We study a pointwise tracking optimal control problem for the stationary Navier--Stokes equations; control constraints are also considered. The problem entails the minimization of a cost functional involving point evaluations of the state…
We consider the approximate control of solitons in generalized Korteweg-de Vries equations. By introducing a suitable internal bilinear control on the equation, we prove that any soliton is locally null controllable, and moreover, any…
We derive a saturated feedback control, which locally stabilizes a linear reaction-diffusion equation. In contrast to most other works on this topic, we do not assume the Lyapunov stability of the uncontrolled system and consider general…
We study small-scale and high-frequency turbulent fluctuations in three-dimensional flows under Fourier-mode reduction. The Navier-Stokes equations are evolved on a restricted set of modes, obtained as a projection on a fractal or…

We consider a generalized alpha-type model in the whole three-dimensional space and driven by a stationary (time-independent) external force. This model contains as particular cases some relevant equations of the fluid dynamics, among them…
The question at stake in Lagrangian controllability is whether one can move a patch of fluid particles to a target location by means of remote action in a given time interval. In the last two decades, positive results have been obtained…
This paper concerns the existence of global weak solutions \`a la Leray for compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a pressure law that depends on the density and on time and space variables $t$ and $x$. The assumptions on the pressure…
In this work, we study a boundary control problem for the evolutionary Navier-Stokes equations, under mixed boundary conditions, in two dimensions. The cost functional here considered is of quadratic type, depending on both state and…
Global regularity for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations remains unresolved partly because weak, mild, and strong formulations employ incompatible functional settings. The present study introduces a…
Sufficient and necessary conditions are established for controllability of affine control systems where the control is constrained to a set whose convex hull contains the origin but is not necessarily, in contrast with previously known…
We study the long-time behavior an extended Navier-Stokes system in $\R^2$ where the incompressibility constraint is relaxed. This is one of several "reduced models" of Grubb and Solonnikov '89 and was revisited recently (Liu, Liu, Pego…
In this paper, we study the Modified Leray alpha model with periodic boundary conditions. We show that when the initial data are infinitely differentiable then the unique solution are infinitely differentiable in space and time.…
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…
The three-dimensional Navier-Stokes-$\alpha$ model for fast rotating geophysical fluids is considered. The Navier-Stokes-$\alpha$ model is a nonlinear dispersive regularization of the exact Navier-Stokes equations obtained by Lagrangian…
This paper concerns the global nonlinear stability of vortex sheets for the Navier-Stokes equations. When the Mach number is small, we allow both the amplitude and vorticity of the vortex sheets to be large. We introduce an auxiliary flow…
We study the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ with initial velocity $u_0$ square-integrable, divergence-free and tangent to $\partial \Omega$. We supplement the equations with the…
In this paper we study the Navier-Stokes equations with a Navier-type boundary condition that has been proposed as an alternative to common near wall models. The boundary condition we study, involving a linear relation between the…
We prove space-time decay estimates of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes Cauchy problem, corresponding to a given asymptotic behavior of the initial data of the same order of decay. We use two main tools. The first is a result…
