Abstract

In this paper we analyze three-dimensional Peterlin viscoelastic model. By means of a mixed Galerkin and semigroup approach we prove the existence of weak solutions. Further, combining parabolic regularity with the relative energy method, we derive a conditional weak-strong uniqueness result.

Keywords

complex fluids, relative energy, parabolic regularity, weak-strong uniqueness
