We study the statistics of the vorticity field in two-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence with a linear Ekman friction. We show that the small-scale vorticity fluctuations are intermittent, as conjectured by Nam et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett.…

Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative of the velocity field is infinite at any point of a field of flow (or, in an evolving flow, becomes infinite at any point within a finite time). Such singularities can…
We are concerned with the existence and uniqueness issue for the inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with H^1 initial velocity and only bounded nonnegative density. In contrast with all the previous works on…

We use density--functional theory to study the structure of two-dimensional defects inside a circular nematic nanocavity. The density, nematic order parameter, and director fields, as well as the defect core energy and core radius, are…
We consider the 3D isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscousities and vacuum. The degenerate viscosities $\mu(\rho)$ and $\lambda(\rho)$ are proportional to some power of density, while the powers of density in…

We consider cascade models of turbulence which are obtained by restricting the Navier-Stokes equation to local interactions. By combining the results of the method of extended self-similarity and a novel subgrid model, we investigate the…
We consider a sedimenting suspension in a Stokes flow, in the presence of a vertical wall. We study the effect of a particle-depleted fluid layer near the wall on the bulk dynamics of the suspension. We show that this effect can be captured…
We study spatial analyticity properties of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations and obtain new growth rate estimates for the analyticity radius. We also study stability properties of strong global solutions of the Navier-Stokes…
These notes are dedicated to the analysis of the one-dimensional free-congested Navier-Stokes equations. After a brief synthesis of the results obtained in [4] related to the existence and the asymptotic stability of partially congested…
When speaking of unsolved problems in physics, this is surprising at first glance to discuss the case of fluid mechanics. However, there are many deep open questions that come with the theory of fluid mechanics. In this paper, we discuss…
An efficient numerical scheme based on the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) and marker and cell scheme (MAC) is constructed for the Navier-Stokes equations. A particular feature of the scheme is that the nonlinear term is treated explicitly…
This paper is concerned with a fluid-particle system given by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the Vlasov(-Fokker-Planck) equation through a drag force. Such a model arises naturally in the study of aerosols, sprays,…
We consider the motion of a rigid body, governed by the Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain. Navier's condition is prescribed on the boundary of the body. We give the global in a time solvability result of weak solution. The result…

A crucial issue in fluid dynamics is related to the knowledge of the fluid pressure. A new general pressure equation is derived from compressible Navier-Stokes equation. It is argued that this new pressure equation allows unifying…
Viscous diffusion can broaden the rapidity dependence of two-particle transverse momentum fluctuations. Surprisingly, measurements at RHIC by the STAR collaboration demonstrate that this broadening is accompanied by the appearance of…
