Uniform regularity and vanishing viscosity limit for the chemotaxis‐Navier‐Stokes system in a 3D bounded domain

We investigate the uniform regularity and vanishing viscosity limit for the incompressible chemotaxis‐Navier‐Stokes system with Navier boundary condition for velocity field and Neumann boundary condition for cell density and chemical concentration in a 3D bounded domain. It is shown that there exists a unique strong solution of the incompressible chemotaxis‐Navier‐Stokes system in a finite time interval, which is independent of the viscosity coefficient. Moreover, this solution is uniformly bounded in a conormal Sobolev space, which allows us to take the vanishing viscosity limit to obtain the incompressible chemotaxis‐Euler system.

The vanishing viscosity limit for a 2D Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes system with a slip boundary condition

Boundary layer problem: Navier–Stokes equations and Euler equations

This work is concerned with the boundary layer turbulence, which is an outstanding problem in fluid mechanics. We consider an incompressible viscous fluid in 2D domains with permeable walls. The permeability is described by the Yudovich condition. The goal of the article is to study the fluid behavior at vanishing viscosity (large Reynold’s numbers). We show that the vanishing viscous limit is a solution of the Euler equations with the Yudovich condition on the inflow region of the boundary.

The Inviscid Limit for the Navier–Stokes Equations with Slip Condition on Permeable Walls

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations in a 2D-bounded domain with general non-homogeneous Navier slip boundary conditions prescribed on permeable boundaries, and study the vanishing viscosity limit. We prove that solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations converge to solutions of the Euler equations satisfying the same Navier slip boundary condition on the inflow region of the boundary. The convergence is strong in Sobolev’s spaces $W^{1}_{p}, p>2$ , which correspond to the spaces of the data.     

The vanishing viscosity limit for some symmetric flows

The focus of this paper is on the analysis of the boundary layer and the associated vanishing viscosity limit for two classes of flows with symmetry, namely, Plane-Parallel Channel Flows and Parallel Pipe Flows. We construct explicit boundary layer correctors, which approximate the difference between the Navier–Stokes and the Euler solutions. Using properties of these correctors, we establish convergence of the Navier–Stokes solution to the Euler solution as viscosity vanishes with optimal rates of convergence. In addition, we investigate vorticity production on the boundary in the limit of vanishing viscosity. Our work significantly extends prior work in the literature.     

Vanishing vertical limit of the incompressible combined viscosity and magnetic diffusion magnetohydrodynamic system

In this paper, we consider the incompressible combined viscosity and magnetic diffusion magnetohydrodynamic system with Dirichlet boundary condition in a half space of . We establish the asymptotic expansions of this system by multiscale analysis and obtain the horizontal alone viscosity and magnetic diffusion magnetohydrodynamic equations and the boundary layer equations. And then we study the well‐posedness of the 2 equations. At last, we get the vanishing limit when the vertical viscosity and magnetic diffusion coefficient tends to zero.     

Vanishing viscosity limit for a coupled Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system

In this paper, we study the vanishing viscosity limit for a coupled Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system in a bounded domain. We first show the local existence of smooth solutions of the Euler/Allen-Cahn equations by modified Galerkin method. Then using the boundary layer function to deal with the mismatch of the boundary conditions between Navier-Stokes and Euler equations, and assuming that the energy dissipation for Navier-Stokes equation in the boundary layer goes to zero as the viscosity tends to zero, we prove that the solutions of the Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system converge to that of the Euler/Allen-Cahn system in a proper small time interval. In addition, for strong solutions of the Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system in 2D, the convergence rate is cν1/2.     

Boundary layers for the 3D primitive equations in a cube: The Zero-mode

We establish the vanishing viscosity limit of the zero-mode of the linearized Primitive Equations in a cube. Our method is based on the explicit construction and estimates of the boundary layers. This result, together with that in [12, 15], allows us to conclude the vanishing viscosity limit of the linearized Primitive Equations in a cube.     

Characteristic boundary layers in real vanishing viscosity limits

In this paper, we study the vanishing viscosity limit of initial boundary value problems for one-dimensional mixed hyperbolic-parabolic systems when the boundary is characteristic for both the viscous and the inviscid systems: in particular, we assume that an eigenvalue of the inviscid system vanishes uniformly. We prove the stability of boundary layers expansions in small time (i.e before shocks for the inviscid system) as long as the amplitude of the boundary layers remains sufficiently small. In particular, by using Lagrangian coordinates, we apply our result to physical systems like gasdynamics and magnetohydrodynamics with homogeneous Dirichlet condition for the velocity at the boundary.     

On the vanishing viscosity limit in a disk

We say that a solution of the Navier–Stokes equations converges in the vanishing viscosity limit to a solution of the Euler equations if their velocities converge in the energy (L ²) norm uniformly in time as the viscosity ν vanishes. We show that a necessary and sufficient condition for the vanishing viscosity limit to hold in a disk is that the space–time energy density of the solution to the Navier–Stokes equations in a boundary layer of width proportional to ν vanish with ν, and that one need only consider spatial variations whose frequencies in the radial or tangential direction lie in a band centered around 1/ν.

An elementary approach to the inviscid limits for the 3D Navier–Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions and applications to the 3D Boussinesq equations

In this note we consider the inviscid limit for the 3D Boussinesq equations without diffusion, under slip boundary conditions of Navier’s type. We first study more closely the Navier–Stokes equations, to better understand the problem. The role of the initial data is also emphasized in connection with the vanishing viscosity limit.     

Vanishing viscosity limits and boundary layers for circularly symmetric 2D flows

We continue the work of Lopes Filho, Mazzucato and Nussenzveig Lopes [10] on the vanishing viscosity limit of circularly symmetric viscous flow in a disk with rotating boundary, shown there to converge to the inviscid limit in L ²-norm as long as the prescribed angular velocity α(t) of the boundary has bounded total variation. Here we establish convergence in stronger L ² and L ^p -Sobolev spaces, allow for more singular angular velocities α, and address the issue of analyzing the behavior of the boundary layer. This includes an analysis of concentration of vorticity in the vanishing viscosity limit. We also consider such flows on an annulus, whose two boundary components rotate independently.

The inviscid limit of the incompressible anisotropic Navier–Stokes equations with the non-slip boundary condition

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior for the incompressible anisotropic Navier–Stokes equations with the non-slip boundary condition in a half space of ${\mathbb{R}^3}$ when the vertical viscosity goes to zero. Firstly, by multi-scale analysis, we formally deduce an asymptotic expansion of the solution to the problem with respect to the vertical viscosity, which shows that the boundary layer appears in the tangential velocity field and satisfies a nonlinear parabolic–elliptic coupled system. Also from the expansion, it is observed that away from the boundary the solution of the anisotropic Navier–Stokes equations formally converges to a solution of a degenerate incompressible Navier–Stokes equation. Secondly, we study the well-posedness of the problems for the boundary layer equations and then rigorously justify the asymptotic expansion by using the energy method. We obtain the convergence results of the vanishing vertical viscosity limit, that is, the solution to the incompressible anisotropic Navier–Stokes equations tends to the solution to degenerate incompressible Navier–Stokes equations away from the boundary, while near the boundary, it tends to the boundary layer profile, in both the energy space and the L ^∞ space.     

Vanishing viscous limits for the 2D lake equations with Navier boundary conditions

The vanishing viscosity limit is considered for the viscous lake equations with Navier friction boundary conditions. We prove that the inviscid limit satisfies the inviscid lake equations, and the results include flows generated by Lp initial vorticity with 1<p?∞.

In this paper, we investigate the vanishing viscosity limit problem for the 3D incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system in a general bounded smooth domain of R ³ with the generalized Navier slip boundary conditions. We also obtain rates of convergence of the solution of viscous MHD to the corresponding ideal MHD. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Reducing slip boundary value problems from the half to the whole space. Applications to inviscid limits and to non-Newtonian fluids

The study of a very large class of linear and non-linear, stationary and evolutive partial differential problems in the half-space (or similar) under the slip boundary condition is reduced here to the much simpler study of the corresponding results for the same problem in the whole space. The approach is particularly suitable for proving new results in strong norms. To determine whether this extension is available, turns out to be a simple exercise. The verification depends on a few general features of the functional space X related to the space variables. Hence, we present an approach as much as possible independent of the particular space X. We appeal to a reflection technique. Hence a crucial assumption is to be in the presence of flat boundaries (see below). Instead of stating “general theorems” we rather prefer to illustrate how to apply our results by considering a couple of interesting problems. As a main example, we show that sharp vanishing viscosity limit results that hold for the evolution Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space can be extended to the slip boundary value problem in the half-space. We also show some applications to non-Newtonian fluid problems.     

First order quasilinear equations with boundary conditions

Small Time Uniform Controllability of the Linear One-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation with Vanishing Viscosity

This paper addresses the exact controllability problem of the linear one-dimensional Schrödinger equation perturbed by a vanishing viscosity term depending on a strictly positive parameter. It is shown that, for any time and for each initial datum in a suitable space, there exists a uniformly bounded family of boundary controls. Any weak limit of this family is a control for the linear Schrödinger equation.
