We construct solutions for the Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions with a time periodic force which is of compact support in a frame that moves at constant speed. These solutions are related to solutions of the problem of a body which moves within an incompressible fluid at constant speed and rotates around an axis which is aligned with the motion. In contrast to other authors who anala...

We show that the classical Cauchy problem for the incompressible 3d Navier-Stokes equations with (−1)-homogeneous initial data has a global scale-invariant solution which is smooth for positive times. Our main technical tools are local-in-space regularity estimates near the initial time, which are of independent interest.

We prove uniform existence results for the full Navier-Stokes equations for time intervals which are independent of the Mach number, the Reynolds number and the Péclet number. We consider general equations of state and we give an application for the low Mach number limit combustion problem introduced by Majda in [18].

A tentative suggestion is made that the flatness of the velocity derivative could reach an infinite value at finite (though very large) Reynolds number, with possible implications for the singularities of the Navier–Stokes equations. A direct test of this suggestion requires measurements at Reynolds numbers presently outside the experimental capacity, so an alternative suggestion that can be te...

We present a block preconditioner for LDG discretizations of Stokes equations. The dependence of its performance on the discretization parameters is investigated. An extension to Oseen equations is shown, yielding efficient and robust solvers in a wide regime of Reynolds numbers.

We give a condition for the periodic, three dimensional, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to be globally wellposed. This condition is not a smallness condition on the initial data, as the data is allowed to be arbitrarily large in the scale invariant space B ∞,∞, which contains all the known spaces in which there is a global solution for small data. The smallness condition is rather a non...

This is a survey of some recent results on the existence of globally defined weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations of a viscous compressible fluid with a general barotropic pressure-density relation.

We prove the global well-posedness and regularity of the (isotropic) Lagrangian averaged Navier{Stokes (LANS-¬ ) equations on a three-dimensional bounded domain with a smooth boundary with no-slip boundary conditions for initial data in the set fu 2 Hs \H1 0 j Au = 0 on @« ; div u = 0g, s 2 [3; 5), where A is the Stokes operator. As with the Navier{Stokes equations, one has parabolic-type regul...

Usually the Stokes equations that govern a flow in a smooth thin domain (with thickness of order ε) are related to the Reynolds equation for the pressure psmooth. In this paper, we show that for a rough thin domain (with rugosities of order ε) the flow is governed by a modified Reynolds equation for a pressure prough. Moreover we find the relation prough = K psmooth where K is an explicit coeff...
