The weak Stokes problem associated with a flow through a profile cascade in Lr$L^r$-framework

We study the weak steady Stokes problem, associated with a flow of a Newtonian incompressible fluid through a spatially periodic profile cascade, in the $L^r$-setup. The mathematical model used here is based on the reduction to one spatial period, represented by a bounded 2D domain Ω. The corresponding Stokes problem is formulated using three types of boundary conditions: the conditions of periodicity on the “lower” and “upper” parts of the boundary, the Dirichlet boundary conditions on the “inflow” and on the profile and an artificial “do nothing”-type boundary condition on the “outflow.” Under appropriate assumptions on the given data, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution in ${\mathbf{W}}^{1,r}(\mathrm{\Omega })$ and its continuous dependence on the data. We explain the sense in which the “do nothing” boundary condition on the “outflow” is satisfied.     

Sequential stability of weak solutions in compressible self‐gravitating fluids and stationary problem

In this paper, we prove the sequential stability of weak solutions over time, in relation to the Navier–Stokes system of compressible self‐gravitating fluids in a three‐dimensional domain. As a byproduct, we show that there exists at least one non‐negative solution to the stationary problem in any bounded domain with a given mass for the adiabatic constant γ > 3 ∕ 2. In particular, for the spherically symmetric case, these conclusions still hold for γ > 4 ∕ 3 or γ = 4 ∕ 3 with a small mass. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Nonstationary flow for the Navier–Stokes equations in a cylindrical pipe

In cylindrical domain, we consider the nonstationary flow with prescribed inflow and outflow, modelled with Navier–Stokes equations under the slip boundary conditions. Using smallness of some derivatives of inflow function, external force and initial velocity of the flow, but with no smallness restrictions on the inflow, initial velocity neither force, we prove existence of solutions in .

On the blow‐up criterion of the periodic incompressible fluids

Kato, Ponce, Beale and Majda prove the existence and uniqueness of maximal solution of Euler and Navier–Stokes equations and some blow‐up criterion. In the periodic case, we establish that if the maximum time T* is finite, then the growth of is at least of the order of (T* ? t)^{?2m / 5}. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On pointwise decay rates of time‐periodic solutions to the Navier–Stokes equation

We study the existence of a time‐periodic solution with pointwise decay properties to the Navier–Stokes equation in the whole space. We show that if the time‐periodic external force is sufficiently small in an appropriate sense, then there exists a time‐periodic solution $\{u,p\}$ of the Navier–Stokes equation such that $|{?}^j{u(t,x)|=O(|x|}^{1?n?j})$ and $|{?}^j{p(t,x)|=O(|x|}^{?n?j})(j=0,1,\dots )$ uniformly in $t\in \mathbb{R}$ as $|x|\to \infty$. Our solution decays faster than the time‐periodic Stokes fundamental solution and the faster decay of its spatial derivatives of higher order is also described.     

On a non‐stationary fluid flow problem in an infinite periodic pipe

We study linearized, non‐stationary Navier–Stokes type equations with the given flux in an infinite pipe periodic of period length L with respect to . The existence and uniqueness of the solution is proved. Moreover, the convergence of the solution in a finite pipe of length to the L‐periodic solution as is investigated.     

The stationary three‐dimensional Navier–Stokes equations with a non‐zero constant velocity at infinity

This paper is devoted to some mathematical questions related to the three‐dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations. Our approach is based on a combination of properties of Oseen problems in ?³. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence of a weak solution to the Navier–Stokes equation in a general time‐varying domain by the Rothe method

We assume that Ω^t is a domain in ?³, arbitrarily (but continuously) varying for 0?t?T. We impose no conditions on smoothness or shape of Ω^t. We prove the global in time existence of a weak solution of the Navier–Stokes equation with Dirichlet's homogeneous or inhomogeneous boundary condition in Q_{[0, T)} := {( x , t);0?t?T, x ∈Ω^t}. The solution satisfies the energy‐type inequality and is weakly continuous in dependence of time in a certain sense. As particular examples, we consider flows around rotating bodies and around a body striking a rigid wall. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A remark on free boundary problem of 1‐D compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution of the one‐dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density‐dependent viscosity µ(ρ)=ρ^θ with θ∈(0, γ?2], γ>1. The initial data are a perturbation of a corresponding steady solution and continuously contact with vacuum on the free boundary. The obtained results apply for the one‐dimensional Siant–Venant model of shallow water and generalize ones in (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 2006; 182: 223–253).

Analysis of newton multilevel stabilized finite volume method for the three‐dimensional stationary Navier‐Stokes equations

This article proposes and analyzes a multilevel stabilized finite volume method(FVM) for the three‐dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations approximated by the lowest equal‐order finite element pairs. The method combines the new stabilized FVM with the multilevel discretization under the assumption of the uniqueness condition. The multilevel stabilized FVM consists of solving the nonlinear problem on the coarsest mesh and then performs one Newton correction step on each subsequent mesh thus only solving one large linear systems. The error analysis shows that the multilevel‐stabilized FVM provides an approximate solution with the convergence rate of the same order as the usual stabilized finite element solution solving the stationary Navier–Stokes equations on a fine mesh for an appropriate choice of mesh widths: h_j ～ h_j‐1², j = 1,…,J. Therefore, the multilevel stabilized FVM is more efficient than the standard one‐level‐stabilized FVM. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2013     

Vanishing viscosity limit for the 3D nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with a slip boundary condition

In this paper, we investigate the vanishing viscosity limit for the 3D nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with a slip boundary condition. We establish the local well‐posedness of the strong solutions for initial boundary value problems for such systems. Furthermore, the vanishing viscosity limit process is established, and a strong rate of convergence is obtained as the boundary of the domain is flat. In addition, it is needed to add some additional condition for density to match well the boundary condition. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Ritz–Galerkin method for solving a parabolic equation with non‐local and time‐dependent boundary conditions

The paper is devoted to the investigation of a parabolic partial differential equation with non‐local and time‐dependent boundary conditions arising from ductal carcinoma in situ model. Approximation solution of the present problem is implemented by the Ritz–Galerkin method, which is a first attempt at tackling parabolic equation with such non‐classical boundary conditions. In the process of dealing with the difficulty caused by integral term in non‐local boundary condition, we use a trick of introducing the transition function G(x,t) to convert non‐local boundary to another non‐classical boundary, which can be handled with the Ritz–Galerkin method. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique in this paper. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the existence of weak solutions to the equations of non‐stationary motion of heat‐conducting incompressible viscous fluids

This paper is concerned with the equations of non‐stationary motion in 3D of heat‐conducting incompressible viscous fluids with temperature‐dependent viscosity. The conservation of internal energy includes the usual dissipation term. We prove the existence of a ‘weak solution with defect measure’ to the system of PDEs under consideration. Our method of proof is based on a regularization of the equations of conservation of momentum. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the domain dependence of solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations of a two‐dimensional compressible flow

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations for compressible, barotropic flow in two space dimensions, with pressure satisfying p(?)=a?log^d(?) for large ?, here d>1 and a>0. After introducing useful tools from the theory of Orlicz spaces, we prove a compactness result for the solution set of the equations with respect to the variation of the underlying bounded spatial domain. Especially, we get a general existence theorem for the system in question with no restrictions on smoothness of the bounded spatial domain. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stability and convergence of optimum spectral non‐linear Galerkin methods

Our objective in this article is to present some numerical schemes for the approximation of the 2‐D Navier–Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions, and to study the stability and convergence of the schemes. Spatial discretization can be performed by either the spectral Galerkin method or the optimum spectral non‐linear Galerkin method; time discretization is done by the Euler scheme and a two‐step scheme. Our results show that under the same convergence rate the optimum spectral non‐linear Galerkin method is superior to the usual Galerkin methods. Finally, numerical example is provided and supports our results. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

On stationary two‐dimensional flows around a fast rotating disk

We study the two‐dimensional stationary Navier–Stokes equations describing flows around a rotating disk. The existence of unique solutions is established for any rotating speed, and qualitative effects of a large rotation are described precisely by exhibiting a boundary layer structure and an axisymmetrization of the flow.     

A stability of the steady flow of compressible viscous fluid with respect to initial disturbance (v∞ ≠ 0)

We consider a compressible viscous fluid with the velocity at infinity equal to a strictly non‐zero constant vector in ?³. Under the assumptions on the smallness of the external force and velocity at infinity, Novotny–Padula (Math. Ann. 1997; 308 :439– 489) proved the existence and uniqueness of steady flow in the class of functions possessing some pointwise decay. In this paper, we study stability of the steady flow with respect to the initial disturbance. We proved that if H³‐norm of the initial disturbance is small enough, then the solution to the non‐stationary problem exists uniquely and globally in time, which satisfies a uniform estimate on prescribed velocity at infinity and converges to the steady flow in L_q‐norm for any number q? 2.

Navier–Stokes equations with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions in a convex bi-dimensional domain

We prove the existence of a weak solution to Navier–Stokes equations describing the isentropic flow of a gas in a convex and bounded region, ΩR², with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions on ∂Ω. These results are also extended to flow domain surrounding an obstacle.     

Blow‐up of the smooth solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper, we will firstly extend the results about Jiu, Wang, and Xin (JDE, 2015, 259, 2981–3003). We prove that any smooth solution of compressible fluid will blow up without any restriction about the specific heat ratio γ. Then we prove the blow‐up of smooth solution of compressible Navier–Stokes equations in half space with Navier‐slip boundary. The main ideal is constructing the differential inequality.
