The article provides an analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for the case of the steady flow of an incompressible fluid between two uniformly co-rotating disks. The solution is derived from the asymptotical evolution of…
Motivated by stochastic models of climate phenomena, the steady-state of a linear stochastic model with additive Gaussian white noise is studied. Fluctuation theorems for nonequilibrium steady-states provide a constraint on the character of…
The paper considers a system of equations that models a lateral flow of a Boussinesq--Scriven fluid on a passively evolving surface embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. For the resulting Navier-Stokes type system, posed on a smooth closed…
We prove a transient fluctuation theorem for the currents for continuous-time Markov jump processes with stationary rates, generalizing an asymptotic result by Andrieux and Gaspard [J. Stat. Phys. 127, 107 (2007)] to finite times. The…
The 3D spatially periodic Navier-Stokes equation is posed as a nonlinear matrix differential equation. When the flow is assumed to be a time series having unknown wavenumber coefficients, then the matrix in this periodic Navier-Stokes…
A new formulation of the Navier-Stokes equation, in terms of the gradient of the total mechanical energy, is derived for the time-averaged flows, and the singular point possibly existing in the Navier-Stokes equation is exactly found.…

We consider an evolution system modeling a flow of colloidal particles which are suspended in an incompressible fluid and accounts for colloidal crystallization. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations for the volume averaged…
We deal with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, in two and three dimensions, when some vortex patches are prescribed as initial data i.e. when there is an internal boundary across which the vorticity is discontinuous. We show…
We consider the modified Navier-Stokes equations in R3 describing the motion of a fluid in the presence of a rotating rigid body. Weighted Sobolev spaces are used to describe the behavior of solutions at large distances. Under suitable…
This work builds on and confirms the theoretical findings of Part 1 of this paper, Moarref & Jovanovi\'c (2010). We use direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations to assess the efficacy of blowing and suction in the form of…
All complex fluid motions, such as transition and turbulence, obeying the Navier-Stokes equations are non-linear phenomena. Some aspects of the non-linear terms of these equations are not well understood and are, in fact, misunderstood. The…
We present the first experimental tests of the recently derived fusion rules for Navier-Stokes (N-S) turbulence. The fusion rules address the asymptotic properties of many-point correlation functions as some of the coordinates coalesce, and…
In the last ten years, a number of ``Conventional Fluctuation Theorems'' have been derived for systems with deterministic or stochastic dynamics, in a transient or in a non-equilibrium stationary state. These theorems gave explicit…
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…
It is shown that the "chaoticity hypothesis", analogous to Ruelle's principle for turbulence and recently introduced in statistical mechanics, implies the Onsager reciprocity and the fluctuation dissipation theorem in various models for…
The Euler and Navier-Stokes fluid mechanics equations are derived using a modified statistical mechanical approach using theory taken from the Chapman-Enskog perturbation analysis used to support the lattice Boltzmann method. Additional…
We study the two-dimensional stationary Navier-Stokes equations describing the flows around a rotating obstacle. The unique existence of solutions and their asymptotic behavior at spatial infinity are established when the rotation speed of…
Experiments (Mullin and Kreswell, 2005) show that transition to turbulence can start at Reynolds numbers lower than it is predicted by the linear stability analysis - the subcritical transition to turbulence. To explain these observations…
Heat fluctuations are studied in a dissipative system with both mechanical and stochastic components for a simple model: a Brownian particle dragged through water by a moving potential. An extended stationary state fluctuation theorem is…
