Title: Macroscopic systems with maximum packing constraint

 

Abstract:

This talk addresses the mathematical analysis of fluid models including a maximum packing constraint. These equations arise naturally for instance in the modeling of mixtures like suspensions. I will present recent results on two classes of PDEs systems which correspond to two modeling approaches: the “soft” approach based on compressible equations with singular constitutive laws (pressure and/or viscosities) close to the maximal constraint; and the “hard” approach based on a free boundary problem between a congested domain with incompressible dynamics and a free domain with compressible dynamics.
