A Priori Bounds for the Vorticity of Axis Symmetric Solutions to the Navier-stokes Equations

چکیده
We obtain a pointwise, a priori bound for the vorticity of axis symmetric solutions to the 3 dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The bound is in the form of a reciprocal of a power of the distance to the axis of symmetry. This seems to be the first general pointwise estimate established for the axis symmetric Navier-Stokes equations.

A comparative study between two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
The present study aimed to investigate two numerical solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. For this purpose, the mentioned flow equations were written in two different formulations, namely (i) velocity-pressure and (ii) vorticity-stream function formulations. Solution algorithms and boundary conditions were presented for both formulations and the efficiency of each formulation was investiga...
متن کاملOn the Cauchy problem for axi-symmetric vortex rings
We consider the classical Cauchy problem for the 3d Navier-Stokes equation with the initial vorticity ω0 concentrated on a circle, or more generally, a linear combination of such data for circles with common axis of symmetry. We show that natural approximations of the problem obtained by smoothing the initial data satisfy good a-priori estimates which enable us to conclude that the original pro...
متن کاملOn the regularity of the axisymmetric solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations
Weobtain improved regularity criteria for the axisymmetricweak solutions of the three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with nonzero swirl. In particular we prove that the integrability of single component of vorticity or velocity fields, in terms of norms with zero scaling dimension give sufficient conditions for the regularity of weak solutions. To obtain these criteria we derive new a prio...

In this study, a numerical solution of 2D steady incompressible lid-driven cavity flow is presented. Three different numerical schemes were employed to make a comparison on the practicality of the methods. An alternating direction implicit scheme for the vorticity-stream function formulation, explicit and implicit schemes for the primitive variable formulation of governing Navier-Stokes equatio...
متن کاملHelically Symmetric Solutions to the 3-D Navier-Stokes Equations for Compressible Isentropic Fluids
Abstract: We prove the existence of global weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations for compressible isentropic fluids for any γ > 1 when the Cauchy data are helically symmetric, where the constant γ is the specific heat ratio. Moreover, a new integrability estimate of the density in any neighborhood of the symmetry axis (the singularity axis) is obtained.
