We consider the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid on a compact Riemannian manifold $\sM$ with boundary. The motion on $\sM$ is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the fluid is subject to pure or partial slip…
Both experimental and numerical studies of fluid motion indicate that initially localized regions of vorticity tend to evolve into isolated vortices and that these vortices then serve as organizing centers for the flow. In this paper we…

In the present work, we consider the evolution of two fluids separated by a sharp interface in the presence of surface tension - like, for example, the evolution of oil bubbles in water. Our main result is a weak-strong uniqueness principle…
We compute the solutions of Prandtl's and Navier-Stokes equations for the two dimensional flow induced by a rectilinear vortex interacting with a boundary in the half plane. For this initial datum Prandtl's equation develops, in a finite…
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…
A model is developed describing the approach to a finite-time singularity of the Navier-Stokes equations for two interacting vortices. The model is derived from a combination of the Biot-Savart law and an equation describing the evolution…
Assuming that initial velocity has finite energy and initial vorticity is bounded in the plane, we show that for any finite time interval the unique solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations converge uniformly to the unique solution of the…

The Navier-Stokes equation contains two terms which have been subjected to slight modification: (a) the viscosity term depends of time (the viscosity in average on time is zero, but its variance is non-zero), (b) the pressure gradient…
The two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are rewritten as a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations describe the evolution of the moments of an expansion of the vorticity with respect to Hermite…
