We consider the 2D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on $\mathbb{T}\times \mathbf{R}$, with initial vorticity that is $\delta$ close in $H^{log}_xL^2_{y}$ to $-1$(the vorticity of the Couette flow $(y,0)$). We prove that if $\delta\ll…

In this work we study the long time, inviscid limit of the 2D Navier-Stokes equations near the periodic Couette flow, and in particular, we confirm at the nonlinear level the qualitative behavior predicted by Kelvin's 1887 linear analysis.…

We consider the vorticity form of 2D Navier--Stokes equations perturbed by an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck flow of transport type. Contrary to previous works where the random perturbation was interpreted as Stratonovich transport noise, here we…
