Variational formulations for viscous flows which lead to the Navier-Stokes equation are examined. Since viscosity leads to dissipation and, therefore, to the irreversible transfer of mechanical energy to heat, thermal degrees of freedom…
We are concerned with the (stochastic) Lagrangian trajectories associated with Euler or Navier-Stokes equations. First, in the vanishing viscosity limit, we establish sharp non-uniqueness results for positive solutions to transport…
