Abstract

The paper provides a well-posedness analysis for a family of stationary Navier-Stokes-type variational-hemivariational inequalities, motivated by applications in fluid mechanics. The family contains various mixed variational equations, mixed variational inequalities and mixed hemivariational inequalities found in the literature as special cases. The main features of the paper are that the existence and uniqueness of both the velocity field and pressure field are established, and the results are proved in an accessible fashion without the need of knowledge of abstract surjectivity results for pseudomonotone operators as required in many references on variational-hemivariational inequalities. The results are applied to the study of a variational-hemivariational inequality of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flows subject to slip conditions of frictional type, both monotone and non-monotone.
