Abstract
We consider a coupled system of partial and ordinary differential equations describing the interaction between an incompressible inviscid fluid and a rigid body moving freely inside the fluid. We prove the existence of measure-valued solutions which is generated by the vanishing viscosity limit of incompressible fluid–rigid body interaction system under some physically constitutive relations. Moreover, we show that the measure-valued solution coincides with strong solution on the interval of its existence. This relies on the weak–strong uniqueness analysis. This is the first result of an existence of measure-valued solution and weak–strong uniqueness in measure-valued sense in the case of inviscid fluid–structure interaction.

1.1 Fundamental Theorem on Young Measure
In the following, with a slightly different notation, we recall the Fundamental Theorem on Young measure discussed in [37]. Further, \({\mathcal {M}}({\mathbb {R}}^d)\) denotes the space of Radon measures on \({\mathbb {R}}^d\).
Theorem 4.1
Let \(A \subset {\mathbb {R}}^n\) be a measurable set of finite measure and let \(f_j : A \rightarrow {\mathbb {R}}^d\) be a sequence of measurable functions. Then there exists a subsequence \(f_{j_{k}}\) and a weak – \(*\) measurable map \(Y : A \rightarrow {\mathcal {M}}({\mathbb {R}}^d)\), such that the following holds
-
1.
\(Y_x \ge 0\), \(\Vert Y_x \Vert _{{\mathcal {M}}({\mathbb {R}}^d)}=\int _{{\mathbb {R}}^d} dY_x \le 1,\) for a.a. \(x\in A\);
-
2.
For every \(g \in C_c({\mathbb {R}}^d)\), we have
$$\begin{aligned} g(f_{j_{k}}) \rightarrow {\overline{g}} \ \ weakly{\hbox {-}}* \ in \ L^\infty (A),\\ {\overline{g}}(x) = \langle Y_x,g\rangle = \int _{{\mathbb {R}}^d} g dY_x. \end{aligned}$$ -
3.
Furthermore, if
$$\begin{aligned} \lim _{m \rightarrow \infty } \sup _k |\{ |f_{j_{k}}|\ge m \}| = 0 \end{aligned}$$(4.1)we have
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert Y_x \Vert _{{\mathcal {M}}({\mathbb {R}}^d)}=1. \end{aligned}$$
As remarked in [37, Remark 2.9, Chapter 4], if \(f_{j_{k}}\) are uniformly bounded in \(L^p(A)^d\) for \(p \in [1,\infty )\), the condition (4.1) is satisfied.
1.2 Reynolds Transport Theorem
For completeness of presentation we state here the Reynolds transport theorem which is one of the key ingredients in analysis of fluid on moving domains.
Theorem 4.2
Let f be a function such that all integrals in the formula below are well defined. Let \(\mathbf{u} _{{\mathcal {B}}}\) be a rigid velocity field describing the motion of the body \({{\mathcal {B}}}(t)\). Then the following formula for time derivative of an integral over the fluid domain holds.
1.3 Weak Formulation of the Momentum Equation
In this section, we present the calculation behind the weak formulation of the momentum equation (2.6).
Let all the functions be sufficiently smooth so that we can do integration by parts. We multiply equation (1.2)\(_1\) by test function \(\pmb {\varphi }\in V_T\) and integrate over \(\mathcal {F}(t)\) to obtain
As \(\pmb {\varphi }\in V_T\), we have \(\pmb {\varphi }_{\mathcal {F}} \cdot \mathbf{n} =0\) on \(\partial \Omega \). Using the Reynolds transport theorem 4.2 and the mass transport of the body we have
As \({\mathbb {D}}(\pmb {\varphi }_{\mathcal {B}})=0\), we have \((\mathbf {u}_{\mathcal {B}} \otimes \mathbf{u} _{{\mathcal {B}}}) : \nabla \pmb {\varphi }_{\mathcal {B}}=0\). Using the rigid body equations (1.4) and the boundary condition \(\pmb {\varphi }_{{{\mathcal {F}}}} \cdot \mathbf{n} = \pmb {\varphi }_{{{\mathcal {B}}}} \cdot \mathbf{n} \) on \(\partial {\mathcal {B}}(t)\), we obtain
Thus by combining the above relations (4.3)–(4.4) and then integrating in time, we have
for \(\tau \in [0,T]\).
1.4 Derivation of (3.26)
We multiply Eq. (3.17)\(_1\) by test function \(\pmb {\varphi }\in V_T\), integrate over \(\mathcal {F}_1(t)\) and use the Reynolds transport theorem 4.2 to obtain
where we combine the weak formulation of the continuity equation and the boundary condition. As \(\pmb {\varphi }\in V_T\), we have \(\pmb {\varphi }_{\mathcal {F}} \cdot \mathbf{n} =0\) on \(\partial \Omega \). We use the Reynolds transport theorem 4.2 together with the mass transport of the body to obtain
Using the rigid body equations (3.22)–(3.23) and the boundary condition \(\pmb {\varphi }_{{{\mathcal {F}}}} \cdot \mathbf{n} = \pmb {\varphi }_{{{\mathcal {B}}}} \cdot \mathbf{n} \) on \(\partial {\mathcal {B}}_1(t)\), we obtain
Thus by combining the above relations (4.6)–(4.7) and then integrating in time, we have for \(\tau \in [0,T]\):
1.5 Derivation of (3.40)
In this section, we follow the calculations of [36, Appendix] to derive our desired identity. We know that
A simple calculation gives
We use (3.22) to deduce
Next, by (1.6) we get
Using (1.7) and (3.23) we obtain
We also have
Summing (4.9)–(4.14) and using (4.8) we end up with
