We study solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in the class $L^\infty_t C^\alpha_x$. Landau and Lifshitz [LL87] predicted that the Eulerian and Lagrangian temporal structure functions for turbulence exhibit $1/3$ and $1/2$ scaling laws,…

Lagrangian formalism is established for differential equations with special functions of mathematical physics as solutions. Formalism is based on either standard or non-standard Lagrangians. This work shows that the procedure of deriving…
The existence of superfluous solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space implies that not all solutions with uniformly locally bounded energy satisfy a useful local pressure expansion. We prove that every weak solution in a…
The structure of the Euler-Lagrange equations for a general Lagrangian theory is studied. For these equations we present a reduction procedure to the so-called canonical form. In the canonical form the equations are solved with respect to…

In this paper we propose a strategy to approximate incompressible hydrostatic free surface Euler and Navier-Stokes models. The main advantage of the proposed models is that the water depth is a dynamical variable of the system and hence the…
Convergence of particle systems to the Vlasov-Navier-Stokes equations is a difficult topic with only fragmentary results. Under a suitable modification of the classical Stokes drag force interaction, here a partial result in this direction…

Error estimates with optimal convergence orders are proved for a stabilized Lagrange-Galerkin scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations. The scheme is a combination of Lagrange-Galerkin method and Brezzi-Pitkaranta's stabilization method. It…

In this paper we show the existence of stochastic Lagrangian particle trajectory for Leray's solution of 3D Navier-Stokes equations. More precisely, for any Leray's solution ${\mathbf u}$ of 3D-NSE and each…
We consider the Euler-Voigt equations and the Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations, which are obtained by an inviscid alpha-regularization from the corresponding equations. The main result we show is the structural stability of the system in term…
