We construct forward self-similar solutions (expanders) for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Some of these self-similar solutions are smooth, while others exhibit a singularity do to cavitation at the origin.
Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative of the velocity field is infinite at any point of a field of flow (or, in an evolving flow, becomes infinite at any point within a finite time). Such singularities can…
In the present note, we show that, as a priori bounds, the vorticity dynamics derived from Leray's backward self-similarity hypothesis admits only trivial solution in viscous as well as inviscid flows. By analogy, there is no non-zero…
There are a few examples of solutions to the incompressible Euler equations which are piecewise smooth with a discontinuity of the tangential velocity across a hypersurface evolving in time: the so-called vortex sheets. An important open…
The aim of this contribution is to make a connection between two recent results concerning the dynamics of vortices in incompressible planar flows. The first one is an asymptotic expansion, in the vanishing viscosity limit, of the solution…
We show existence and uniqueness of regular time-periodic solutions to the Navier-Stokes problem in the exterior of a rigid body, $\mathscr B$, that moves by arbitrary (sufficiently smooth) time-periodic translational motion of the same…
This paper investigates the three-dimensional axisymmetric compressible Navier-Stokes equations under slip boundary conditions in a cylindrical domain excluding the axis. For initial density allowed to vanish, we establish the global…
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…
Fluid flows around a symmetric obstacle generate vortices which may lead to symmetry breaking of the streamlines. We study this phenomenon for planar viscous flows governed by the stationary Navier-Stokes equations with constant…
We examine the large-time behavior of axisymmetric solutions without swirl of the Navier--Stokes equation in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We construct higher-order asymptotic expansions for the corresponding vorticity. The appeal of this work lies in…
We consider the barotropic Navier--Stokes system describing the motion of a compressible Newtonian fluid in a bounded domain with in and out flux boundary conditions. We show that if the boundary velocity coincides with that of a rigid…
Exact solutions of both the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations are found on the surface of a sphere. Under the assumption of a vanishing convection term, the flow of two oppositely rotating point vortices at the poles turns out to be the…
An obstacle is immersed in an externally driven 2D Stokes or Navier-Stokes fluid. We study the self-equilibration conditions for that obstacle under steady state assumptions on the flow. We then seek to optimize the translational and/or…
We consider a two-dimensional, two-layer, incompressible, steady flow, with vorticity which is constant in each layer, in an infinite channel with rigid walls. The velocity is continuous across the interface, there is no surface tension or…
We derive refined estimates of the Green tensor of the stationary Stokes system in the half space. We then investigate the spatial asymptotics of stationary solutions of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the half space. We also…
In this paper, we study the three-dimensional axisymmetric compressible Navier-Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions in a cylindrical domain excluding the axis. We establish the global existence and exponential decay of weak,…
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…
The present paper is concerned with an inviscid limit problem of radially symmetric stationary solutions for an exterior problem in $\mathbb{R}^n (n\ge 2)$ to compressible Navier-Stokes equation, describing the motion of viscous barotropic…
Let $v$ be a solution of the axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equation. We determine the structure of certain (possible) maximal singularity of $v$ in the following sense. Let $(x_0, t_0)$ be a point where the flow speed $Q_0 = |v(x_0,…
