We study the problem of uniqueness of Leray solutions to the three-dimensional Vlasov-Navier-Stokes system. We establish uniqueness whenever the fluid velocity field belongs to the Cannone-Meyer-Planchon class, which allows to go beyond the…

In this visualisation the instantaneous local velocity is expressed in terms of four components to capture the development of and interactions between coherent structures in turbulent flows. It is then possible to isolate the terms linked…
We consider the motion of incompressible viscous non-homogeneous fluid described by the Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded cylinder under boundary slip conditions. Assume that the third co-ordinate axis is the axis of the cylinder.…
Through a discussion of some typical unsteady hydrodynamic flows, we argue that the time averaged hydrodynamic functions at each point give a rather sparse filling of the local jet space. This situation then suggests a set of time dependent…
We give a simple proof of the uniqueness of fluid particle trajectories corresponding to: 1) the solution of the two-dimensional Navier Stokes equations with an initial condition that is only square integrable, and 2) the local strong…
In this note, which is of general stability theory interest, we discuss some of the key assertions usually stated in the context of the transition to turbulence problem. In particular, the two main points made here in the setting of the…
Fluid flows are omnipresent in nature and engineering disciplines. The reliable computation of fluids has been a long-lasting challenge due to nonlinear interactions over multiple spatio-temporal scales. The compressible Navier-Stokes…
Singularity of Navier-Stokes equations is uncovered for the first time which explains the mechanism of transition of a smooth laminar flow to turbulence. It is found that when an inflection point is formed on the velocity profile in…
In this work we investigate the existence of weak solutions for steady flows of generalized incompressible and homogeneous viscous fluids. The problem is modeled by the steady case of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations, where the…
