Linearized stability of incompressible viscous fluid flows in a thin spherical shell is studied by using the two-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations on a sphere. The stationary flow on the sphere has two singularities (a sink and a source)…

Numerical solutions of the laminar Prandtl boundary-layer and Navier-Stokes equations are considered for the case of the two-dimensional uniform flow past an impulsively-started circular cylinder. We show how Prandtl's solution develops a…

Because the Navier-Stokes equations are dissipative, the long-time dynamics of a flow in state space are expected to collapse onto a manifold whose dimension may be much lower than the dimension required for a resolved simulation. On this…
We prove the global-in-time existence of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations of compressible isentropic flow in three space dimensions with adiabatic exponent $\gamma\ge1$. Initial data and solutions are small in $L^2$ around a…
