We study a singular limit for the compressible Navier-Stokes system when the Mach and Rossby numbers are proportional to certain powers of a small parameter $\ep$. If the Rossby number dominates the Mach number, the limit problem is…

Whether the smooth solution of the multi-dimensional viscous compressible fluids will blow-up in finite time has always been a chanllenging problem. In the recent work\cite{FM}, Merle et al. proved that there are smooth solutions to the 2D…
Assuming that initial velocity and initial vorticity are bounded in the plane, we show that on a sufficiently short time interval the unique solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations converge uniformly to the unique solution of the Euler…
We prove the global existence and uniqueness of the classical (weak) solution for the 2D or 3D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a density-dependent viscosity coefficient ($\lambda=\lambda(\rho)$). Initial data and solutions are…
We study the scenario of discretely self-similar blow-up for Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that at the possible blow-up time such solutions only one point singularity. In case of the scaling parameter $ \lambda $ near $ 1$ we remove the…
In this paper, we consider two systems modelling the evolution of a rigid body in an incompressible fluid in a bounded domain of the plane. The first system corresponds to an inviscid fluid driven by the Euler equation whereas the other one…
This investigation concerns a systematic search for potentially singular behavior in 3D Navier-Stokes flows. Enstrophy serves as a convenient indicator of the regularity of solutions to the Navier Stokes system --- as long as this quantity…
