Nonlinear iterative approximation of steady incompressible chemically reacting flows by Gazca-Orozco, Pablo Alexei, Heid, Pascal, Süli, Endre

“…We consider a system of nonlinear partial differential equations modelling steady flow of an incompressible chemically reacting non-Newtonian fluid, whose viscosity depends on both the shear-rate and the concentration; in particular, the viscosity is of power-law type, with a power-law index that depends on the concentration. We prove that the weak solution, whose existence was already established in the literature, is unique, given some strengthened assumptions on the diffusive flux and the stress tensor, for small enough data. …”
