We consider an inverse problem of determining a spatially varying factor in a source term in a nonstationary linearized Navier-Stokes equations by observation data in an arbitrarily fixed sub-domain over some time interval. We prove the Lipschitz stability provided that the t-dependent factor satisfies a non-degeneracy condition. Our proof based on a new Carleman estimate for the Navier-Stokes ...

In this paper we show the existence of regular solutions of the Rothe–approximation of the unsteady Navier–Stokes equations with periodic boundary condition in arbitrary dimension. The result relies on techniques developed by the authors in the study of the higher–dimensional steady Navier–Stokes equations.

We consider the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with spatially periodic boundary conditions. If the Reynolds number is small enough we provide an elementary short proof of the existence of global in time Hölder continuous solutions. Our proof is based on the stochastic Lagrangian formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations, and works in both the two and three dimensional situation.

In this paper we consider the three–dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in an infinite channel. We provide a sufficient condition, in terms of ∂zp, where p is the pressure, for the global existence of the strong solutions to the three–dimensional Navier–Stokes equations.

The quasineutral limit of compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson system with heat conductivity and general (ill-prepared) initial data is rigorously proved in this paper. It is proved that, as the Debye length tends to zero, the solution of the compressible Navier-Stokes-Poisson system converges strongly to the strong solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations plus a term of fast singul...

It is shown that expansion waves for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations are nonlinearly stable. The expansion waves are constructed for the compressible Euler equations based on the inviscid Burgers equation. Our result shows that Navier-Stokes equations and Euler equations are timeasymptotically equivalent on the level of expansion waves. The result is proved using the energy method, mak...

In [4] the authors consider the two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the exterior of an obstacle shrinking to a point and determine the limit velocity. Here we consider the same problem in the three dimensional case, proving that the limit velocity is a solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in the full space.
