On a problem for the Navier–Stokes equations with the infinite Dirichlet integral

We study existence of global in time solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in a two dimensional domain with an unbounded boundary. The problem is considered with slip boundary conditions involving nonzero friction. The main result shows a new L-bound on the vorticity. A key element of the proof is the maximum principle for a reformulation of the problem. Under some restrictions on the curvature of the boundary and the friction the result for large data (including flux) with the infinite Dirichlet integral is obtained.     

Solving the Dirichlet problem for Navier–Stokes equations by probabilistic approach

We construct a number of layer methods for Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs) with no-slip boundary conditions. The methods are obtained using probabilistic representations of solutions to NSEs and exploiting ideas of the weak sense numerical integration of stochastic differential equations. Despite their probabilistic nature, the proposed methods are nevertheless deterministic.     

On the local solvability of free boundary problem for the Navier–Stokes equations

We consider the problem of evolution of a finite isolated mass of a viscous incompressible liquid with a free surface. We assume that the initial configuration of the liquid hasn arbitrary shape, the initial free boundary possesses a certain regularity and the initial velocity satisfies only natural compatibility and regularity conditions (but its smallness is not assumed). We prove that this problem is well posed, i.e., we construct a local in time solution belonging to some Sobolev–Slobodetskii spaces. We expect that this result can be helpful for the analysis of more complicated problems, for instance, problems of magnetohydrodynamics. Bibliography: 9 titles.     

On the homogenization principle in a time-periodic problem for the Navier–Stokes equations with rapidly oscillating mass force

We study the behavior of the set of time-periodic solutions of the three-dimensional system of Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain as the frequency of the oscillations of the right-hand side tends to infinity. It is established that the set of periodic solutions tends to the solution set of the homogenized stationary equation.     

A mixed problem for the steady Navier–Stokes equations

We consider a mixed boundary problem for the Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded Lipschitz two-dimensional domain: we assign a Dirichlet condition on the curve portion of the boundary and a slip zero condition on its straight portion. We prove that the problem has a solution provided the boundary datum and the body force belong to a Lebesgue’s space and to the Hardy space respectively.     

On the Dirichlet–Riquier problem for biharmonic equations

In the paper, it is proved that the distribution of a measurable polynomial on an infinite-dimensional space with log-concave measure is absolutely continuous if the polynomial is not equal to a constant almost everywhere. A similar assertion is proved for analytic functions and for some other classes of functions. Properties of distributions of norms of polynomial mappings are also studied. For the space of measurable polynomial mappings of a chosen degree, it is proved that the L ¹-norm with respect to a log-concave measure is equivalent to the L ¹-norm with respect to the restriction of the measure to an arbitrarily chosen set of positive measure.     

Existence of solutions for a class of Navier–Stokes equations with infinite delay

In this paper, a class of Navier–Stokes equations with infinite delay is considered. It includes delays in the convective and the forcing terms. We discuss the existence of mild and classical solutions for the problem. We establish the results for an abstract delay problem by using the fact that the Stokes operator is the infinitesimal generator of an analytic semigroup of bounded linear operators. Finally, we apply these abstract results to our particular situation.     

On a model for the Navier–Stokes equations using magnetization variables

It is known that in a classical setting, the Navier–Stokes equations can be reformulated in terms of so-called magnetization variables w that satisfy

(1)${?}_{t}w+(\mathbb{P}w?\mathrm{?})w+{(\mathrm{?}\mathbb{P}w)}^{?}w?\mathrm{\Delta }w=0,$

and relate to the velocity u via a Leray projection $u=\mathbb{P}w$. We will prove the equivalence of these formulations in the setting of weak solutions that are also in $L^{\infty }(0,T;H^{1/2})\cap L^2(0,T;H^{3/2})$ on the 3-dimensional torus.Our main focus is the proof of global well-posedness in $H^{1/2}$ for a new variant of (1), where $\mathbb{P}w$ is replaced by w in the second nonlinear term:

(2)${?}_{t}w+(\mathbb{P}w?\mathrm{?})w+\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{?}|w{|}^2?\mathrm{\Delta }w=0.$

This is based on a maximum principle, analogous to a similar property of the Burgers equations.     

On the penalty-projection method for the Navier–Stokes equations with the MAC mesh

We deal with the time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations (NSE) with Dirichlet boundary conditions on the whole domain or, on a part of the domain and open boundary conditions on the other part. It is shown numerically that combining the penalty-projection method with spatial discretization by the Marker And Cell scheme (MAC) yields reasonably good results for solving the above-mentioned problem. The scheme which has been introduced combines the backward difference formula of second-order (BDF2, namely Gear’s scheme) for the temporal approximation, the second-order Richardson extrapolation for the nonlinear term, and the penalty-projection to split the velocity and pressure unknowns. Similarly to the results obtained for other projection methods, we estimate the errors for the velocity and pressure in adequate norms via the energy method.     

On unbiased stochastic Navier–Stokes equations

A random perturbation of a deterministic Navier?CStokes equation is considered in the form of an SPDE with Wick type nonlinearity. The nonlinear term of the perturbation can be characterized as the highest stochastic order approximation of the original nonlinear term ${u{\nabla}u}$ . This perturbation is unbiased in that the expectation of a solution of the perturbed equation solves the deterministic Navier?CStokes equation. The perturbed equation is solved in the space of generalized stochastic processes using the Cameron?CMartin version of the Wiener chaos expansion. It is shown that the generalized solution is a Markov process and scales effectively by Catalan numbers.
