Improved theoretical model for wavy filmwise condensation

This paper presents a numerical solution for wavy laminar film-wise condensation on vertical walls. Integral method is achieved based on the recently developed simple wave equations. Solutions are obtained for ranges of dimensionless groups as follows: $$1.5 \leqslant \left( {Pr = \frac{{^{\mu C} p}}{k}} \right) \leqslant 6.0$$ $$10 \leqslant \left( {G = \frac{{^h fg}}{{^{C_p \Delta T} }}} \right) \leqslant 400$$ $$100 \leqslant \left( {S = \left( {\frac{{\sigma ^2 \rho }}{{g_\rho \mu ^4 }}} \right)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 5}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 5}} } \right) \leqslant 400$$ $$1000 \leqslant \left( {L = \frac{{{\rm H}_t }}{{^\delta cr}}} \right) \leqslant 10000$$ . Such ranges cover the expected situations in industrial applications. It is found that the Reynolds number (Re=h_LΔTH_t/h_fg) is a linear function of L on the log-log plane. It is also relatively insensitive to small variations of Pr at high values of this number. At situations where G less than 200 the Re appears to be dependent on S. Agreement with experimental observation is improved over that obtained from previous analytical theories.     

Finite-dimensional asymptotic behavior of some semilinear damped hyperbolic problems

We prove that the solution semigroup $$S_t \left[ {u_0 ,v_0 } \right] = \left[ {u(t),u_t (t)} \right]$$ generated by the evolutionary problem $$\left\{ P \right\}\left\{ \begin{gathered} u_{tt} + g(u_t ) + Lu + f(u) = 0, t \geqslant 0 \hfill \\ u(0) = u_0 , u_t (0) = \upsilon _0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ possesses a global attractorA in the energy spaceE _o=V×L ²(Ω). Moreover,A is contained in a finite-dimensional inertial setA attracting bounded subsets ofE ₁=D(L)×V exponentially with growing time.     

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Invertibility of the Nonlinear Difference Operator \left( {\mathcal{D}x} \right)\left( t \right) = x\left( {t + 1}\right) - f\left( {x\left( t \right)} \right) in the Space of Functions Bounded and Continuous on the Axis

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the nonlinear difference operator $\left( {\mathcal{D}x} \right)\left( t \right) = x\left( {t + 1} \right) - f\left( {x\left( t \right)} \right)$ $t \in \mathbb{R}$ , where $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function, to have the inverse in the space of functions bounded and continuous on $\mathbb{R}$ .     

Modified dissipativity for a non-linear evolution equation arising in turbulence

We are concerned with the regularity properties for all times of the equation $$\frac{{\partial U}}{{\partial t}}\left( {t,x} \right) = - \frac{{\partial ^2 }}{{\partial x^2 }}\left[ {U\left( {t,{\text{0}}} \right) - U\left( {t,x} \right)} \right]^2 - v\left( { - \frac{{\partial ^2 }}{{\partial x^2 }}} \right)^\alpha U\left( {t,x} \right)$$ which arises, with α=1, in the theory of turbulence. Here U(t,·) is of positive type and the dissipativity α is a non-negative real number. It is shown that for arbitrary ν≧0 and ?>0, there exists a global solution in \(L^\infty [0,\infty ;H^{\tfrac{3}{2} - \varepsilon } (\mathbb{R})]\) . If ν>0 and \(\alpha > \alpha _{cr} = \tfrac{1}{2}\) , smoothness of initial data persists indefinitely. If 0≦α<α _cr, there exist positive constants ν₁(α) and ν₂(α), depending on the data, such that global regularity persists for ν>ν₁(α), whereas, for 0≦ν<ν₂(α), the second spatial derivative at the origin blows up after a finite time. It is conjectured that with a suitable choice of α _cr, similar results hold for the Navier-Stokes equation.     

C 1 Solutions for Semi-Implicit Systems of Differential Equations

The present note is a continuation of the author??s effort to study the existence of continuously differentiable solutions to the semi-implicit system of differential equations (1) $$f(x^{\prime}(t)) = g(t, x(t))$$ (2) $$\quad x(0) = x_0,$$ where

${\quad\Omega_g \subseteq \mathbb{R} \times\mathbb{R}^n}$ is an open set containing (0, x ₀) and ${g:\Omega_g \rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n}$ is a continuous function,

${\quad\Omega_f \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n}$ is an open set and ${f:\Omega_f\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n}$ is a continuous function.

The transformation of (1)?C(2) into a solvable explicit system of differential equations is trivial if f is locally injective around an element ${\gamma\in \Omega_f\cap f^{-1}(g(0,x_0))}$ . In this paper, we study (1)?C(2) when such a translation is not possible because of the inherent multivalued nature of f ^?1.     

A well posed problem in singular Fickian diffusion

We prove that the problem of solving $$u_t = (u^{m - 1} u_x )_x {\text{ for }} - 1< m \leqq 0$$ with initial conditionu(x, 0)=φ(x) and flux conditions at infinity \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } u^{m - 1} u_x = - f(t),\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - \infty } u^{m - 1} u_x = g(t)\) , admits a unique solution \(u \in C^\infty \{ - \infty< x< \infty ,0< t< T\} \) for every φεL¹(R), φ≧0, φ≡0 and every pair of nonnegative flux functionsf, g ε L _loc ^∞ [0, ∞) The maximal existence time is given by $$T = \sup \left\{ {t:\smallint \phi (x)dx > \int\limits_0^t {[f} (s) + g(s)]ds} \right\}$$ This mixed problem is ill posed for anym outside the above specified range.     

Regularity and Asymptotic Behavior of Nonlinear Stefan Problems

We study the following nonlinear Stefan problem $$\left\{\begin{aligned}\!\!&u_t\,-\,d\Delta u = g(u) & &\quad{\rm for}\,x\,\in\,\Omega(t), t > 0, \\ & u = 0 \, {\rm and} u_t = \mu|\nabla_{x} u|^{2} &&\quad {\rm for}\,x\,\in\,\Gamma(t), t > 0, \\ &u(0, x) = u_{0}(x) &&\quad {\rm for}\,x\,\in\,\Omega_0,\end{aligned} \right.$$ where ${\Omega(t) \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}}$ ( ${n \geqq 2}$ ) is bounded by the free boundary ${\Gamma(t)}$ , with ${\Omega(0) = \Omega_0}$ , μ and d are given positive constants. The initial function u ₀ is positive in ${\Omega_0}$ and vanishes on ${\partial \Omega_0}$ . The class of nonlinear functions g(u) includes the standard monostable, bistable and combustion type nonlinearities. We show that the free boundary ${\Gamma(t)}$ is smooth outside the closed convex hull of ${\Omega_0}$ , and as ${t \to \infty}$ , either ${\Omega(t)}$ expands to the entire ${\mathbb{R}^n}$ , or it stays bounded. Moreover, in the former case, ${\Gamma(t)}$ converges to the unit sphere when normalized, and in the latter case, ${u \to 0}$ uniformly. When ${g(u) = au - bu^2}$ , we further prove that in the case ${\Omega(t)}$ expands to ${{\mathbb R}^n}$ , ${u \to a/b}$ as ${t \to \infty}$ , and the spreading speed of the free boundary converges to a positive constant; moreover, there exists ${\mu^* \geqq 0}$ such that ${\Omega(t)}$ expands to ${{\mathbb{R}}^n}$ exactly when ${\mu > \mu^*}$ .     

Effects of periodic forcing on delayed bifurcations

This work is concerned with the rigorous analysis of the effects of small periodic forcing (perturbations) on the dynamical systems which present some interesting phenomena known as delayed bifurcations. We study the dynamical behavior of the system (0.1) $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}} = f\left( {u, I_i + \varepsilon t} \right) + \varepsilon g\left( {u, I_i + \varepsilon t, \varepsilon , t} \right) \hfill \\ \left. {u\left( t \right)} \right|_{t = 0} = u_0 \left( {I_i } \right) + O\left( \varepsilon \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereu ₀(I) is the solution off(u ₀(I), I)=0 andI(t)=I _i+εt is a slowly varying parameter that moves past a critical pointI_ of the system so that the linear stability aroundu ₀(I) changes from stable to unstable atI_. General results are given with respect to the effects of the perturbation εg(u,I(t),ε, t) to several important types of dynamical systems (0.2) $$\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}} = f\left( {u,I_i + \varepsilon t} \right)$$ which present dynamical patterns that there exist persistent unstable solutions in the dynamical systems (delayed bifurcations) in contrast to bifurcations in the classical sense. It is shown that (1) the delayed bifurcations persist if the frequency ofg(…,…,…,t) ont is a constantΩ which is not a resonant frequency; (2) in case the frequency ofg(…,…,…,t) ont isΩ=Ω(I _i+εt) that is slowly varying, the resonance frequencies where the delayed bifurcations might be destructed are shifted downward or upward depending onΩ′(I_)>0 orΩ′(I_)<0; and (3) delayed pitchfork (simple eigenvalue) bifurcations occur in a codimension one parameter family of periodic perturbations. (1) is a rigorous analysis of the results in [3], (2) is a new and interesting phenomenon, and (3) is a generalization of the results of Diener [8] and Schecter [19].     

A connection formula for the second Painlevé transcendent

We consider the second Painlevé transcendent $$\frac{{d^2 y}}{{dx^2 }} = xy + 2y^3 .$$ It is known that if y(x) ～ k Ai (x) as x → + ∞, where ?1<k<1 and Ai (x) denotes Airy's function, then $$y(x) \sim d|x|^{ - \tfrac{1}{4}} sin\{ \tfrac{2}{3}|x|^{\tfrac{3}{2}} - \tfrac{3}{4}d^2 1n|x| - c\} ,$$ where the constants d, c depend on k. This paper shows that $$d^2 = \pi ^{ - 1} 1n(1 - k^2 )$$ , which confirms a conjecture by Ablowitz & Segur.     

Stabilization in a two-dimensional chemotaxis-Navier–Stokes system

This paper deals with an initial-boundary value problem for the system $$\left\{ \begin{array}{llll} n_t + u\cdot\nabla n &=& \Delta n -\nabla \cdot (n\chi(c)\nabla c), \quad\quad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\\ c_t + u\cdot\nabla c &=& \Delta c-nf(c), \quad\quad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\\ u_t + \kappa (u\cdot \nabla) u &=& \Delta u + \nabla P + n \nabla\phi, \qquad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\\ \nabla \cdot u &=& 0, \qquad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\end{array} \right.$$ which has been proposed as a model for the spatio-temporal evolution of populations of swimming aerobic bacteria. It is known that in bounded convex domains ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2}$ and under appropriate assumptions on the parameter functions χ, f and ?, for each ${\kappa\in\mathbb{R}}$ and all sufficiently smooth initial data this problem possesses a unique global-in-time classical solution. The present work asserts that this solution stabilizes to the spatially uniform equilibrium ${(\overline{n_0},0,0)}$ , where ${\overline{n_0}:=\frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_\Omega n(x,0)\,{\rm d}x}$ , in the sense that as t→∞, $$n(\cdot,t) \to \overline{n_0}, \qquad c(\cdot,t) \to 0 \qquad \text{and}\qquad u(\cdot,t) \to 0$$ hold with respect to the norm in ${L^\infty(\Omega)}$ .     

A hereditary partial differential equation with applications in the theory of simple fluids

The linearized boundary-initial history value problem for simple fluids obeying the Coleman-Noll constitutive equation $$S + p\delta = 2\int\limits_0^\infty {m(s)(E(t - s} ) - E(t))ds$$ is considered. Here S is the stress tensor, δ the Kronecker delta, p the constitutively indeterminate mean normal stress, E the infinitesimal strain tensor, and m(s) a material function. The shear relaxation modulus G is defined as (i) $$G(s) = \int\limits_\infty ^s {m(\xi )d\xi .}$$ In this paper it is shown that if G satisfies the assumptions (i) $$G \in C^2 [0,\infty ),{\text{ }}G(s) \to 0{\text{ as }}s \to \infty,$$ (ii) $$( - 1)^k \frac{{d^k G(s)}}{{ds^k }} > 0,{\text{ }}k = 0,1,$$ (iii) $$G''(s) \geqq 0,$$ then the rest state of the fluid is stable in an appropriate “fading memory” norm. The additional assumption (iv) $$ - \int\limits_0^\infty {G'} (s)s^2 ds < \infty$$ yields asymptotic stability.     

A Strategy to Locate Fixed Points and Global Perturbations of ODE’s: Mixing Topology with Metric Conditions

In this paper we discuss a topological treatment for the planar system 0.1 $$\begin{aligned} z'=f(t,z)+g(t,z) \end{aligned}$$ where $f:\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^{2}\longrightarrow \mathbb {R}^{2}$ and $g:\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^{2}\longrightarrow \mathbb {R}^{2}$ are $T$ -periodic in time and $g(t,z)$ is bounded. Namely, we study the effect of $g(t,z)$ in two different frameworks: isochronous centers and time periodic systems having subharmonics. The main tool employed in the proofs consists of a topological strategy to locate fixed points in the class of orientation preserving embedding under the condition of some recurrence properties. Generally speaking, our topological result can be considered as an extension of the main result in Brown (Pac J Math 143:37–41, 1990) (concerning two cycles) to any recurrent point.     

A boundary value problem associated with the second painlevé transcendent and the Korteweg-de Vries equation

The differential equation considered is \(y'' - xy = y|y|^\alpha \) . For general positive α this equation arises in plasma physics, in work of De Boer & Ludford. For α=2, it yields similarity solutions to the well-known Korteweg-de Vries equation. Solutions are sought which satisfy the boundary conditions (1) y(∞)=0 (2) (1) $$y{\text{(}}\infty {\text{)}} = {\text{0}}$$ (2) $$y{\text{(}}x{\text{) \~( - }}\tfrac{{\text{1}}}{{\text{2}}}x{\text{)}}^{{{\text{1}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{1}} \alpha }} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} \alpha }} {\text{ as }}x \to - \infty $$ It is shown that there is a unique such solution, and that it is, in a certain sense, the boundary between solutions which exist on the whole real line and solutions which, while tending to zero at plus infinity, blow up at a finite x. More precisely, any solution satisfying (1) is asymptotic at plus infinity to some multiple kA i(x) of Airy's function. We show that there is a unique k^*(α) such that when k=k^*(α) the condition (2) is also satisfied. If 0 ^*, the solution exists for all x and tends to zero as x→-∞, while if k>k ^* then the solution blows up at a finite x. For the special case α=2 the differential equation is classical, having been studied by Painlevé around the turn of the century. In this case, using an integral equation derived by inverse scattering techniques by Ablowitz & Segur, we are able to show that k^*=1, confirming previous numerical estimates.     

Pressure drop in alternating curved tubes

Pressure drop measurements in the laminar and turbulent regions for water flowing through an alternating curved circular tube (x=h sin 2πz/λ) are presented. Using the minimum radius of curvature of this curved tube in place of that of the toroidally curved one in calculating the Dean number (ND=Re(D/2R _c )², it is found that the resulting Dean number can help in characterizing this flow. Also, the ratio between the height and length of the tube waves which represents the degree of waveness affects significantly the pressure drop and the transition Dean number. The following correlations have been found:

1. For laminar flow: $$F_w \left( {\frac{{2R_c }}{D}} \right)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} = F_s \left( {\frac{{2R_c }}{D}} \right)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + 0.03,\operatorname{Re}< 2000.$$
2. For turbulent flow: $$F_w \left( {\frac{{2R_c }}{D}} \right)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} = F_s \left( {\frac{{2R_c }}{D}} \right)^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} + 0.005,2000< \operatorname{Re}< 15000.$$
3. The transition Dean number: $$ND_{crit} = 5.012 \times 10^3 \left( {\frac{D}{{2R}}} \right)^{2.1} ,0.0111< {D \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {D {2R_c }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {2R_c }}< 0.71.$$

     

Remnant functions

Remnant functions are defined, with \(\kappa = \sigma + \tau + \tfrac{1}{2}\) , by $$R_{\sigma \tau } (z) = [{{\Gamma (\sigma - [\kappa ])} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\Gamma (\sigma - [\kappa ])} {\Gamma (\sigma )}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\Gamma (\sigma )}}]\sum\limits_{r = 1}^\infty {r^{2\tau } \left[\kern-0.15em\left[ {(r^2 + z)^{\sigma - 1} } \right]\kern-0.15em\right]_\kappa }$$ where \(\left[\kern-0.15em\left[ \right]\kern-0.15em\right]_\kappa\) denotes subtraction of sufficiently many terms of the Taylor series in powers of z to yield a convergent sum; for integral σ a factor \([1 + ({z \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {z {r^2 }}} \right. \kern-0em} {r^2 }})]\) may also enter. These functions arise in various contexts, in particular, in the calculation of uniform remainder terms for the approximation by integrals of sums with singular summands. Differential recurrence relations, Taylor expansions, and various integral representations are obtained. The full asymptotic expansions for ¦z¦→∞ with ¦arg z¦ <π are derived, and it is shown that for integral τ these converge exponentially fast.     

Generalized Flows Satisfying Spatial Boundary Conditions

In a region D in ${\mathbb{R}^2}$ or ${\mathbb{R}^3}$ , the classical Euler equation for the regular motion of an inviscid and incompressible fluid of constant density is given by $$\partial_t v+(v\cdot \nabla_x)v=-\nabla_x p, {\rm div}_x v=0,$$ where v(t, x) is the velocity of the particle located at ${x\in D}$ at time t and ${p(t,x)\in\mathbb{R}}$ is the pressure. Solutions v and p to the Euler equation can be obtained by solving $$\left\{\begin{array}{l} \nabla_x\left\{\partial_t\phi(t,x,a) + p(t,x)+(1/2)|\nabla_x\phi(t,x,a)|^2 \right\}=0\,{\rm at}\,a=\kappa(t,x),\\ v(t,x)=\nabla_x \phi(t,x,a)\,{\rm at}\,a=\kappa(t,x), \\ \partial_t\kappa(t,x)+(v\cdot\nabla_x)\kappa(t,x)=0, \\ {\rm div}_x v(t,x)=0, \end{array}\right. \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(0.1)$$ where $$\phi:\mathbb{R}\times D\times \mathbb{R}^l\rightarrow\mathbb{R}\,{\rm and}\, \kappa:\mathbb{R}\times D \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^l$$ are additional unknown mappings (l?≥ 1 is prescribed). The third equation in the system says that ${\kappa\in\mathbb{R}^l}$ is convected by the flow and the second one that ${\phi}$ can be interpreted as some kind of velocity potential. However vorticity is not precluded thanks to the dependence on a. With the additional condition κ(0, x)?=?x on D (and thus l?=?2 or 3), this formulation was developed by Brenier (Commun Pure Appl Math 52:411–452, 1999) in his Eulerian–Lagrangian variational approach to the Euler equation. He considered generalized flows that do not cross ${\partial D}$ and that carry each “particle” at time t?=?0 at a prescribed location at time t?=?T?>?0, that is, κ(T, x) is prescribed in D for all ${x\in D}$ . We are concerned with flows that are periodic in time and with prescribed flux through each point of the boundary ${\partial D}$ of the bounded region D (a two- or three-dimensional straight pipe). More precisely, the boundary condition is on the flux through ${\partial D}$ of particles labelled by each value of κ at each point of ${\partial D}$ . One of the main novelties is the introduction of a prescribed “generalized” Bernoulli’s function ${H:\mathbb{R}^l\rightarrow \mathbb{R}}$ , namely, we add to (0.1) the requirement that $$\partial_t\phi(t,x,a) +p(t,x)+(1/2)|\nabla_x\phi(t,x,a)|^2=H(a)\,{\rm at}\,a=\kappa(t,x)\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad(0.2)$$ with ${\phi,p,\kappa}$ periodic in time of prescribed period T?>?0. Equations (0.1) and (0.2) have a geometrical interpretation that is related to the notions of “Lamb’s surfaces” and “isotropic manifolds” in symplectic geometry. They may lead to flows with vorticity. An important advantage of Brenier’s formulation and its present adaptation consists in the fact that, under natural hypotheses, a solution in some weak sense always exists (if the boundary conditions are not contradictory). It is found by considering the functional $$(\kappa,v)\rightarrow \int\limits_{0}^T \int\limits_D\left\{\frac 1 2 |v(t,x)|^2+H(\kappa(t,x))\right\}dt\, dx$$ defined for κ and v that are T-periodic in t, such that $$\partial_t\kappa(t,x)+(v\cdot\nabla_x)\kappa(t,x)=0, {\rm div}_x v(t,x)=0,$$ and such that they satisfy the boundary conditions. The domain of this functional is enlarged to some set of vector measures and then a minimizer can be obtained. For stationary planar flows, the approach is compared with the following standard minimization method: to minimize $$\int\limits_{]0,L[\times]0,1[} \{(1/2)|\nabla \psi|^2+H(\psi)\}dx\,{\rm for}\,\psi\in W^{1,2}(]0,L[\times]0,1[)$$ under appropriate boundary conditions, where ψ is the stream function. For a minimizer, corresponding functions ${\phi}$ and κ are given in terms of the stream function ψ.     

Regularization of Point Vortices Pairs for the Euler Equation in Dimension Two

In this paper, we construct stationary classical solutions of the incompressible Euler equation approximating singular stationary solutions of this equation. This procedure is carried out by constructing solutions to the following elliptic problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{l@{\quad}l} -\varepsilon^2 \Delta u = \sum\limits_{i=1}^m \chi_{\Omega_i^{+}} \left(u - q - \frac{\kappa_i^{+}}{2\pi} {\rm ln} \frac{1}{\varepsilon}\right)_+^p\\ \quad - \sum_{j=1}^n \chi_{\Omega_j^{-}} \left(q - \frac{\kappa_j^{-}}{2\pi} {\rm \ln} \frac{1}{\varepsilon} - u\right)_+^p , \quad \quad x \in \Omega,\\ u = 0, \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad x \in \partial \Omega,\end{array}\right.$$ where p > 1, ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2}$ is a bounded domain, ${\Omega_i^{+}}$ and ${\Omega_j^{-}}$ are mutually disjoint subdomains of Ω and ${\chi_{\Omega_i^{+}} ({\rm resp}.\; \chi_{\Omega_j^{-}})}$ are characteristic functions of ${\Omega_i^{+}({\rm resp}. \;\Omega_j^{-}})$ , q is a harmonic function. We show that if Ω is a simply-connected smooth domain, then for any given C ¹-stable critical point of Kirchhoff–Routh function ${\mathcal{W}\;(x_1^{+},\ldots, x_m^{+}, x_1^{-}, \ldots, x_n^{-})}$ with ${\kappa^{+}_i > 0\,(i = 1,\ldots, m)}$ and ${\kappa^{-}_j > 0\,(j = 1,\ldots,n)}$ , there is a stationary classical solution approximating stationary m + n points vortex solution of incompressible Euler equations with total vorticity ${\sum_{i=1}^m \kappa^{+}_i -\sum_{j=1}^n \kappa_j^{-}}$ . The case that n = 0 can be dealt with in the same way as well by taking each ${\Omega_j^{-}}$ as an empty set and set ${\chi_{\Omega_j^{-}} \equiv 0,\,\kappa^{-}_j=0}$ .     

Incompressible 3D Navier–Stokes Equations as a Limit of a Nonlinear Parabolic System

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear parabolic system ${u^\epsilon_t - \Delta u^\epsilon + u^\epsilon \cdot \nabla u^\epsilon + \frac{1}{2}u^\epsilon\, {\rm div}\, u^\epsilon - \frac{1}{\epsilon}\nabla\, {\rm div}\, u^\epsilon = 0}$ in ${\mathbb {R}^3 \times (0,\infty)}$ with initial data in Lebesgue spaces ${L^2(\mathbb {R}^3)}$ or ${L^3(\mathbb {R}^3)}$ . We analyze the convergence of its solutions to a solution of the incompressible Navier?CStokes system as ${\epsilon \to 0}$ .
