A collision result for both non-Newtonian and heat conducting Newtonian compressible fluids

TL;DR
The paper investigates finite-time collision between a rigid body and the boundary in a compressible, possibly non-Newtonian, fluid within a bounded domain. It develops a test-function framework based on a divergence-free field that aligns with the solid’s motion to derive a weak-form energy balance, yielding explicit collision criteria. The main contributions extend known Newtonian collision results to non-Newtonian and heat-conducting fluids by detailing parameter-dependent bounds on the cusp exponent and viscosity-growth effects, and by adapting the analysis to a temperature-dependent viscosity setting with updated collision conditions. These results enhance understanding of fluid-structure interaction in compressible regimes and underline how viscosity behavior and thermal effects influence collision outcomes in practical applications.
Abstract
We generalize the known collision results for a solid in a 3D compressible Newtonian fluid to compressible non-Newtonian ones, and to Newtonian fluids with temperature depending viscosities.
