On the Weak Solvability Via Lagrange Multipliers for a Bingham Model

We study the stationary flow of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid of Bingham type, mathematically described by means of a nonlinear boundary value problem governed by PDEs. The variational formulation which we propose is a mixed variational problem with Lagrange multipliers. First, we obtain existence, uniqueness, and stability results into an abstract framework. Then, we discuss the well-posedness of the mechanical model based on the auxiliary abstract results.
