AbstractIn an unbounded 2D channel, we consider the vertical displacement of a rectangular obstacle, modelling the interaction between the cross-section of thedeck of a suspension bridge and the wind. We prove well-posedness for a fluid-structure-interaction evolution problem set in this channel, where at infinitythe velocity field of the fluid has a Poiseuille flow profile. We introduce a suitable definition of weak solutions and we make use of a penalty method.In order to prevent collisions of the obstacle with the boundary of the channel, we introduce a strong force f in the differential equation governing themotion of the rigid body and we find a unique global-in-time solution.

Motivation

Dynamic response:1. one degree and two degrees of freedominstability2. buffeting3. vortex shedding

Idea of the proof: existenceStep 1 Solenoidal extension for the non-homogeneous condition at infinity.Step 2 Reformulation into an equivalentproblem.Step 3 The penalty method.

Step 1: Solenoidal extensionConsider the problem

div z(x) =ζ′(x1)(L2 − x22) inA ∩ 2 < |x1| < 3,z = 0 on ∂A ∩ 2 < |x1| < 3.

with ζ cut-off function. The function

s(x) = λ

[ζ(x1)(L2 − x22)e1 − z(x)

]satisfies the following properties

∇ · s = 0 in Ωh, s = λ(L2 − x22) e1 in Ωh,i.

Moreover s ∈W 1,∞(Ωh) ∩H2loc(Ωh).

Idea of the proof: uniquenessAny two solutions (v1, h1) and (v2, h2) are notdefined on the same domain: the domain of thesolution Ω(t) depends on the solution itself.Idea: Build

ψt : Ω2(t)→ Ω1(t), ϕt = ψ−1t : Ω1(t)→ Ω2(t)

and define the pullback of v2 by such map, w2.For any y = (y1, y2) ∈ Ω1(t):

w2 = ∇ψt(y) · v2(t, ϕt(y)).

Then, one can definev := v1 − w2, h := h1 − h2,

and prove that v = h = 0.

Model and main resultWe study the following two-dimensional fluid-structure-interaction evolution problem

ut = µ∆u− (u · ∇)u−∇p, divu = 0 in Ωh × (0, T )

u = 0 on Γ = R× −L,L, u = h′ e2 on ∂Blim|x1|→∞ u(x1, x2) = λ(L2 − x22) e1

(F )

h′′ + f(h) = −e2 ·∫ST (u, p) · n in (0, T ) (S)

B = [−d, d]× [−δ, δ], Bh = B + he2 ∀ |h| < L− δΩh = R× (−L,L) \Bh = A \Bh.

Main Theorem Assume that |h0| < L− δ and that u0 satisfying

u0(x) = u0(x) + ζ(x1)λ(L2 − x22)e1, with u0(x) ∈ L2(Ωh),

is such that u0 · n|Bh0= h1e2 · n. Then, problem (F)-(S) admits a unique weak solution (u, h), defined

in a suitable sense, for any T <∞. Moreover the energy of (u, h) is bounded.

Step 2: An equivalent problem

We set y = x− h(t) e2, and we denote

v(y, t) = u(y + h(t) e2, t), q(y, t) = p(y + h(t) e2, t), a(y) = ah(y) = s(y + h(t) e2),

Ω(t) = Ωh − h(t)e2, Ah(t) = A− h(t)e2, Γ(t) = Γ− h(t)e2, B = Bh − h(t)e2.

(F)-(S) becomes (F’)-(S’)vt = µ∆v − (v · ∇) v −∇q + (h′e2 · ∇) v div v = 0 in Ω(t)× (0, T )

v = 0 on Γ(t), v = h′e2 on ∂B = S

lim|y1|→∞ v(y) := λ(L2 − (y2 + h(t))2) e1

(F ′)

h′′ + f(h) = −e2 ·∫ST (v, q) · n in (0, T ). (S′)

We look for solutions to the problem (F’)-(S’) of the form

v = v + a.

Step 3: The penalty method

The crucial idea of the method implies introducing an auxiliary fixed, infinite domain A given by:A = A−A = x− y |x ∈ A, y ∈ A,

such that Ω(t) ⊂ Ah(t) ⊂ A and to build a penalized problem PP as follows. We set (F’)-(S’) on Aand we add to the NS equations the term

nχEhv,

where Eh = A \Ah and n ≥ 1 is fixed. How do we exploit the penalized problem PP?

1. Prove existence of weak solutions to PP

2. Prove an energy estimate ⇒ n‖v‖L2(Eh) ≤M < +∞

3. Let n→∞
