The Couette-Taylor instability occurs in a viscous fluid confined between two coaxial rotating cylinders. When the Taylor number surpasses a critical value, the stable Couette flow destabilizes, giving way to steady Taylor vortices. As the…
Spatially localized exact solutions of plane Couette flow are organized in a snakes-and-ladders structure strikingly similar to that observed for simpler pattern-forming partial differential equations. [PRL 104,104501 (2010)]. We…
In the paper, we study the plane Couette flow of a rarefied gas between two parallel infinite plates at $y=\pm L$ moving relative to each other with opposite velocities $(\pm \alpha L,0,0)$ along the $x$-direction. Assuming that the…

The appearance of vortex filaments, the power-law dependence of velocity and vorticity correlators and their multiscaling behavior are derived from the Navier-Stokes equation. This is possible due to interpretation of the Navier-Stokes…

Flow between concentric spheres of radius ratio $\eta = r_\mathrm{i}/r_\mathrm{o} = 0.35$ is studied in a 3 m outer diameter experiment. We have measured the torques required to maintain constant boundary speeds as well as localized wall…
In this work, we analyze a Stokes problem arising in the study of the Navier-Stokes flow of a liquid jet. The analysis is accomplished by showing that the relevant Stokes operator accounting for a free surface gives rise to a sectorial…
We consider a two-phase flow of two incompressible, viscous and immiscible fluids which are separated by a sharp interface in the case of a simple phase transition. In this model the interface is no longer material and its evolution is…
The Navier-Stokes equations in the primitive formulation for incompressible flow describe the evolution of velocity and pressure, without recourse to vorticity. We show that, beyond the finite Leray-Hopf regularity interval, every…
We study the bifurcations of the large scale jets in the turbulent regime of a forced shear flow using direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations. The bifurcations are seen in the probability density function (PDF) of the…

The principle of multiple solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations discussed in this paper is not directed at any particular problems in fluid dynamics, nor at any specific applications. The non-uniqueness principle states that the Reynolds…
Numerical simulations of turbulence provide non-intrusive access to all the resolved scales, although they often invoke idealizations that can compromise realism. In contrast, experimental measurements probe the true flow with lesser…
The NS equation is considered (in 2 & 3 dimensions) with a fixed forcing on large scale; the stationary states form a family of probability distributions on the fluid velocity fields depending on a parameter R (Reynolds number). It is…
The Navier-Stokes (NS) equations as a turbulence model have been widely applied in lots of fields. The NS equations contain such a fundamental assumption that all small physical/artificial disturbances could be neglected. Is this assumption…

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…
Stokes flow equations, used to model creeping flow, are a commonly used simplification of the Navier--Stokes equations. The simplification is valid for flows where the inertial forces are negligible compared to the viscous forces. In…
