Dissipative Solutions to a Compressible Non-Newtonian Korteweg System with Density-Dependent Viscous Stress Tensor
Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to prove that if capillarity effect is taken into account then there exist dissipative solutions to a system describing viscoplastic compressible flows with density dependent viscosities in a periodic domain $\T^d$ with $d=2,3$. We calculate the relative entropy inequality and in consequence show existence of dissipative solutions and the weak-strong uniqueness for this system. Our result extends the recent result concerning the link between Euler--Korteweg and Navier--Stokes--Korteweg systems for Newtonian flows (when the viscosity depends on the density) [See D.~Bresch, M. Gisclon, I. Lacroix-Violet, {\it Arch. Rational Mech. Anal.} (2019)] to non-Newtonian flows.
