We study the local exponential stabilization, near a given steady-state flow, of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain. The control is performed through a Dirichlet boundary condition. We apply a linear feedback controller, provided by a well-posed infinite dimensional Riccati equation. We give a characterization of the domain of the closed-loop operator which is obtained...

Known structures and self-sustaining mechanisms of wall turbulence are reviewed and explored in the context of the scale interactions implied by the nonlinear advective term in the Navier–Stokes equations. The viewpoint is shaped by the systems approach provided by the resolvent framework for wall turbulence proposed by McKeon & Sharma (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 658, 2010, pp. 336–382), in which the...

From extensive molecular dynamics simulations on immiscible two-phase flows, we find the relative slipping between the fluids and the solid wall everywhere to follow the generalized Navier boundary condition, in which the amount of slipping is proportional to the sum of tangential viscous stress and the uncompensated Young stress. The latter arises from the deviation of the fluid-fluid interfac...

The non-stationary nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of a viscous incompressible fluid flow for 0 < t 6 T in some bounded three-dimensional domain. Up to now it is not known wether these equations are well-posed or not. Therefore we use a particle method to develop a system of approximate equations. We show that this system can be solved uniquely and globally in time and tha...

This paper is concerned with global solutions of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations. The generalized Navier-Stokes equations here refer to the equations obtained by replacing the Laplacian in the Navier-Stokes equations by the more general operator (−∆) with α > 0. It has previously been shown that any classical solution of the d-dimensional generalized NavierStokes equations with α ≥ 1 2 ...

One of the major applications of the Domain Decomposition TimeMarching Algorithm is the coupling of the Navier-Stokes systems with Boltzmann equations in order to compute transitional ows. Another important application, is the coupling of a global Navier-Stokes problem with a local one in order to use di erent modelizations and/or discretizations. Both of these applications involve a global Nav...

The aim of this dissertation is to study stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with a fractional Brownian motion noise. The second chapter will introduce the background results on fractional Brownian motions and some of their properties. The third chapter will focus on the Stokes operator and the semigroup generated by this operator. The Navier-Stokes equations and the evolution equation setup wil...

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a two-dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equation on a smooth domain, driven by multiplicative white noise. We show that solutions of the 2D Navier-Stokes equation generate a perfect and locally compacting C1,1 cocycle. Using multiplicative ergodic theory techniques, we establish the existence of a discrete non-random Lyapunov spectrum for the cocycle. ...

Abstract. This paper is concerned with the rigorous analysis of the zero electron mass limit of the full Navier-Stokes-Poisson. This system has been introduced in the literature by Anile and Pennisi (see [5]) in order to describe a hydrodynamic model for charge-carrier transport in semiconductor devices. The purpose of this paper is to prove rigorously zero electron mass limit in the framework ...

We investigate the singularity formation of a 3D model that was recently proposed by Hou and Lei (2009) in [15] for axisymmetric 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with swirl. The main difference between the 3D model of Hou and Lei and the reformulated 3D Navier–Stokes equations is that the convection term is neglected in the 3D model. This model shares many properties of the 3D incompre...
