A variational approach to the Navier-Stokes equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a time discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations inspired by the theory of gradient flows. This discretization produces Leray/Hopf solutions in any dimension and suitable solutions in dimension 3. We also show that in dimension 3 and for initial datum in H, the scheme converges to strong solutions in some interval [0, T ) and, if the datum satisfies the classical smallness condition, it produces the smooth solution in [0,∞).

Optimization with the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations as constraints
In this paper, optimal distributed control of the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations is considered. The control problem involves the minimization of a measure of the distance between the velocity field and a given target velocity field. A mixed numerical method involving a quasi-Newton algorithm, a novel calculation of the gradients and an inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes solver, to find the opt...

The thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two complete missile configurations on an IBM 3090-200 vectro-facility supercomputer. The conservation form of the three-dimensional equations, written in generalized coordinates, are finite differenced and solved on a body-fitted curvilinear grid system developed in conjunction with the flowfield solver. The numerical procedure is based on ...

Abstract. In the following paper, we present a consistent Newton-Schur solution approach for variational multiscale formulations of the time-dependent Navier–Stokes equations in three dimensions. The main contributions of this work are a systematic study of the variational multiscale method for three-dimensional problems, and an implementation of a consistent formulation suitable for large prob...

In this paper we study stopping time and impulse control problems for stochastic Navier-Stokes equation. Exploiting a local monotonicity property of the nonlinearity, we establish existence and uniqueness of strong solutions in two dimensions which gives a Markov-Feller process. The variational inequality associated with the stopping time problem and the quasi-variational inequality associated ...
متن کاملA 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...

In this paper we study the variational principle for the Navier-Stokes equation described in [Gom05], and clarify the role of boundary conditions. We show that in certain special cases this variational principle gives rise to new models for fluid equations.
