Abstract

We consider the problem of the stability of the Navier-Stokes equations in T×R+\mathbb{T}\times \mathbb{R}_+ near shear flows which are linearly unstable for the Euler equation. In \cite{greniernguyen}, the authors prove an LL^{\infty} instability result for the no-slip boundary condition which also denies the validity of the Prandtl boundary layer expansion. In this paper, we generalise this result to a Navier slip boundary condition with viscosity dependent slip length: yu=νγu\partial_y u =\nu^{-\gamma}u at y=0y=0, where γ>1/2\gamma >1/2. This range includes the physical slip rate γ=1\gamma=1.
