Stationary Solutions of Compressible Navier–Stokes Equations with Slip Boundary Conditions

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations for a compressible, viscous fluid with heat–conduction in a bounded domain of IR² or IR³. Under the assumption that the external force field and the external heat supply are small we prove the existence and local uniqueness of a stationary solution satisfying a slip boundary condition. For the temperature we assume a Dirichlet or an oblique boundary condition.     

Blow-up of Compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg Equations

Based on the results of Xin (Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 51(3):229–240, 1998), Zhang and Tan (Acta Math. Sin. Engl. Ser. 28(3):645–652, 2012), we show the blow-up phenomena of smooth solutions to the non-isothermal compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg equations in arbitrary dimensions, under the assumption that the initial density has compact support. Here the coefficients are generalized to a more general case which depends on density and temperature. Our work extends the previous corresponding results.     

Stability of Rarefaction Waves to the 1D Compressible Navier–Stokes Equations with Density-Dependent Viscosity

In this paper, we study the asymptotic stability of rarefaction waves for the compressible isentropic Navier–Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity. First, a weak solution around a rarefaction wave to the Cauchy problem is constructed by approximating the system and regularizing the initial values which may contain vacuum states. Then some global in time estimates on the weak solution are obtained. Based on these uniform estimates, the vacuum states are shown to vanish in finite time and the weak solution we constructed becomes a unique strong one. Consequently, the stability of the rarefaction wave is proved in a weak sense. The theory holds for large-amplitudes rarefaction waves and arbitrary initial perturbations.     

L p -Estimates for the Navier–Stokes Equations for Steady Compressible Flow

We consider the Navier–Stokes equations for compressible isentropic flow in the steady three-dimensional case. The pressure and the kinetic energy are estimated uniformly in L^q with being the density. This is an improvement of known estimates in the case Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 35Q30, 76N10     

Existence of Viscous Profiles for the Compressible Navier—Stokes Equations

In this article we show the existence of some particular solutions of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations called viscous profiles. The existence of such solutions provides an entropy criterion. The crucial point in the demonstration is the use of the center manifold theorem, and the main difficulty comes from the non-invertibility of the viscosity matrix in the Navier—Stokes equations.     

A Note on Time-Decay Estimates for the Compressible Navier–Stokes Equations

In the recent work, we have developed a decay framework in general L~p critical spaces and established optimal time-decay estimates for barotropic compressible Navier–Stokes equations. Those decay rates of L~q-L~r type of the solution and its derivatives are available in the critical regularity framework, which were exactly firstly observed by Matsumura Nishida, and subsequently generalized by Ponce for solutions with high Sobolev regularity. We would like to mention that our approach is likely to be effective for other hyperbolic/parabolic systems that are encountered in fluid mechanics or mathematical physics. In this paper, a new observation is involved in the high frequency, which enables us to improve decay exponents for the high frequencies of solutions.     

Compressible Navier–Stokes approximation to the Boltzmann equation

Even though the system of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations is not a limiting system of the Boltzmann equation when the Knudsen number tends to zero, it is the second order approximation by applying the Chapman–Enskog expansion. The purpose of this paper is to justify this approximation rigorously in mathematics. That is, if the difference between the initial data for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations and the Boltzmann equation is of the second order of the Knudsen number, so is the difference between two solutions for all time. The analysis is based on a refined energy method for a fluid-type system using the techniques for the system of viscous conservation laws.     

Stability by rescaled weak convergence for the Navier–Stokes equations

We study a weak stability problem for the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes system: if a sequence (u_0,n)_n∈N${(u_{0,n})}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of initial data, bounded in some scaling invariant space, converges weakly to an initial data u₀$u_0$ which generates a global regular solution, does u_0,n$u_{0,n}$ generate a global regular solution? Because of the invariances of the Navier–Stokes equations, a positive answer in general to this question would imply global regularity for any data, so we introduce a new concept of weak convergence (rescaled weak convergence) under which we are able to give a positive answer. The proof relies on profile decompositions in anisotropic spaces and their propagation by the Navier–Stokes equations.     

New Exact Solutions of the Navier–Stokes Equations for Axisymmetric Automodel Flows of Fluids

We investigate self-similar solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations for the axisymmetric flow of a viscous incompressible fluid. The original equations are transformed by the Slezkin method. On the basis of analysis of physical properties of the flow and the Slezkin general equation, we show that, in parallel with the known solutions of this equation, there exist several other solutions with physical meaning. We consider the simplest case of irrotational flows for which current lines may be circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. Unlike the Landau and Squire solutions, these flows are interpreted as nonjet flows of fluid flowing into and out of a homogeneous porous axially symmetric body.     

Partial Regularity for Solutions of the Modified Navier―Stokes Equations

The initial boundary-value problem for the modified NavierStokes equations is considered in the case of homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under some assumptions, partial regularity for its solution is proved. It is shown that Hausdorff's dimension of the set of singular points is not greater than three. Bibliography: 8 titles.     

Large time behavior of the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes–Maxwell system

In this paper, we study the large time behavior of the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes–Maxwell system introduced by Jiang and Li (Nonlinearity 25(6):1735–1752, 2012) in the whole space \({{\mathbb{R}}^3}\) when the initial data are a small perturbation of some given constant state. We obtain the desired result through taking the refined analysis on the time decay property and Green’s function of the linearized system. Moreover, we also obtain the optimal time rate of the solution.     

Stability of viscous shock wave under periodic perturbation for compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system

In this paper, we study the stability of a viscous shock wave for the isentropic Navier–Stokes–Korteweg (N-S-K) equations under space-periodic perturbation. It is shown that if the initial perturbation around the shock and the amplitude of the shock are small, then the solution of the N-S-K equations tends to the viscous shock.     

Anelastic Approximation as a Singular Limit of the Compressible Navier–Stokes System

Considering compressible Navier–Stokes system in a slab geometry in the regime when both Mach and Froude numbers vanish at the same rate, we study the behavior of corresponding weak solutions, that are known to exist globally-in-time (for large data). We establish their convergence to a solution of the so-called anelastic approximation when the limit flow is stratified, i.e., the limit density depends effectively on the vertical coordinate.     

Global Solutions of Multidimensional Approximate Navier–Stokes Equations of a Viscous Gas

Considering the simplified Navier–Stokes equations for the motion of a viscous gas under the adherence condition, we define a weak solution and prove an existence theorem by means of a priori estimates.     

Low Mach number limit of the full compressible Navier–Stokes–Maxwell system

This paper deals with the low Mach number limit of the full compressible Navier–Stokes–Maxwell system. It is justified rigorously that, for the well-prepared initial data, the solutions of the full compressible Navier–Stokes–Maxwell system converge to that of the incompressible Navier–Stokes–Maxwell system as the Mach number tends to zero.
