We consider the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations in a finite cylinder $\Omega\subset\R^3$. We assume that $v_r$, $v_\varphi$, $\omega_\varphi$ vanish on the lateral part of boundary $\partial\Omega$ of the cylinder, and that $v_z$,…

We study the Navier-Stokes system describing the motion of a compressible viscous fluid driven by a nonlinear multiplicative stochastic force. We establish local in time existence (up to a positive stopping time) of a unique solution, which…

Fractional Navier-Stokes equations -- featuring a fractional Laplacian -- provide a `bridge' between the Euler equations (zero diffusion) and the Navier-Stokes equations (full diffusion). The problem of whether an initially smooth flow can…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in $\R^3$, and provide a sufficient condition to ensure the smoothness of the solution. It involves only two entries of the velocity Hessian.
The flow of a viscous fluid is perturbed by its internal friction which generates heat and leads to a small temperature change. This does not occur for an ideal fluid. We would like to resolve this picture as a function of the dynamical…
We are concerned with the problem of global well-posedness of the 3D Navier--Stokes equations on the torus with unitary viscosity. While a full answer to this question seems to be out of reach of the current techniques, we establish a…

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…
A three-dimensional chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system is considered. It is known that for all suitably regular initial data, a corresponding initial-boundary value problem admits at least one global weak solution which can be obtained as the…
This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations for compressible viscous heat-conductive fluids with far-field vacuum at infinity in $\R^3$. For less regular data and weaker compatibility condition than those…
We prove the existence of solutions for the axisymmetric steady Navier-Stokes system around an infinite cylinder under external forces. The solutions are constructed to be decaying at the horizontal infinity, despite an analogue of the…
We address the local well-posedness of the hydrostatic Navier-Stokes equations. These equations, sometimes called reduced Navier-Stokes/Prandtl, appear as a formal limit of the Navier-Stokes system in thin domains, under certain constraints…
In [Lacave, IHP, ana, to appear (2008)] the author considered the two dimensional Euler equations in the exterior of a thin obstacle shrinking to a curve and determined the limit velocity. In the present work, we consider the same problem…
