For steady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes flows with a single eddy (i.e. nested closed streamlines) in a simply connected domain, Prandtl (1905) and Batchelor (1956) found that in the inviscid limit, the vorticity is constant inside the…
The transition from laminar to turbulent fluid motion occurring at large Reynolds numbers is generally associated with the instability of the laminar flow. On the other hand, since the turbulent flow characteristically appears in the form…
Many viscous liquids behave effectively as incompressible under high pressures but display a pronounced dependence of viscosity on pressure. The classical incompressible Navier-Stokes model cannot account for both features, and a simple…
