Exact solutions of the Euler equations for some two-dimensional incompressible flows

Two-dimensional (plane and axisymmetric) steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid are considered in a potential field of external forces. An elliptic partial differential equation is obtained such that each of its solutions is a stream function of a flow described by a certain solution of the Euler equations. Examples of such new exact solutions are given. These solutions can be used, in particular, for testing numerical algorithms and computer programs.     

Asymptotic behaviour of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations of a two-dimensional compressible flow

In this paper,we are concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of a weak solution to the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible barotropic flow in two space dimensions with the pressure function satisfying p(e) = a log d(e) for large .Here d > 2,a > 0.We introduce useful tools from the theory of Orlicz spaces and construct a suitable function which approximates the density for time going to infinity.Using properties of this function,we can prove the strong convergence of the density to its limit state.The behaviour of the velocity field and kinetic energy is also briefly discussed.     

Analytic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

We consider the time dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on an half plane. For analytic initial data, existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved using the Abstract Cauchy-Kovalevskaya Theorem in Banach spaces. The time interval of existence is proved to be independent of the viscosity.     

Exact solutions for the Cauchy problem to the 3D spherically symmetric incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this article, we establish exact solutions to the Cauchy problem for the 3D spherically symmetric incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and further study the existence and asymptotic behavior of solution.     

Analytical study of the two-dimensional time-fractional Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, the two-dimensional (2D) Holf-Cole transformation with mass conservation in the frame of conformable derivative is developed, and then by introducing some exact solutions that satisfy linear differential equations and using the symbolic computation method, four exact solutions of 2D-nonlinear Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs) with the conformable time-fractional derivative are established. Some physical properties of the exact solutions are described preliminarily. Our results are the first ones on analytical study for the 2D time-fractional NSEs.     

Three-dimensional blow-up solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we extend the plane blow-up results of Grundy& McLaughlin (1997) to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations.Using a solution structure originally due to Lin we first providenumerical evidence for the existence of blow-up solutions on- < x, z < , 0 y 1 with boundary conditions on y = 0and y = 1 involving derivatives of the velocity components.The formulation enables us to consider plane and radial flowas special cases. Various features of the computations are isolatedand are used to construct a formal asymptotic solution closeto blow-up. We show that the numerical and asymptotic analysesprovide a mutually consistent global picture which supportsthe conclusion that, for the family of problems we considerhere, blow-up in fact can take place in three dimensions butat an inverse linear rate rather than the faster inverse squareof the plane case.     

Spectral-finite element method for solving three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations

This paper is devoted to the combined Fourier spectral and finite element approximations of three-dimensional, semi-periodic, unsteady Navier-Stokes equations. Fourier spectral method and finite element method are employed in the periodic and non-periodic directions respectively. A class of fully discrete schemes are constructed with artificial compression. Strict error estimations are proved. The analysis shows also that the classical two-dimensional velocity-pressure elements can be readily extended to solving such three-dimensional semi-periodic problems, provided they satisfy the two-dimensional “inf-suf” condition.     

Analysis of a sequential regularization method for the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations

The incompressibility constraint makes Navier-Stokes equations difficult. A reformulation to a better posed problem is needed before solving it numerically. The sequential regularization method (SRM) is a reformulation which combines the penalty method with a stabilization method in the context of constrained dynamical systems and has the benefit of both methods. In the paper, we study the existence and uniqueness for the solution of the SRM and provide a simple proof of the convergence of the solution of the SRM to the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. We also give error estimates for the time discretized SRM formulation.

     

Uniqueness of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

Consider the Navier-Stokes equation with the initial data a ∈ L _σ ²(ℝ ^d ). Let u and v be two weak solutions with the same initial value a. If u satisfies the usual energy inequality and if ∇v ∈ L ²((0, T); (ℝ ^d ) ^d ) where (ℝ ^d ) is the multiplier space, then we have u = v.     

On exact boundary zero-controlability of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations

For two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations defined in a bounded domain Ω and for an arbitrary initial vector field, we construct the boundary Dirichlet condition that is tangent to the boundary ?Ω of Ω and satisfies the property: the solutionυ(t, x) of the mentioned boundary-value problem equals zero at a certain finite time momentT. Moreover, $$\parallel x(t, \cdot )\parallel _{L_2 (\Omega )} \leqslant c\exp \left( {\tfrac{{ - k}}{{(T - t)^2 }}} \right)ast \to T,$$ wherec > 0,k > 0 constants.     

Time periodic solutions of compressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we study the Navier-Stokes equations with a time periodic external force in Rn. We show that a time periodic solution exists when the space dimension n?5 under some smallness assumption. The main idea is to combine the energy method and the spectral analysis for the optimal decay estimates on the linearized solution operator. With the optimal decay estimates, we prove the existence and uniqueness of time periodic solution in some suitable function space by the contraction mapping theorem. In addition, we also study the time asymptotic stability of the time periodic solution.     

Exact solutions ofG-invariant chiral equations

A method is suggested for solving the chiral equations (αg,zg ⁻¹),ˉz+(αg,ˉzg ⁻¹),z=0, whereg belongs to some Lie groupG. The solution is written out in terms of harmonic maps. The method can be used even for some infinite-dimensional Lie groups. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 58, No. 5, pp. 710–716, November, 1995.

Self-similar solutions to the isothermal compressible Navier-Stokes equations

^** Email: guo_zhenhua{at}iapcm.ac.cn^*** Email: jiang{at}iapcm.ac.cn We investigate the self-similar solutions to the isothermalcompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The aim of thispaper is to show that there exist neither forward nor backwardself-similar solutions with finite total energy. This generalizesthe results for the incompressible case in Neas, J., Rika, M.& verák, V. (1996, On Leray's self-similar solutionsof the Navier-Stokes equations. Acta. Math., 176, 283–294),and is consistent with the (unproved) existence of regular solutionsglobally in time for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations.     

Special global regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

Ezistence results for global regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations, which are close either to two-dimensional or to axially symmetric solutions are presented. Slip boundary conditions are assumed. Moreover, the domains considered are either cylindrical or axially symmetric. Problems with and without inflow-outflow are examined. All proofs can be divided into two steps; (1) long time existence established either by the Leroy Schauder fixed point theorem or by the method of successive approximations; (2) global existence proved by prolongation of a local solution with respcct to time, Bibliography: 32 titles. I dedicate this paper to Vsevolod Alekseevich Solonnikov, the great mathematician and my teacher Published in Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov POMI, Vol. 362, 2008, pp. 120–152.
