Irrotational flow is described with the second order elliptic partial differential equation $E^2\psi=0,$ where $\psi$ is the function to be derived and $E^2$ is the Stokes operator. In the present paper we derive the solution of $E^2\psi=0$…
If a linear combination of k smooth vector fields is zero at a point, then, generically, near this point there are small cycles comprised of segments from the flow of each vector field. This answers a question posed in arXiv:math/0504365.
We consider the Stokes system in the half-space with localized boundary data. We prove that a boundary layer separation point exists provided that a certain singular integral determined by the boundary data is negative. On the other hand,…
