Abstract:
In this paper, we consider a model coming from textile industries, which can be used to describe the heat and moisture transfer processes in a clothing assembly. The model is a system consisting of two strongly coupled nonlinear parabolic equations in three dimensions, with Robin type boundary conditions. We establish the local existence and uniqueness of the strong solution to the model.
