We investigate the zero dissipation limit problem of the one dimensional compressible non–isentropic Navier–Stokes equations with Riemann initial data in the case of the composite wave of two shock waves. It is shown that the unique solution of the Navier–Stokes equations exists for all time, and converge to the Riemann solution of the corresponding Euler equations with the same Riemann initial...

Two-dimensional reactive Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a simple implicit Beam-Warming finite difference scheme. Comparisons of the detonation wave solutions of reactive Euler equations and reactive Navier-Stokes equations show that physical diffusion is important at high resolution when the numerical diffusion becomes negligible. Hence, for accurate detonation wave solutions it is ne...

We consider the Navier-Stokes equations in exterior domains and in the weighted L space. For this purpose, we consider the L − L estimates of Stokes semigroup with weight 〈x〉 type. Our proof is based on the cut-off technique with local energy decay estimate proved by Dan, Kobayashi and Shibata [1] and the weighted L − L estimates of Stokes semigroup in the whole space proved by Kobayashi and Ku...

We investigate the stabilizing effect of convection in 3D incompressible Euler and NavierStokes equations. The convection term is the main source of nonlinearity for these equations. It is often considered destabilizing although it conserves energy due to the incompressibility condition. In this paper, we show that the convection term together with the incompressibility condition actually has a...

A beautiful and influential subject in the study of the question of smoothness of solutions for the Navier – Stokes equations in three dimensions is the theory of partial regularity. A major paper on this topic is Caffarelli, Kohn & Nirenberg [5](1982) which gives an upper bound on the size of the singular set S(u) of a suitable weak solution u. In the present paper we describe a complementary ...

Droplet impact onto a solid surface is modeled and numerically simulated using an ALE formulation of the Navier-Stokes free surface equations. The triple line dynamics aspect is modeled implicitely through the Shikhmurzaev theory. Those equations involve a generalized Navier slip boundary conditions with the variation of the surface tension near the triple line (thus a local Marangoni effect). ...

Towards direct simulations of counterflow flames with consistent differential-algebraic boundary conditions Report Title A new approach for the formulation of boundary conditions for the counterflow configuration is presented. Upon discretization of the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations at the inflow boundaries, numerically algebraic equations are imposed as boundary conditions, while upon d...

We study the inviscid limit of the free boundary Navier-Stokes equations. We prove the existence of solutions on a uniform time interval by using a suitable functional framework based on Sobolev conormal spaces. This allows us to use a strong compactness argument to justify the inviscid limit. Our approach does not rely on the justification of asymptotic expansions. In particular, we get a new ...
