A tentative suggestion is made that the flatness of the velocity derivative could reach an infinite value at finite (though very large) Reynolds number, with possible implications for the singularities of the Navier–Stokes equations. A direct test of this suggestion requires measurements at Reynolds numbers presently outside the experimental capacity, so an alternative suggestion that can be te...

We present a block preconditioner for LDG discretizations of Stokes equations. The dependence of its performance on the discretization parameters is investigated. An extension to Oseen equations is shown, yielding efficient and robust solvers in a wide regime of Reynolds numbers.

We give a condition for the periodic, three dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to be globally wellposed. This condition is not a smallness condition on the initial data, as the data is allowed to be arbitrarily large in the scale invariant space B ∞,∞, which contains all the known spaces in which there is a global solution for small data. The smallness condition is rather a non...

This is a survey of some recent results on the existence of globally defined weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations of a viscous compressible fluid with a general barotropic pressure-density relation.

We consider dynamics system with damping, which are obtained by some transformations from the system of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. These have similar properties to original Navier-Stokes equations the scaling invariance. Due to the presence of the damping term, conclusions are different with proving the origin of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and get some new conclusio...

We construct solutions for the Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions with a time periodic force which is of compact support in a frame that moves at constant speed. These solutions are related to solutions of the problem of a body which moves within an incompressible fluid at constant speed and rotates around an axis which is aligned with the motion. In contrast to other authors who anala...

We show that the classical Cauchy problem for the incompressible 3d Navier-Stokes equations with (−1)-homogeneous initial data has a global scale-invariant solution which is smooth for positive times. Our main technical tools are local-in-space regularity estimates near the initial time, which are of independent interest.

Usually the Stokes equations that govern a flow in a smooth thin domain (with thickness of order ε) are related to the Reynolds equation for the pressure psmooth. In this paper, we show that for a rough thin domain (with rugosities of order ε) the flow is governed by a modified Reynolds equation for a pressure prough. Moreover we find the relation prough = K psmooth where K is an explicit coeff...

Abstract. Moments of the vorticity are used to define and estimate a hierarchy of time-averaged inverse length scales for weak solutions of the three-dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a periodic box. The estimate for the smallest of these inverse scales coincides with the inverse Kolmogorov length, but thereafter the exponents of the Reynolds number rise rapidly for corresp...

Abstract. The asymptotic structure of laminar modulated travelling waves in two-dimensional high-Reynolds-number plane Poiseuille flow is investigated on the upper-energy branch. A finite set of independent slowly varying parameters are identified which parameterize the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in this subset of the phase space. Our parameterization of the weakly stable modes des...
