We investigate the global regularity problem for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations restricted to axisymmetric flows in a finite cylinder $D = \{(r,\theta,x_3): 0 \le r \le 1, 0 \le \theta < 2\pi, 0 \le x_3 \le…
We establish the vanishing viscosity limit of the Navier-Stokes equations to the isentropic Euler equations for one-dimensional compressible fluid flow. For the Navier-Stokes equations, there exist no natural invariant regions for the…
We consider the steady-state Navier-Stokes equation in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^3$ driven by a forcing function $f$. The class of source functions $f$ under consideration yield the existence of at least one solution with finite Dirichlet…
There is renewed interest in the question of whether the Navier-Stokes equations (NSE), one of the fundamental models of classical physics and widely used in engineering applications, are actually self-consistent. After recalling the…
In this article, we consider Leray solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the exterior of one obstacle in 3D and we study the asymptotic behavior of these solutions when the obstacle shrinks to a curve or to a surface. In particular,…

To our knowledge, the convex integration method has been widely applied to the study of non-uniqueness of solutions to the Naiver-Stokes equations in the periodic region, but there are few works on applying this method to the corresponding…
For the initial boundary value problem of compressible barotropic Navier-Stokes equations in one-dimensional bounded domains with general density-dependent viscosity and large external force, we prove that there exists a unique global…
We consider the equations of Navier-Stokes modeling viscous fluid flow past a moving or rotating obstacle in $\mathbb{R}^d$ subject to a prescribed velocity condition at infinity. In contrast to previously known results, where the…
In fluid dynamics, an interface splash singularity occurs when a locally smooth interface self-intersects in finite time. By means of elementary arguments, we prove that such a singularity cannot occur in finite time for vortex sheet…
The so-called 'direct' approach to separation of variables in linear PDEs is applied to the hydrodynamic stability problem. Calculations are made for the complete linear stability equations in cylindrical coordinates. Several classes of the…
In this paper, we investigate the incompressible steady Navier-Stokes system with Navier slip boundary condition in a two-dimensional channel. As long as the width of cross-section of the channel grows more slowly than the linear growth,…
We give a survey of recent results on weak-strong uniqueness for compressible and incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, and also make some new observations. The importance of the weak-strong uniqueness principle stems, on the…
These notes are based on a series of lectures delivered by the author at the University of Toulouse in February 2014. They are entirely devoted to the initial value problem and the long-time behavior of solutions for the two-dimensional…
A body $\mathscr B$ moves in an unbounded Navier-Stokes liquid by time-independent translatory motion. Suppose that at time $t=0$, $\mathscr B$ smoothly changes its motion to an arbitrary rigid motion, reached at time $t=1$. We then show…
