This paper considers the equations governing incompressible fluid-flow on an evolving surface. We employ an energetic variational approach to derive the dynamical system for the motion of incompressible fluid on such an evolving surface. The focus is to understand the coupling of an incompressible fluid-flow and the evolution of a moving surface, involving both the curvature and the motion of the surface.

Abstract. We consider the governing equations for the motion of compressible fluid on an evolving surface from both energetic and thermodynamic points of view. We employ our energetic variational approaches to derive the momentum equation of our compressible fluid systems on the evolving surface. Applying the first law of thermodynamics and the Gibbs equation, we investigate the internal energy, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy of the fluid on the evolving surface. We also study conservative forms and conservation laws of our compressible fluid systems on the evolving surface. Moreover, we derive the generalized heat and diffusion systems on an evolving surface from an energetic point of view. This paper gives a mathematical validity of the surface stress tensor determined by the Boussinesq-Scriven law. Using a flow map on an evolving surface and applying the Riemannian metric induced by the flow map are key ideas to analyze fluid flow on the evolving surface.

We consider the dominant equations for the motion of the non-Newtonian fluid in a domain from an energetic point of view. We apply our energetic variational approaches and the first law of thermodynamics to derive the generalized compressible non-Newtonian fluid system. We also derive the generalized incompressible non-Newtonian fluid system by using our energetic variational approaches.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 49S05; Secondary 49Q20.
