The blocking of an inhomogeneous Bingham fluid. Applications to landslides
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 36 (2002) no. 6, pp. 1013-1026.

This work is concerned with the flow of a viscous plastic fluid. We choose a model of Bingham type taking into account inhomogeneous yield limit of the fluid, which is well-adapted in the description of landslides. After setting the general threedimensional problem, the blocking property is introduced. We then focus on necessary and sufficient conditions such that blocking of the fluid occurs. The anti-plane flow in twodimensional and onedimensional cases is considered. A variational formulation in terms of stresses is deduced. More fine properties dealing with local stagnant regions as well as local regions where the fluid behaves like a rigid body are obtained in dimension one.
