Two dimensional incompressible ideal flow around a small obstacle

چکیده
In this article we study the asymptotic behavior of incompressible, ideal, timedependent two dimensional flow in the exterior of a single smooth obstacle when the size of the obstacle becomes very small. Our main purpose is to identify the equation satisfied by the limit flow. We will see that the asymptotic behavior depends on γ, the circulation around the obstacle. For smooth flow around a single obstacle, γ is a conserved quantity which is determined by the initial data. We will show that if γ = 0, the limit flow satisfies the standard incompressible Euler equations in the full plane but, if γ 6= 0, the limit equation acquires an additional forcing term. We treat this problem by first constructing a sequence of approximate solutions to the incompressible 2D Euler equation in the full plane from the exact solutions obtained when solving the equation on the exterior of each obstacle and then passing to the limit on the weak formulation of the equation. We use an explicit treatment of the Green’s function of the exterior domain based on conformal maps, a priori estimates obtained by carefully examining the limiting process and the Div-Curl Lemma, together with a standard weak convergence treatment of the nonlinearity for the passage to the limit.

Vanishing Viscosity Limit for Incompressible Flow around a Sufficiently Small Obstacle
In this article we consider viscous flow in the exterior of an obstacle satisfying the standard no-slip boundary condition at the surface of the obstacle. We look for conditions under which solutions of the NavierStokes system in the exterior domain converge to solutions of the Euler system in the full space when both viscosity and the size of the obstacle vanish. We prove that this convergence...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Incompressible Viscous Flow around a Small Obstacle
In this work we study the asymptotic behavior of viscous incompressible 2D flow in the exterior of a small material obstacle. We fix the initial vorticity ω0 and the circulation γ of the initial flow around the obstacle. We prove that, if γ is sufficiently small, the limit flow satisfies the full-plane Navier-Stokes system, with initial vorticity ω0 + γδ, where δ is the standard Dirac measure. ...
متن کاملAugmented Stabilized Formulations with Fictitious Boundary Methods
Augmentation of the SUPS formulation was introduced earlier and successfully applied to solving incompressible NavierStokes equations for both two dimensional and three dimensional problems. Fictitious boundary methods (FBM) is a new methodology that aid the study of flow descriptions around solid obstacles on fixed Cartesian product grids that do not require body confirming meshes. FBM has bee...
