Higher derivatives estimate for the 3D Navier–Stokes equation

In this article, a nonlinear family of spaces, based on the energy dissipation, is introduced. This family bridges an energy space (containing weak solutions to Navier–Stokes equation) to a critical space (invariant through the canonical scaling of the Navier–Stokes equation). This family is used to get uniform estimates on higher derivatives to solutions to the 3D Navier–Stokes equations. Those estimates are uniform, up to the possible blowing-up time. The proof uses blow-up techniques. Estimates can be obtained by this means thanks to the galilean invariance of the transport part of the equation.     

Existence and zero‐electron‐mass limit of strong solutions to the stationary compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Poisson equation with large external force

In this study, we consider a viscous compressible model of plasma and semiconductors, which is expressed as a compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Poisson equation. We prove that there exists a strong solution to the boundary value problem of the steady compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Poisson equation with large external forces in bounded domain, provided that the ratio of the electron/ions mass is appropriately small. Moreover, the zero‐electron‐mass limit of the strong solutions is rigorously verified. The main idea in the proof is to split the original equation into 4 parts, a system of stationary incompressible Navier‐Stokes equations with large forces, a system of stationary compressible Navier‐Stokes equations with small forces, coupled with 2 Poisson equations. Based on the known results about linear incompressible Navier‐Stokes equation, linear compressible Navier‐Stokes, linear transport, and Poisson equations, we try to establish uniform in the ratio of the electron/ions mass a priori estimates. Further, using Schauder fixed point theorem, we can show the existence of a strong solution to the boundary value problem of the steady compressible Navier‐Stokes‐Poisson equation with large external forces. At the same time, from the uniform a priori estimates, we present the zero‐electron‐mass limit of the strong solutions, which converge to the solutions of the corresponding incompressible Navier‐Stokes‐Poisson equations.     

Carleman Estimates for Parabolic Equations with Nonhomogeneous Boundary Conditions

The authors prove a new Carleman estimate for general linear second order parabolic equation with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. On the basis of this estimate, improved Carleman estimates for the Stokes system and for a system of parabolic equations with a penalty term are obtained. This system can be viewed as an approximation of the Stokes system.

Ergodicity for the 3D stochastic Navier–Stokes equations

We consider the Kolmogorov equation associated with the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations in 3D, we prove existence of a solution in the strict or mild sense. The method consists in finding several estimates for the solutions u_m of the Galerkin approximations of u and their derivatives. These estimates are obtained with the help of an auxiliary Kolmogorov equation with a very irregular negative potential. Although uniqueness is not proved, we are able to construct a transition semigroup for the 3D Navier–Stokes equations. Furthermore, this transition semigroup has a unique invariant measure, which is ergodic and strongly mixing.

WEB‐spline based mesh‐free finite element analysis for the heat equation and the time‐dependent Navier–Stokes equation: A survey

In this article, we give some numerical techniques and error estimates using web‐spline based mesh‐free finite element method for the heat equation and the time‐dependent Navier–Stokes equations on bounded domains. The web‐spline method uses weighted extended B‐splines on a regular grid as basis functions and does not require any grid generation. We demonstrate the method by providing numerical results for the Poisson's and stationary Stokes equation. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2013

Error estimates for finite element method solution of the Stokes problem in the primitive variables

Summary In this paper we derive error estimates for a class of finite element approximation of the Stokes equation. These elements, popular among engineers, are conforming lagrangian both in velocity and pressure and therefore based on a mixed variational principle. The error estimates are established from a new Brezzi-type inequality for this kind of mixed formulation. The results are true in 2 or 3 dimensions.     

A posteriori estimates for approximations of time-dependent Stokes equations

Charalambos Makridakis ^{In this paper, we derive a posteriori error estimates for space-discreteapproximations of the time-dependent Stokes equations. By usingan appropriate Stokes reconstruction operator, we are able towrite an auxiliary error equation, in pointwise form, that satisfiesthe exact divergence-free condition. Thus, standard energy estimatesfrom partial differential equation theory can be applied directly,and yield a posteriori estimates that rely on available correspondingestimates for the stationary Stokes equation. Estimates of optimalorder in L(L2) and L(H1) for the velocity are derived for finite-elementand finite-volume approximations.}     

On a bounded shear flow in a half-space

In this paper, a simple shear flow in a half-space, which has interesting properties from the point of view of boundary regularity, is described. It is a solution with a bounded velocity field to both the homogeneous Stokes system and the Navier–Stokes equation, and satisfies the homogeneous initial and boundary conditions. The gradient of the solution may become unbounded near the boundary. The example significantly simplifies an earlier construction by K. Kang, and shows that the boundary estimates obtained in a recent paper by the first author are sharp. Bibliography: 4 titles.     

Stabilized finite element approximations for the Reissner–Mindlin plate

Based on the Helmholtz decomposition of the transverse shear strain, Brezzi and Fortin in [5] introduced a three-stage algorithm for approximating the Reissner–Mindlin plate model with clamped boundary conditions and established uniform error estimates in the plate thickness. The first- and third-stage involve approximating two simple Poisson equations and the second-stage approximating a perturbed Stokes equation. Instead of using the mixed finite element method which is subject to the inf–sup condition, we consider a stabilized finite element approximation to such perturbed Stokes equations. Optimal error estimates independent of thickness of the plate are obtained for such equations. Then error analysis is established for the whole system.     

On the asymptotic behavior of solution for the generalized IBq equation with Stokes damped term

In this paper, we investigate the Cauchy problem for the generalized improved Boussinesq equation with Stokes damped term in n-dimensional space. We observe that the dissipative structure of the linearized equation is of the regularity-loss type. This means that we have the optimal decay estimates of solutions under the additional regularity assumption on the initial data. Based on the decay estimates of solutions to the corresponding linear equation and smallness condition on the initial data, we prove the global existence and asymptotic of the small amplitude solution in the time-weighted Sobolev space by the contraction mapping principle.     

Periodic solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations in a perturbed half‐space and an aperture domain

We shall construct a periodic strong solution of the Navier–Stokes equations for some periodic external force in a perturbed half‐space and an aperture domain of the dimension n?3. Our proof is based on L^p–L^q estimates of the Stokes semigroup. We apply L^p–L^q estimates to the integral equation which is transformed from the original equation. As a result, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of periodic strong solutions. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Low regularity well-posedness for the viscous surface wave equation

In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness of the viscous surface wave equation in low regularity Sobolev spaces. The key points are to establish several new Stokes estimates depending only on the optimal boundary regularity and to construct a new iteration scheme on a known moving domain. Our method could be applied to some other fluid models with free boundaries.     

Global weak solutions to the Cauchy problem of compressible Navier–Stokes–Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equations

A fluid–particles system of the compressible Navier‐Stokes equations and Vlasov‐Fokker‐Planck equation (including the case of Vlasov equation) in three‐dimensional space is considered in this paper. The coupling arises from a drag force exerted by the fluid onto the particles. We study a Cauchy problem with large data, and establish the existence of global weak solutions through an approximation scheme, energy estimates, and weak convergence.

Global strong solutions of Navier-Stokes equations with interface boundary in three-dimensional thin domains

In this article, we study the spectrum of the Stokes operator in a 3D two layer domain with interface, obtain the asymptotic estimates on the spectrum of the Stokes operator as thickness ε goes to zero. Based on the spectral decomposition of the Stokes operator, a new average-like operator is introduced and applied to the study of Navier-Stokes equation in the two layer thin domains under interface boundary condition. We prove the global existence of strong solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations when the initial data and external forces are in large sets as the thickness of the domain is small. This article is a continuation of our study on the Stokes operator under Navier friction boundary condition. Due to the viscosity distinction between the two layers, the Stokes operator displays radically different spectral structure from that under Navier friction boundary condition, then causes great difficulty to the analysis.

On a posteriori estimates for a linearized Oldroyd's problem

We study and give some a posteriori estimates for finite element approximation of a linearized Oldroyd's problem for the approximation of viscoelastic fluid flows. The major difficulty lies in the coupling between two different kinds of equations: a hyperbolic equation associated to the constitutive equation and Stokes problem. These estimates are then obtained combining two different techniques used for each kind of equation: the first technique is given in (First ICIAM, Paris, 1987) for Stokes's equations and the second in (C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris. Ser. I. 322 (1996) 493) for Friedrichs's system.
