Abstract

Given a finite sequence of times 0<t1<...<tN0<t_1<...<t_N, we construct an example of a smooth solution of the free nonstationnary Navier--Stokes equations in Rd\R^d, d=2,3d=2,3, such that: (i) The velocity field u(x,t)u(x,t) is spatially poorly localized at the beginning of the evolution but tends to concentrate until, as the time tt approaches t1t_1, it becomes well-localized. (ii) Then uu spreads out again after t1t_1, and such concentration-diffusion phenomena are later reproduced near the instants t2t_2, t3t_3, ...
