Pullback attractors of 2D incompressible Navier‐Stokes‐Voight equations with delay

In this paper, the 2D Navier‐Stokes‐Voight equations with 3 delays in is considered. By using the Faedo‐Galerkin method, Lions‐Aubin lemma, and Arzelà‐Ascoli theorem, we establish the global well‐posedness of solutions and the existence of pullback attractors in H¹.     

The large time behavior of solutions to 3D Navier–Stokes equations with nonlinear damping

This paper studies the Cauchy problem of the 3D Navier–Stokes equations with nonlinear damping term | u | ^β?1u (β ≥ 1). For β ≥ 3, we derive a decay rate of the L²‐norm of the solutions. Then, the large time behavior is given by comparing the equation with the classic 3D Navier–Stokes equations. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global existence of weak solution to Navier–Stokes equations with large external force and general pressure

We study the 3‐D compressible Navier–Stokes equations with an external potential force and a general pressure. We prove the global‐in‐time existence of weak solutions with small‐energy initial data and with densities being positive and essentially bounded. No smallness assumption is made on the external force. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the existence and regularity of solutions to the Stokes and Oseen equations with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions with low regularity. We consider boundary conditions for which the normal component is not equal to zero. We rewrite the Stokes and the Oseen equations in the form of a system of two equations. The first one is an evolution equation satisfied by Pu, the projection of the solution on the Stokes space – the space of divergence free vector fields with a normal trace equal to zero – and the second one is a quasi-stationary elliptic equation satisfied by (I−P)u, the projection of the solution on the orthogonal complement of the Stokes space. We establish optimal regularity results for Pu and (I−P)u. We also study the existence of weak solutions to the three-dimensional instationary Navier–Stokes equations for more regular data, but without any smallness assumption on the initial and boundary conditions.     

Pullback Dynamics of 2D Non-autonomous Navier-Stokes Equations with Klein-Voight Damping and Multi-delays

This paper is concerned with the pullback dynamics of 2D non-autonomous Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations with continuous and distributed delays on bounded domain. Under some regular assumptions on initial and delay data, the existence of evolutionary process and the family of pullback attractors for this fluid flow model with Klein-Voight damping are derived. The regular assumption of external force is less than [1].

Sufficient conditions for the regularity of the solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper we find sufficient conditions, involving only the pressure, that ensure the regularity of weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations. Conditions involving only the pressure were previously obtained in [7,4]. Following a remark in this last reference we improve, in particular, Kaniel's result [7]. Our condition can be seen at the light of the heuristic idea that the pressure behaves similarly to the modulus squared of the velocity. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A note on integration of the Navier–Stokes equations

In this study the 2D Navier–Stokes equations are used to obtain a new self-similar equation. The latter equation, subject to appropriate boundary conditions and volume discharge, describes the pressure distribution and velocity field of a plane free jet.     

Asymptotic behavior for the Navier–Stokes equations in 2D exterior domains

We show that the L^p spatial–temporal decay rates of solutions of incompressible flow in an 2D exterior domain. When a domain has a boundary, pressure term makes an obstacle since we do not have enough information on the pressure term near the boundary. To overcome the difficulty, we adopt the ideas in He, Xin [C. He, Z. Xin, Weighted estimates for nonstationary Navier–Stokes equations in exterior domain, Methods Appl. Anal. 7 (3) (2000) 443–458], and our previous results [H.-O. Bae, B.J. Jin, Asymptotic behavior of Stokes solutions in 2D exterior domains, J. Math. Fluid Mech., in press; H.-O. Bae, B.J. Jin, Temporal and spatial decay rates of Navier–Stokes solutions in exterior domains, submitted for publication]. For the spatial decay rate estimate, we first extend temporal decay rate result of the Navier–Stokes solutions for general L^p space when the initial velocity is in , 1<rq<∞ (1<r<q=∞).     

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.     

On the regularity criterion for the solutions of 3D Navier–Stokes equations in weak multiplier spaces

In this work, we improved the regularity criterion on the Cauchy problem for the Navier–Stokes equations in multiplier space in terms of the two partial derivatives of velocity fields, ?₁u₁ and ?₂u₂. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

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.     

Navier–Stokes equations with degenerate viscosity,vacuum and gravitational force

The global existence of weak solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with vacuum attracts many research interests nowadays. For the isentropic gas, the viscosity coefficient depends on density function from physical point of view. When the density function connects to vacuum continuously, the vacuum degeneracy gives some analytic difficulties in proving global existence. In this paper, we consider this case with gravitational force and fixed boundary condition. By giving a series of a priori estimates on the solution coping with the degeneracy of vacuum, gravitational force and boundary effect, we give global existence and uniqueness results similar to the case without force and boundary.

The D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with partial hyperdissipation

The three‐dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with the hyperdissipation always possess global smooth solutions when . Tao [6] and Barbato, Morandin and Romito [1] made logarithmic reductions in the dissipation and still obtained the global regularity. This paper makes a different type of reduction in the dissipation and proves the global existence and uniqueness in the H¹‐functional setting.     

On the existence of finite energy weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations in irregular domains

This paper studies the existence of weak solutions of the Navier–Stokes system defined on a certain class of domains in ?³ that may contain cusps. The concept of such a domain and weak energy solution for the system is defined and its existence is proved. However, thinness of cusps must be related to the adiabatic constant appearing in the pressure law. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Feedback boundary stabilization of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equations

We study the local stabilization of the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations around an unstable stationary solution w, by means of a feedback boundary control. We first determine a feedback law for the linearized system around w. Next, we show that this feedback provides a local stabilization of the Navier–Stokes equations. To deal with the nonlinear term, the solutions to the closed loop system must be in H^{3/2+ε,3/4+ε/2}(Q), with 0<ε. In [V. Barbu, I. Lasiecka, R. Triggiani, Boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations, Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 852 (2006); V. Barbu, I. Lasiecka, R. Triggiani, Abstract settings for tangential boundary stabilization of Navier–Stokes equations by high- and low-gain feedback controllers, Nonlinear Anal. 64 (2006) 2704–2746], such a regularity is achieved with a feedback obtained by minimizing a functional involving a norm of the state variable strong enough. In that case, the feedback controller cannot be determined by a well posed Riccati equation. Here, we choose a functional involving a very weak norm of the state variable. The compatibility condition between the initial state and the feedback controller at t=0, is achieved by choosing a time varying control operator in a neighbourhood of t=0.     

A remark on the decay of solutions to the 3‐D Navier–Stokes equations

In this paper we derive a decay rate of the L²‐norm of the solution to the 3‐D Navier–Stokes equations. Although the result which is proved by Fourier splitting method is well known, our method is new, concise and direct. Moreover, it turns out that the new method established here has a wide application on other equations. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The stability of rarefaction wave for Navier–Stokes equations in the half‐line

This paper studies the stability of the rarefaction wave for Navier–Stokes equations in the half‐line without any smallness condition. When the boundary value is given for velocity u∥_{x = 0} = u_? and the initial data have the state (v₊, u₊) at x→ + ∞, if u_?<u₊, it is excepted that there exists a solution of Navier–Stokes equations in the half‐line, which behaves as a 2‐rarefaction wave as t→ + ∞. Matsumura–Nishihara have proved it for barotropic viscous flow (Quart. Appl. Math. 2000; 58:69–83). Here, we generalize it to the isentropic flow with more general pressure.
