shear-dependent viscosity; incompressible fluid; global-in-time existence; weak solution
Summary:
We consider the two-dimesional spatially periodic problem for an evolutionary system describing unsteady motions of the fluid with shear-dependent viscosity under general assumptions on the form of nonlinear stress tensors that includes those with $p$-structure. The global-in-time existence of a weak solution is established. Some models where the nonlinear operator corresponds to the case $p=1$ are covered by this analysis.
