (v ; div v)f ; 2 which is not necessarily bounded. To overcome this diculty we must build a stability space. These results show that w = v + wg ∈ L 2 (0; T ; W ) and that p ∈ L∞ (0; T ; L 2 ( f )) and with this regularity we are unable to give a meaning to the trace of p −  div w in the plate equation. We therefore introduce a series of smoothness results in Section 3 which will allow us, based on several additional assumptions, to prove that (p −  div w) has a meaning in L 2 (0; T ; H 3=2 ( )). This result is sucient to solve the plate equation.

The projection for the scalar product of L 2 ( f ) 2 in the momentum equation on the eld of rotational vectors allows us to write vq; t −  Rot rot vq + P(rot vq (w)) = 0; where P is the projection operator on the subspace of the rotational eld vectors. In the same way, the projection onto the eld of gradient vectors leads to ! vq2 (h + hg ) 2 ∇ ht − h + + vq ∇(h + hg ) + +  + p = 0; 2 2

with  such that ∇ represents the projection, for the scalar product L 2 ( f ) 2 , of curl vq (w) on the eld gradient vectors and  a function which is only dependent on time. We will now give some results dealing with the regularity of vq and . Lemma 3.1. If we assume that w0 ∈ H 1 ( f ) 2 ; then vq ∈ L 4 (0; T ; W 1; 4 ( f ) 2 ) ∩ L∞ (0; T ; H 1 ( f ) 2 );

(3.2)

vq; t ∈ L 2 (Qf ):

(3.3)

If; in addition w0 ∈ H 2 ( f ) 2 and wh; t = ∇˜t ∈ L 2 (Qf ); we obtain vq; t ∈ L∞ (0; T ; L 2 ( f ) 2 );

curl vq; t ∈ L 2 (Qf );

(3.5)

vq ∈ W 1; 4 (Qf ):

(3.6)

curl vq ∈ L 4 (0; T ; L∞ ( f ) 2 ):

3.2. Smoothness of w and P The diculty in the following estimates is determining the proper smoothness for g. Indeed, this smoothness must permit the obtention of estimates which allow a meaning to be given to the trace of p −  div w. We present here only the obtention of a priori estimates as the passage to the limit is of no great diculty. Let us introduce a rst lemma on the smoothness of . Lemma 3.3.

w, however, is bounded into L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ), therefore, by applying Gronwall’s lemma to kht (t)kL∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )) we obtain kht (t)kL∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )) ≤ C and, subsequently k∇ht k2L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) ≤ C: Therefore ht ∈ L4 (Qf ) and as hg; t ∈ L4 (Qf ) then ˜t ∈ L4 (Qf ). By multiplying the continuity equation by 4|p|2 p we deduce dp4 + 4˜ · |p|2 p = 0: dt As a result, by expressing ˜ using Eq. (3.1), we obtain dp4 + 4p4 = −4˜t · |p|2 p − 2w2 · |p|2 p − 4 · |p|2 p + 4 · |p|2 p: (3.18) dt Then, by integrating Eq. (3.18) with respect to Qf , we get the following estimate:

Eq. (3.16) remains to be proven. It has been shown in [3] that h ∈ L4 (Qf ) if ht ∈ L4 (Qf ). In addition, if g ∈ H 1 (0; T ; W 1=2; 4 ( p )) then wg ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 2 ( f )) and as the embedding of H 2 ( f ) is compact in W 1; 4 ( f ) in dimension 2, we obtain div wg = hg ∈ H 1 (0; T ; L4 ( f )). So ˜ = (h + hg ) ∈ L4 (Qf ). As a continuation of the proof, we will now present a regularity and fundamental trace result. Lemma 3.5. Under the assumptions of Lemma 3.4, we have p ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 1 ( f )):

(3.20)

Proof. By multiplying the momentum equation by ∇div vh and by integrating with respect to Qf , we obtain 1 1 kdiv vh (t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )) + k∇vh k2L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) + k∇p(t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) 2 2 Z Z Z tZ Z tZ 1 t + ∇p∇div wg − ∇w2 vh − curl vq (w)vh 2 0 f

Let us show that curl vq (w) is bounded into L2 (Qf ). To this end we observe that vq ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 1; 4 ( f )2 ) ⇒ rot vq ∈ L4 (Qf ) and that vq ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 1; 4 ( f )3 ) wh = ∇˜ ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 1; 4 ( f )3 )

) ⇒ w ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 1; 4 ( f )2 ):

As a result kcurl vq (w)k2L2 (Qf ) ≤ kcurl vq k2L4 (Qf ) k (w)k2L4 (Qf ) ≤ C: In the same way, as w ∈ L4 (0; T ; w1; 4 ( f )2 ) we prove that ∇w2 is bounded into L (Qf ) and, consequently, that 2

Finally, since the solution of problem (R) satis es kdiv wg (t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )) + kwg k2L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) ≤ C(1 + kgt k2L2 (0; T ; H 1=2 ( p )) ) (3.22) we obtain Z tZ 0

∇p∇ div wg ≤ k∇p(t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) + C(1 + kgt k2L2 (0; T ; H 1=2 ( p )) ):

(3.23)

Consequently, if  is small enough, then Eq. (3.21) becomes kdiv vh (t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )) + kvh k2L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) +k∇p(t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) ≤ C(1 + kgt k2L2 (0; T ; H 1=2 ( p )) ):

(3.24)

However, by adding the inequalities (3.22), (3.24) and if we recall that pt = −div vh − div wg , then we easily prove that kpt (t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )) + k∇pt k2L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) +k∇p(t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) ≤ C(1 + kgt k2L2 (0; T ; H 1=2 ( p )) ):

(3.25)

In addition, thanks to Theorem 2.1 we know that p ∈ L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )). As a result, the inequality (3.25) shows that p ∈ L∞ (0; T ; H 1 ( f )) and that pt ∈ L2 (0; T ; H 1 ( f )) which leads to Eq. (3.20). Also, by using the continuity equation, this result demonstrates that div wh ∈ L2 (0; T ; H 1 ( f )) and that the trace of p −  div wh has a meaning in L2 (0; T ; H 1=2 ( )). Lemma 3.6. If w0 ∈ H 2 ( f ) 2 and if g ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 1=2 ( p )); then we obtain vh; t ∈ L4 (Qf ):

(3.26)

Proof. Let us di erentiate Eq. (3.1) with respect to time, multiply it by vh; t and integrate it with respect to Qf . We obtain 1 kvh; t k2L∞ (0;T ; L2 ( f ) 2 ) + kdiv vh; t k2L2 (0;T ; L2 ( f )) 2 Z tZ Z tZ Z tZ 1 = kvh; t (0)k2f + wwt div vh; t − ∇t vh; t + pt div vh; t : 2

(3.30)

(3.35)

as w ∈ L∞ (0; T ; L4 ( f ) 2 ) we can apply Gronwall’s lemma to kvh; t (t)k2L2 ( f ) 2 . In this way, we obtain kvh; t k2L∞ (0;T ; L2 ( f ) 2 ) ≤ C and consequently, kdiv vh; t k2L2 (0;T ; L2 ( f ) 2 ) ≤ C which shows that vh; t ∈ L4 (Qf ). Lemma 3.7. If p0 ∈ W 1; 4 ( f ) and if g ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) then vh ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 2; 4 ( f )):

(3.36)

Proof. Let us apply the operator ∇ to the mass equation and multiply it by 4∇p|∇p|2 . By integrating with respect to f , we obtain 1 1 d k∇pk4L4 ≤ kvh |4L4 + kwg k4L4 + 2k∇pk4L4 : dt  

(3.37)

575

It should be noted that if g ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) then wg ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 2; 4 ( f ) 2 ). As a result Eq. (3.37) becomes d 1 k∇pk4L4 ≤ C + kvh k4L4 + 2k∇pk4L4 : dt 

(3.38)

Let us provide an estimate of vh . To this end, the momentum equation is multiplied by 4vh |vh |2 and integrated on f . 1 kvh k4L4 ≤ (kvh; t k4L4 + k∇w2 k4L4 + k∇k4L4 + k∇pk4L4 ) + 4kvh k4L4 : 

(3.39)

First, we recall that div vh and vh; t ∈ L4 (Qf ); thus vh ∈ W 1; 4 (Qf ):

(3.40)

Moreover, we have wg ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 2; 4 ( f ) 2 );

vq ∈ W 1; 4 (Qf );

which imply that w = vq + wh = vq + vh + wg ∈ W 1; 4 (Qf ): Using Sobolev’s inequality we obtain ∇w2 ∈ W 1; 4 (Qf ) and then ∇w2 ∈ L4 (Qf ):

(3.41)

In addition, using inequality (3.35) we have vh ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 1 ( f ) 2 ); moreover vq ∈ L∞ (0; T ; H 1 ( f ) 2 ) and wg ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 1 ( f ) 2 ), thus w ∈ L∞ (0; T ; H 1 ( f ) 2 ): Finally, as curl vq ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 1; 4 ( f ) 2 ) we deduce that ∇ ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 1; 4=3 ( f ) 2 ) ⊂ L4 (Qf ):

(3.42)

Then, if  in (3.39) is small enough, these estimates show that kvh k4L4 ≤ C(1 + k∇pk4L4 ):

(3.43)

By combining Eqs. (3.38) and (3.43) we obtain d k∇pk4L4 ≤ C1 + C2 k∇pk4L4 dt

(3.44)

and as p0 ∈ W 1; 4 ( f ); we arrive at k∇pk4L∞ (0;T ; L4 ( f ) 2 ) ≤ C;

(3.45)

so by Eq. (3.43), vh ∈ L4 (Qf ). Finally, we have vh ∈ L4 (Qf ); vh ∈ L4 (Qf ) and vh · n = 0 which implies that vh ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 2; 4 ( f ) 2 ).

(p −  div w) ∈ L2 (0; T ; H 3=2 ( p )):

but w ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 2; 4 ( f )2 ) and curl vq ∈ L4 (0; T ; W 1; 4 ( f )), therefore w2 ∈ L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f ));

div(curl vq (w)) ∈ L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )):

(3.55)

578

F. Flori, P. Orenga / Nonlinear Analysis 35 (1999) 561 – 587

As vq , vh and wg belong to L4 (0; T ; W 2; 4 ( f )2 ), then ∇w2 and ∇ belong to L2 (0; T ; H 1 ( f )2 ). Moreover, using Eq. (3.55), we have div wh; t = div vh; t + div wg; t ∈ L2 (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) and so 1 ∇(p −  div wh ) = − wh; t − ∇w2 − ∇ ∈ L2 (0; T ; H 1 ( f )2 ): 2 Consequently, (p −  div v) is well de ned in L2 (0; T ; H 3=2 ( )). 4. Study of Problem (S) We search the displacement under the following form: u=

i=1 2 2 in which { i }∞ i=1 is an orthonormal basis of L ( p ) and H0 ( p ) associated with the spectral problem  2  = 2 in p ; = ∇ · n = 0 on @ p :

In the following paragraph, we provide the estimate of u necessary to the proof of Theorem 1.1. Lemma 4.1. Under the assumption (p− div v)∈ L2 (0; T ; H 3=2 ( )) and if u1 ∈H 3 ( p ), f ∈ L2 (0; T ; H 2 ( p )), we obtain kut k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) + k∇ut k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )2 ) + k2 uk2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) ≤ C:

(4.1)

Proof. By applying the ∇ operator to the plate equation, multiplying by ∇ut and integrating on Qp , we obtain kut k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) + k∇ut k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )2 ) + k2 uk2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) Z Z − ∇utt · nut − 2 u∇ut · n = kut (0)k2p + k∇ut (0)k2p

If u0 ∈ H 4 ( p ), p0 ∈ H 1 ( f ), wh0 ∈ H 2 ( f )2 and f ∈ H 1 (0; T ; H 2 ( p )) then we obtain k∇utt k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) + kutt k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) ≤ C(1 + kgk2w1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2;1 ( p )) ):

(4.5)

Proof. Let us di erentiate the plate equation with respect to time and multiply it by utt . After integrating on Qp , we obtain k∇utt k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) + kutt k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) Z =

(4.9)

But, by using Eqs. (3.25), (3.46) and (4.1) we deduce kp(t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) ≤ Ckpk2H 1 (0; T ; H 1 ( f )) ≤ C(1 + kgk2W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) ); kdiv wh (t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) ≤ Ckwh (t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( f )2 ) ≤ C; k2 u(t)k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) ≤ C: Therefore, if  is suciently small, we obtain k∇u tt k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) + ku tt k2L∞ (0; T ; L2 ( p )) ≤ C(1 + kgk2W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) ) which achieves the proof. 5. Proof of the Theorem We apply here Kakutani’s theorem. To this end we note that W 1; 4 (0; T ; H02 ( p )) ⊂ E = W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) algebraically and topologically, hence (4.5) involves ku tt kL4 (0; T ;W 3=2; 4 ( p )) ≤ C 0 ku tt kL4 (0; T ; H02 ( p )) ≤ TC 00 (1 + kgkW 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p )) ): Thus, we can de ne the following map:  : g ∈ E → u t ∈ E: Then, if the value of T is small enough and if kgkE ≤ K with K being well chosen, the map  applies the ball B(0; K) of E with center 0 and radius K within itself. That is to say (B(0; K)) ⊂ B(0; K):

F. Flori, P. Orenga / Nonlinear Analysis 35 (1999) 561 – 587

581

Now, we recall that E is a re exive and separable banach space. Consequently, B(0; K) is metrisable for the weak topology and, nally, compact for this same topology. We are therefore able to work with ordinary sequences. We will prove that if we consider gn as a weak convergent sequence towards g in B(0; K) and such that weakly

un; t = (gn ) −→ t then t = (g) = u t . If (wn ; pn ) is a solution associated to (F) with w(0) = wn (0) and p(0) = pn (0), then (wn ; pn ) satis es the estimates for Lemmas 3.1 – 3.8 and (pn −  div wn ) weakly converges towards a limit ! in L2 (0; T ; H 3=2 ( )). As problem (F) allows only one solution, then ! = (p −  div w). As a result, for the problem (S) we have (un; tt ; )p + (∇un; tt ; ∇ )p + (un ;  )p = −(pn −  div wn ; )p + (fn ; )p which converges weakly towards ( n ; )p + (∇ tt ; ∇ )p + ( ;  )p = −(p −  div w; )p + (f; )p = (H; )p weakly

when gn −→ g in B(0; K). Finally, as problem (S) has only one solution for a given H , then is the unique solution associated to (S) and, hence, t = u t . This last result shows that we have a unique xed point and that w ·n = −u t on p in W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p ) ∩ H02 ( p )). We have shown the existence for a small time but this result can be extended for all time thanks to the a priori estimates. 6. Numerical implementation 6.1. Approximate solutions In order to facilitate the numerical implementation, we state p = ]0; 1[ and f = p ×]0; 1[. Due to this simpli ed study domain, resolving the spectral problems de ned in Section 3 provides an analytical basis for V orthonormalized in L2 ( f )2 . To obtain a basis for W˜ we solve the problem  ˜ ˜ in Qf ;   hl = hl  ˜ (H) grad h˜ l · n = 0 on f × ]0; T [;    grad h˜ l · n = l on f × ]0; T [; 2 in which { l }∞ l=1 is the basis of H0 ( p ) associated with the movement of the plate. To this end, we use the nite elements method and the MODULEF software. The element utilized is the 2P3D, which is an Hermite type element with three degrees of freedom. This element allows us to obtain, in addition to the solution to prob˜ the numerical values of its primary x and y derivatives. Thanks to this lem (H),

and it is clear that the system is over-determined. To overcome this diculty and, as was seen in the existence Theorem 1.1, we introduce an algorithm based on xed point method. 6.3. Algorithm We set g ∈ W 1; 4 (0; T ; W 3=2; 4 ( p ) ∩ H02 ( p )) and we work on the time-step [tn−1 ; tn ]. Given the solution at tn−1 , we solve (R) using an implicit Euler scheme. Once cl (tn ) are known, we solve the homogeneous (FH) problem using a Neumark type scheme by proceeding with i implicit iterations in such a way as to approach the nonlinear term. By using the same Neumark scheme, we can solve the plate problem (S). The solution to (S) being known, we bring g(tn ) = −ut (tn ) to the problem (R). We reiterate the process k times until convergence of u(tn ) towards a xed point. Finally, if at the kth iteration we note R[ck (tn )] = KG (gk (tn )];

with m, D and I the surfacic mass, the rigidity and the inertia moment of the plate, respectively. We test the algorithm for two points taken in the uid (x = 0:05; y = 0:003285) and on the plate (x = 0:05; y = 0:0). Below are represented some results obtained with the method for these values. Fig. 2 makes the comparison between the analytical and the numerical solutions. Figs. 3 and 4 present the relative and absolute errors for hg (x; y; t) and u(x; t). The decrease in the precision of the results over time is due to the form of the solution which approaches 0 when t increases. All in all, however, this method seems to provide encouraging results despite its numerically demand aspects.
