State-constrained optimal control of the three-dimensional stationary Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, an optimal control problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in the presence of state constraints is investigated. Existence of optimal solutions is proved and first order necessary conditions are derived. The regularity of the adjoint state and the state constraint multiplier is also studied. Lipschitz stability of the optimal control, state and adjoint variables with respect to perturbations is proved and a second order sufficient optimality condition for the case of pointwise state constraints is stated.     

Hemivariational inequalities for stationary Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we study a class of inequality problems for the stationary Navier-Stokes type operators related to the model of motion of a viscous incompressible fluid in a bounded domain. The equations are nonlinear Navier-Stokes ones for the velocity and pressure with nonstandard boundary conditions. We assume the nonslip boundary condition together with a Clarke subdifferential relation between the pressure and the normal components of the velocity. The existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to the model are proved by using a surjectivity result for pseudomonotone maps. We also establish a result on the dependence of the solution set with respect to a locally Lipschitz superpotential appearing in the boundary condition.     

A regularity criterion for the solutions of 3D Navier-Stokes equations

In terms of two partial derivatives of any two components of velocity fields, we give a new criterion for the regularity of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in R³. More precisely, let u=(u¹,u²,u³) be a weak solution in (0,T)×R³. Then u becomes a classical solution if any two functions of _∂1u¹, _∂2u² and _∂3u³ belong to Lθ(0,T;Lr(R³)) provided with , .     

Some properties of a class of abstract stationary equations

We study a class of abstract nonlinear equations in a separable Hilbert space for which we prove some generic properties of the set of solutions. The results apply, in particular, in several models of hydrodynamics, such as magneto-micropolar equations, micropolar fluid equations, Boussinesq and Navier–Stokes equations.     

Partial regularity for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations

The effects of random forces on the emergence of singularities in the Navier-Stokes equations are investigated. In spite of the presence of white noise, the paths of a martingale suitable weak solution have a set of singular points of one-dimensional Hausdorff measure zero. Furthermore statistically stationary solutions with finite mean dissipation rate are analysed. For these stationary solutions it is proved that at any time the set of singular points is empty. The same result holds true for every martingale solution starting from -a.e. initial condition , where is the law at time zero of a stationary solution. Finally, the previous result is non-trivial when the noise is sufficiently non-degenerate, since for any stationary solution, the measure is supported on the whole space of initial conditions.

     

Nonlocal overdetermined boundary value problem for stationary Navier-Stokes equations

A stationary system of Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations describing the flow of a homogeneous incompressible fluid in a bounded domain is considered. The vector of the flow velocity and a finite number of nonlocal conditions are defined at a part of the domain boundary. It is proved that, in the linear case, the problem has at least one stable solution. In the nonlinear case, the local solvability of the problem is proved.     

Weighted estimates for stationary Navier-Stokes equations

We show Morrey-type estimates for the weak solution of the periodic Navier-Stokes equations in dimensionN, 5 <N < 10. ForN < 8, we prove the existence of a maximum solution.     

Some results on the Navier-Stokes equations in connection with the statistical theory of stationary turbulence

Some rigorous results connected with the conventional statistical theory of turbulence in both the two- and three-dimensional cases are discussed. Such results are based on the concept of stationary statistical solution, related to the notion of ensemble average for turbulence in statistical equilibrium, and concern, in particular, the mean kinetic energy and enstrophy fluxes and their corresponding cascades. Some of the results are developed here in the case of nonsmooth boundaries and a less regular forcing term and for arbitrary stationary statistical solutions.     

Analysis of multiscale finite element method for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

A blow-up criterion for classical solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we obtain a blow-up criterion for classical solutions to the 3-D compressible Navier-Stokes equations just in terms of the gradient of the velocity, analogous to the Beal-Kato-Majda criterion for the ideal incompressible flow. In addition, the initial vacuum is allowed in our case.     

A Liouville theorem for the axially-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations

Let v(x,t)=vrer+vθeθ+vzez be a solution to the three-dimensional incompressible axially-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations. Denote by b=vrer+vzez the radial-axial vector field. Under a general scaling invariant condition on b, we prove that the quantity Γ=rvθ is Hölder continuous at r=0, t=0. As an application, we prove that the ancient weak solutions of axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations must be zero (which was raised by Koch, Nadirashvili, Seregin and Sverak (2009) in [15] and Seregin and Sverak (2009) in [26] as a conjecture) under the condition that b∈L^∞([0,T],BMO−1). As another application, we prove that if b∈L^∞([0,T],BMO−1), then v is regular.     

The convergence of non-Newtonian fluids to Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, the convergence of solutions for incompressible dipolar viscous non-Newtonian fluids is investigated. We obtain the conclusion that the solutions of non-Newtonian fluids converge to the solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in the sense of L²-norm (resp. H¹-norm), as the viscosities tend to zero and the initial data belong to H¹(Ω) (resp. H²(Ω)). Moreover, we obtain L^∞-norm convergence of solutions if the initial data belong to H²(Ω).     

On the Navier problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations

The Navier problem is to find a solution of the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations such that the normal component of the velocity and a linear combination of the tangential components of the velocity and the traction assume prescribed value a and s at the boundary. If Ω is exterior it is required that the velocity converges to an assigned constant vector u₀ at infinity. We prove that a solution exists in a bounded domain provided ‖a_‖L²(∂Ω) is less than a computable positive constant and is unique if ‖a_‖W1/2,2(∂Ω)+‖s_‖L²(∂Ω) is suitably small. As far as exterior domains are concerned, we show that a solution exists if ‖a_‖L²(∂Ω)+‖a−u₀⋅n_‖L²(∂Ω) is small.

Martingale and stationary solutions for stochastic Navier-Stokes equations

Summary We prove the existence of martingale solutions and of stationary solutions of stochastic Navier-Stokes equations under very general hypotheses on the diffusion term. The stationary martingale solutions yield the existence of invariant measures, when the transition semigroup is well defined. The results are obtained by a new method of compactness.
