Asymptotics of Small Exterior Navier-Stokes Flows with Non-Decaying Boundary Data

We prove the existence of unique solutions for the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in an exterior domain with small boundary data which do not necessarily decay in time. As a corollary, the existence of unique small time-periodic solutions is shown. We next show that the spatial asymptotics of the periodic solution is given by the same Landau solution at all times. Lastly we show that if the boundary datum is time-periodic and the initial datum is asymptotically self-similar, then the solution converges to the sum of a time-periodic vector field and a forward self-similar vector field as time goes to infinity.     

Remark on well-posedness for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger type equation

We consider the initial value problem for the fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger type equation (4NLS) related to the theory of vortex filament. In this paper we prove the time local well-posedness for (4NLS) in the Sobolev space, which is an improvement of our previous paper.

Self-similar Solutions of the Navier–Stokes Equations on Weak Weighted Lorentz Spaces

In the present paper, we prove the existence of global solutions for the Navier–Stokes equations in Rnwhen the initial velocity belongs to the weighted weak Lorentz space Λn,∞(u) with a sufficiently small norm under certain restriction on the weight u. At the same time, self-similar solutions are induced if the initial velocity is, besides, a homogeneous function of degree-1. Also the uniqueness is discussed.     

Global well-posedness for the dynamical Q-tensor model of liquid crystals

We consider a complex fluid modeling nematic liquid crystal flows, which is described by a system coupling Navier-Stokes equations with a parabolic Q-tensor system. We first prove the global existence of weak solutions in dimension three. Furthermore, the global well-posedness of strong solutions is studied with sufficiently large viscosity of fluid. Finally, we show a continuous dependence result on the initial data which directly yields the weak-strong uniqueness of solutions.     

Blowup of smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equation with compact density

We present a sufficient condition on the blowup of smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in arbitrary space dimensions with initial density of compact support. As an immediate application, it is shown that any smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for polytropic fluids in the absence of heat conduction will blow up in finite time as long as the initial densities have compact support, and an upper bound, which depends only on the initial data, on the blowup time follows from our elementary analysis immediately. Another implication is that there is no global small (decay in time) or even bounded (in the case that all the viscosity coefficients are positive) smooth solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for polytropic fluids, no matter how small the initial data are, as long as the initial density is of compact support. This is in contrast to the classical theory of global existence of small solutions to the same system with initial data being a small perturbation of a constant state that is not a vacuum. The blowup of smooth solutions to the compressible Euler system with initial density and velocity of compact support is a simple consequence of our argument. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Zero dissipation limit to rarefaction waves for the one-dimensional navier-stokes equations of compressible isentropic gases

We study the zero dissipation limit problem for the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations of compressible, isentropic gases in the case that the corresponding Euler equations have rarefaction wave solutions. We prove that the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with centered rarefaction wave data exist for all time, and converge to the centered rarefaction waves as the viscosity vanishes, uniformly away from the initial discontinuities. In the case that either the effects of initial layers are ignored or the rarefaction waves are smooth, we then obtain a rate of convergence which is valid uniformly for all time. Our method of proof consists of a scaling argument and elementary energy analysis, based on the underlying wave structure. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Strong solutions and weak-strong uniqueness for the nonhomogeneous Navier-Stokes system

This article is devoted to the study of the nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes system in dimension d ≥ 3. We use new a priori estimates, which enable us to deal with low-regularity data and vanishing density. In particular, we prove new well-posedness results which improve the results of Danchin [6] by considering a less regular initial density, without a lower bound. Also, we obtain the first uniqueness criterion for weak solutions which is at the scaling of the equation.

Finally, we show a continuous dependence result on the initial data which directly yields the weak-strong uniqueness of solutions.     

Convergence of the point vortex method for the 3-D euler equations

We prove consistency, stability, and convergence of a point vortex approximation to the 3-D incompressible Euler equations with smooth solutions. The 3-D algorithm we consider here is similar to the corresponding 3-D vortex blob algorithm introduced by Beale and Majda; see [3]. We first show that the discretization error is second-order accurate. Then we show that the method is stable in l^p norm for the particle trajectories and in w^?1.p norm for discrete vorticity. Consequently, the method converges up to any time for which the Euler equations have a smooth solution. One immediate application of our convergence result is that the vortex filament method without smoothing also converges.     

An overview of some recent results on the Euler system of isentropic gas dynamics

This overview is concerned with the well-posedness problem for the isentropic compressible Euler equations of gas dynamics. The results we present are in line with the programof investigatingthe efficiency of different selection criteria proposed in the literature in order to weed out non-physical solutions to more-dimensional systems of conservation laws and they build upon the method of convex integration developed by De Lellis and Székelyhidi for the incompressible Euler equations. Mainly following [5], we investigate the role of the maximal dissipation criterion proposed by Dafermos in [6]: we prove how, for specific pressure laws, some non-standard (i.e. constructed via convex integration methods) solutions to the Riemann problem for the isentropic Euler system in two space dimensions have greater energy dissipation rate than the classical self-similar solution emanating from the same Riemann data. We therefore show that the maximal dissipation criterion proposed by Dafermos does not favour in general the self-similar solutions.     

L 3,∞-solutions to the MHD equations

We prove that weak solutions to the MHD system are smooth provided that they belong to the so-called “critical” Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin class L_3,∞. Besides the independent interest, this result disproves the hypothesis on existence of collapsing self-similar solutions to the MHD equations for which the generating profile belongs to the space L₃. Thus, we extend the results which were known before for the Navier-Stokes system to the case of the MHD equations.

Well-posedness,global existence,and blowup phenomena for a periodic quasi-linear hyperbolic equation

We establish the local well-posedness of a recently derived model for small-amplitude, shallow water waves. For a large class of initial data we prove global existence of the corresponding solution. Criteria guaranteeing the development of singularities in finite time for strong solutions with smooth initial data are obtained, and an existence and uniqueness result for a class of global weak solutions is also given. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Self-similar solutions for active scalar equations in Fourier–Besov–Morrey spaces

We are concerned with a family of dissipative active scalar equation with velocity fields coupled via multiplier operators that can be of positive-order. We consider sub-critical values for the fractional diffusion and prove global well-posedness of solutions with small initial data belonging to a framework based on Fourier transform, namely Fourier–Besov–Morrey spaces. Since the smallness condition is with respect to the weak norm of this space, some initial data with large \(L^{2}\) -norm can be considered. Self-similar solutions are obtained depending on the homogeneity of the initial data and couplings. Also, we show that solutions are asymptotically self-similar at infinity. Our results can be applied in a unified way for a number of active scalar PDEs like 1D models on dislocation dynamics in crystals, Burgers’ equation, 2D vorticity equation, 2D generalized SQG, 3D magneto-geostrophic equations, among others.

Finite-Gap Solutions of the Vortex Filament Equation: Isoperiodic Deformations

We study the topology of quasiperiodic solutions of the vortex filament equation in a neighborhood of multiply covered circles. We construct these solutions by means of a sequence of isoperiodic deformations, at each step of which a real double point is “unpinched” to produce a new pair of branch points and therefore a solution of higher genus. We prove that every step in this process corresponds to a cabling operation on the previous curve, and we provide a labelling scheme that matches the deformation data with the knot type of the resulting filament.     

Shock Formation and Vorticity Creation for 3d Euler

We analyze the shock formation process for the 3D nonisentropic Euler equations with the ideal gas law, in which sound waves interact with entropy waves to produce vorticity. Building on our theory for isentropic flows in [3, 4], we give a constructive proof of shock formation from smooth initial data. Specifically, we prove that there exist smooth solutions to the nonisentropic Euler equations which form a generic stable shock with explicitly computable blowup time, location, and direction. This is achieved by establishing the asymptotic stability of a generic shock profile in modulated self-similar variables, controlling the interaction of wave families via: (i) pointwise bounds along Lagrangian trajectories, (ii) geometric vorticity structure, and (iii) high-order energy estimates in Sobolev spaces. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.     

On local strong and classical solutions to the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with vacuum

We consider the local well-posedness of strong and classical solutions to the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density containing vacuum initially. We first prove the local existence and uniqueness of the strong solutions, where the initial compatibility condition proposed by Cho et al.(2004), Cho and Kim(2006) and Choe and Kim(2003) is removed in a suitable sense. Then the continuous dependence of strong solutions on the initial data is derived under an additional compatibility condition. Moreover, for the initial data satisfying some additional regularity and the compatibility condition,the strong solution is proved to be a classical one.     

Blow-up of smooth highly decreasing at infinity solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations

We prove that the smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes equations with conserved total mass, finite total energy and finite momentum of inertia lose the initial smoothness within a finite time in the case of space of dimension 3 or greater even if the initial data are not compactly supported. The cases of isentropic and incompressible fluids are also considered.     

Scalar conservation laws: Initial and boundary value problems revisited and saturated solutions

We revisit the classical theory of multidimensional scalar conservation laws. We reformulate the notion of the classical Kruzkov entropy solutions and study some new properties as well as the well-posedness of the initial value problem with inhomogeneous fluxes and general initial data. We also consider Dirichlet boundary value problems. We put forward a new and transparent definition for solutions and give a simple proof for their well-posedness in domains with smooth boundaries. Finally, we introduce the notion of saturated solutions and show that it is well-posed.
