Uniform attractor for 2D magneto-micropolar fluid flow in some unbounded domains

Abstract

We investigate the flow of a magneto-micropolar fluid in an arbitrary unbounded domain on which the Poincare inequality holds. Assuming homogeneous boundary conditions and the external fields to be almost periodic in time we prove the existence of the uniform attractor by using the energy method [10] which we generalize to nonautonomous systems. We consider the problem in an abstract setting that allows to include also other hydrodynamical models. In particular, we extend the result of R. Rosa [12] from autonomous to nonautonomous Navier-Stokes equations in unbounded domains.
