We study the zero-viscosity limit of free boundary Navier-Stokes equations with surface tension in $\mathbb{R}^3$ thus extending the work of Masmoudi and Rousset [1] to take surface tension into account. Due to the presence of boundary…

We provide an unconditional $L^2$ upper bound for the boundary layer separation of Leray-Hopf solutions in a smooth bounded domain. By layer separation, we mean the discrepancy between a (turbulent) low-viscosity Leray-Hopf solution $u^\nu$…
