Bifurcating periodic solutions of wind-driven circulation equations

The existence of bifurcating periodic flows in a quasi-geostrophic mathematical model of wind-driven circulation is investigated. In the model, the Ekman number r and Reynolds number R control the stability of the motion of the fluid. Through rigorous analysis it is proved that when the basic steady-state solution is independent of the Ekman number, then a spectral simplicity condition is sufficient to ensure the existence of periodic solutions branching off the basic steady-state solution as the Ekman number varies across its critical value for constant Reynolds number. When the basic solution is a function of Ekman number, an additional condition is required to ensure periodic solutions.     

Multiplicity and stability of time-periodic solutions of Ginzburg-Landau equations of superconductivity

In this article we shall show that the Ginzburg-Landau equations admit at least three time-periodic solutions. One of the time-periodic solutions describes the non-superconductive (or normal) state and the other one describes the superconductivity state. We will also show that the time-periodic solutions are exponentially stable. Furthermore, the method we use in this article can be used to find numerical approximations to the time-periodic solutions.     

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.     

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.     

Global existence of solutions for compressible Navier-Stokes equations with vacuum

In this paper, we will investigate the global existence of solutions for the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations when the density is in contact with vacuum continuously. More precisely, the viscosity coefficient is assumed to be a power function of density, i.e., μ(ρ)=Aρθ, where A and θ are positive constants. New global existence result is established for 0<θ<1 when the initial density appears vacuum in the interior of the gas, which is the novelty of the presentation.     

Analytical solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for non-Newtonian fluid

The pressureless Navier-Stokes equations for non-Newtonian fluid are studied. The analytical solutions with arbitrary time blowup, in radial symmetry, are constructed in this paper. With the previous results for the analytical blowup solutions of the N-dimensional （N ≥ 2） Navier-Stokes equations, we extend the similar structure to construct an analytical family of solutions for the pressureless Navier-Stokes equations with a normal viscosity term （μ（ρ）｜ u｜^α u）.     

A regularity criterion for the solutions of 3D Navier-Stokes equations

In terms of two partial derivatives of any two components of velocity fields, we give a new criterion for the regularity of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in R³. More precisely, let u=(u¹,u²,u³) be a weak solution in (0,T)×R³. Then u becomes a classical solution if any two functions of _∂1u¹, _∂2u² and _∂3u³ belong to Lθ(0,T;Lr(R³)) provided with , .     

On the blowing up of solutions to one-dimensional quantum Navier-Stokes equations

The blow-up in finite time for the solutions to the initial-boundary value problem associated to the one-dimensional quantum Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain is proved. The model consists of the mass conservation equation and a momentum balance equation, including a nonlinear third-order differen- tial operator, with the quantum Bohm potential, and a density-dependent viscosity. It is shown that, under suitable boundary conditions and assumptions on the initial data, the solution blows up after a finite time, if the viscosity constant is not bigger than the scaled Planck constant. The proof is inspired by an observable constructed by Gamba, Gualdani and Zhang, which has been used to study the blowing up of solutions to quantum hydrodynamic models.     

Weak and strong solutions for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global weak solutions for any β?1, global strong solution for any β?7/2 and that the strong solution is unique for any 7/2?β?5.     

Self-similar Solutions of the Navier–Stokes Equations on Weak Weighted Lorentz Spaces

In the present paper, we prove the existence of global solutions for the Navier–Stokes equations in Rnwhen the initial velocity belongs to the weighted weak Lorentz space Λn,∞(u) with a sufficiently small norm under certain restriction on the weight u. At the same time, self-similar solutions are induced if the initial velocity is, besides, a homogeneous function of degree-1. Also the uniqueness is discussed.     

Regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations near the boundary

We present some new regularity criteria for “suitable weak solutions” of the Navier-Stokes equations near the boundary in dimension three. We prove that suitable weak solutions are Hölder continuous up to the boundary provided that the scaled mixed norm with 3/p+2/q?2, 2<q?∞, (p,q)≠(3/2,∞) is small near the boundary. Our methods yield new results in the interior case as well. Partial regularity of weak solutions is also analyzed under some additional integral conditions.     

Existence and decay of solutions in full space to Navier-Stokes equations with delays

We consider the Navier-Stokes equations with delays in Rⁿ,2≤n≤4. We prove existence of weak solutions when the external forces contain some hereditary characteristics and uniqueness when n=2. Moreover, if the external forces satisfy a time decay condition we show that the solution decays at an algebraic rate.     

Ill-posedness of the Navier-Stokes equations in a critical space in 3D

We prove that the Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is ill-posed in in the sense that a “norm inflation” happens in finite time. More precisely, we show that initial data in the Schwartz class S that are arbitrarily small in can produce solutions arbitrarily large in after an arbitrarily short time. Such a result implies that the solution map itself is discontinuous in at the origin.

Nonlocal overdetermined boundary value problem for stationary Navier-Stokes equations

A stationary system of Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations describing the flow of a homogeneous incompressible fluid in a bounded domain is considered. The vector of the flow velocity and a finite number of nonlocal conditions are defined at a part of the domain boundary. It is proved that, in the linear case, the problem has at least one stable solution. In the nonlinear case, the local solvability of the problem is proved.     

Convergence of compressible Navier-Stokes-Maxwell equations to incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

The combined quasi-neutral and non-relativistic limit of compressible Navier-Stokes-Maxwell equations for plasmas is studied. For well-prepared initial data, it is shown that the smooth solution of compressible Navier-Stokes-Maxwell equations converges to the smooth solution of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations by introducing new modulated energy functional.     

Dimension splitting method for the three dimensional rotating Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we propose a dimensional splitting method for the three dimensional (3D) rotating Navier-Stokes equations. Assume that the domain is a channel bounded by two surfaces and is decomposed by a series of surfaces ■i into several sub-domains, which are called the layers of the flow. Every interface i between two sub-domains shares the same geometry. After establishing a semi-geodesic coordinate (S-coordinate) system based on ■i , Navier-Stoke equations in this coordinate can be expressed as the sum of two operators, of which one is called the membrane operator defined on the tangent space on ■i , another one is called the bending operator taking value in the normal space on ■i . Then the derivatives of velocity with respect to the normal direction of the surface are approximated by the Euler central difference, and an approximate form of Navier-Stokes equations on the surface ■i is obtained, which is called the two-dimensional three-component (2D-3C) Navier-Stokes equations on a two dimensional manifold. Solving these equations by alternate iteration, an approximate solution to the original 3D Navier-Stokes equations is obtained. In addition, the proof of the existence of solutions to 2D-3C Navier-Stokes equations is provided, and some approximate methods for solving 2D-3C Navier-Stokes equations are presented.

This paper is concerned with the regularity criterion of Leray-Hopf weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with respect to Serrin type condition on two velocity filed components. It is shown that the weak solution u=(u₁,u₂,u₃) is regular on (0,T] if there exist two solution components, for example, u₂ and u₃, satisfying the condition

Regularity criterion of axisymmetric weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations

We consider the regularity of axisymmetric weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in R³. Let u be an axisymmetric weak solution in R³×(0,T), w=curlu, and wθ be the azimuthal component of w in the cylindrical coordinates. Chae-Lee [D. Chae, J. Lee, On the regularity of axisymmetric solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, Math. Z. 239 (2002) 645-671] proved the regularity of weak solutions under the condition wθ∈Lq(0,T;Lr), with , . We deal with the marginal case r=∞ which they excluded. It is proved that u becomes a regular solution if .
