Existence of global strong solutions for Navier–Stokes equations with external force

We consider the initial boundary value problems (IBVPs) for 1D isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients and external force. If the initial data is regular, the existence and uniqueness of global strong solution to IBVP are proved in this article.     

Existence and nonlinear stability of stationary solutions to the full compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system

This paper is concerned with the existence, uniqueness, and nonlinear stability of stationary solutions to the Cauchy problem of the full compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system effected by the given mass source, the external force of general form, and the energy source in R³${\mathbb{R}}^3$. Based on the weighted L²$L^2$-method and some delicate L^∞$L^{\infty }$ estimates on solutions to the linearized problem, the existence and uniqueness of stationary solution are obtained by the contraction mapping principle. The proof of the stability result is given by an elementary energy method and relies on some intrinsic properties of the full compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system.     

Existence and Regularity of the Pressure for the Stochastic Navier–Stokes Equations

We prove, on one hand, that for a convenient body force with values in the distribution space (H ^-1(D)) ^d , where D is the geometric domain of the fluid, there exist a velocity u and a pressure p solution of the stochastic Navier–Stokes equation in dimension 2, 3 or 4. On the other hand, we prove that, for a body force with values in the dual space V of the divergence free subspace V of (H ¹ ₀(D)) ^d , in general it is not possible to solve the stochastic Navier–Stokes equations. More precisely, although such body forces have been considered, there is no topological space in which Navier–Stokes equations could be meaningful for them.     

Asymptotic compactness of global trajectories generated by the Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations of a compressible fluid

In this paper, we consider the global behavior of weak solutions of Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations in time in a bounded domain–arbitrary forces. After proving the existence of bounded absorbing sets, we also obtain the conclusion on asymptotic compactness of global trajectories generated by the Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations of a compressible fluid.

Existence of weak solutions for the generalized Navier–Stokes equations with damping

In this work we consider the generalized Navier–Stokes equations with the presence of a damping term in the momentum equation. The problem studied here derives from the set of equations which govern isothermal flows of incompressible and homogeneous non-Newtonian fluids. For the generalized Navier–Stokes problem with damping, we prove the existence of weak solutions by using regularization techniques, the theory of monotone operators and compactness arguments together with the local decomposition of the pressure and the Lipschitz-truncation method. The existence result proved here holds for any ${q > \frac{2N}{N+2}}$ and any σ > 1, where q is the exponent of the diffusion term and σ is the exponent which characterizes the damping term.     

Blowup of solutions for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients

We study the blowup phenomena of solutions to the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefficients in arbitrary dimensions. By constructing a family of self-similar analytical solutions with spherical symmetry, some interesting information including the blowup and expanding properties are shown. In addition, the case of constant viscosity coefficients is also considered. The approach is based on the phase plane method.     

Time-discretized steady compressible Navier–Stokes equations with inflow and outflow boundaries

The time-discretized steady compressible Navier–Stokes equations in n-dimensional bounded domains with the velocity specified only at the inflow boundary are considered. The existence and uniqueness of L ^p solutions are proved for p > n. For time-discretized steady flows, results of Kweon and Kellogg and of Kweon and Song are extended in a manner that allows for more general domains and for density-dependent viscosity coefficients. Moreover, we only require p > n which is a critical barrier in the previous works.     

Quasi-neutral and zero-viscosity limits of Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations in the half-space

The present paper is concerned with the quasi-neutral and zero-viscosity limits of Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations in the half-space. We consider the Navier-slip boundary condition for velocity and Dirichlet boundary condition for electric potential. By means of asymptotic analysis with multiple scales, we construct an approximate solution of the Navier–Stokes–Poisson equations involving two different kinds of boundary layer, and establish the linear stability of the boundary layer approximations by conormal energy estimate.
