Justification of lubrication approximation: An application to fluid/solid interactions
Matthieu Hillairet, Takfarinas Kelaï · Asymptotic Analysis · 2015
We consider the stationary Stokes problem in a three-dimensional fluid domain F with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We assume that this fluid domain is the complement of a bounded obstacle B in a bounded or an exterior smooth container Ω . We compute sharp asymptotics of the solution to the Stokes problem when the distance between the obstacle and the container boundary is small.
