We investigate the stability and global existence of weak solutions to a free boundary problem governing the evolution of polymeric fluids. We construct weak solutions of the two-phase model by performing the asymptotic limit of a macroscopic model governing the suspensions of rod-like molecules (known as Doi-model) in compressible fluids as the adiabatic exponent \gamma goes to \infty. The convergence of these solutions, up to a subsequence, to the free-boundary problem is established using techniques in the spirit of Lions and Masmoudi (Ann Inst Henri Poincaré 16:373–410, 1999).

Abstract
We investigate the stability and global existence of weak solutions to a free boundary problem governing the evolution of polymeric fluids. We construct weak solutions of the two-phase model by performing the asymptotic limit of a macroscopic model governing the suspensions of rod-like molecules (known as Doi-model) in compressible fluids as the adiabatic exponent \gamma goes to \infty. The convergence of these solutions, up to a subsequence, to the free-boundary problem is established using techniques in the spirit of Lions and Masmoudi (Ann Inst Henri Poincaré 16:373–410, 1999).File in questo prodotto:
