In this article, we will consider second order uniformly elliptic operators of divergence form defined on R^n with measurable coefficients. Mainly, we will give estimates on the dimension of space of solutions that grow at most polynomially…
We study Sobolev regularity disturbances to the periodic, plane Couette flow in the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations at high Reynolds number $\textbf{Re}$. Our goal is to estimate how the stability threshold scales in…
Self-similarity of wall-attached coherent structures in a turbulent channel at $Re_\tau=543$ is explored by means of resolvent analysis. In this modelling framework, coherent structures are understood to arise as a response of the…
In this paper, we study the transition threshold problem for the 2-D Navier-Stokes equations around the Poiseuille flow $(1-y^2,0)$ in a finite channel with Navier-slip boundary condition. Based on the resolvent estimates for the linearized…
Low Reynolds number turbulence in wall-bounded shear flows en route to laminar flow takes the form of spatially intermittent turbulent structures. In plane shear flows, these appear as a regular pattern of alternating turbulent and…
We extend the resolvent estimate on the sphere to exponents off the line $\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{s}=\frac{2}{n}$. Since the condition $\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{s}=\frac{2}{n}$ on the exponents is necessary for a uniform bound, one cannot expect…
The predictions of resolvent analysis for turbulent channel flow are evaluated for a friction Reynolds number of Retau = 550. In addition to the standard resolvent operator with kinematic viscosity, a resolvent operator augmented with the…
This paper shows how abstract resolvent estimates imply local smoothing for solutions to the Schr\"odinger equation. If the resolvent estimate has a loss when compared to the optimal, non-trapping estimate, there is a corresponding loss in…
This study seeks to characterise the breakdown of the steady 2D solution in the flow around a 180-degree sharp bend to infinitesimal 3D disturbances using a linear stability analysis. The stability analysis predicts that 3D transition is…
We establish a deep connection between the Prandtl equations linearised around a quadratic shear flow, confluent hypergeometric functions of the first kind, and the Schr\"odinger operator. Our first result concerns an ODE and a spectral…
We discuss the conductance of a Luttinger liquid interrupted by a quantum dot containing a single resonant level. Using bosonisation and re-fermionisation methods, we find a mapping to a Kondo-type problem which possesses a non-trivial…
In $L_2({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb C}^n)$, we consider a selfadjoint operator ${\mathcal B}_\varepsilon$, $0< \varepsilon \leqslant 1$, given by the differential expression $b({\mathbf D})^* g({\mathbf x}/\varepsilon)b({\mathbf D}) +…
This paper extends the discriminant associated to second order linear constant coefficient differential equations to general second order linear differential equations. The main result of this paper is that the discriminant of a second…
Lower branch coherent states in plane Couette flow have an asymptotic structure that consists of O(1) streaks, $O(R^{-1})$ streamwise rolls and a weak sinusoidal wave that develops a critical layer, for large Reynolds number $R$. Higher…
We present a unique method for solving for the Reynolds stress in turbulent canonical flows, which is based on momentum balance for a control volume moving at the local mean velocity. Comparisons with experimental and computational data in…
Laboratory experiments point out the existence of patterns made of alternately laminar and turbulent oblique bands in plane Couette flow in its way to/from turbulence as the Reynolds number R is varied. Many previous theoretical and…
A novel reduced-order model for nonlinear flows is presented. The model arises from a resolvent decomposition in which the nonlinear advection terms of the Navier-Stokes equation are considered as the input to a linear system in Fourier…
The aim of the present work is to investigate the role of coherent structures in the generation of the secondary flow in a turbulent square duct. The coherent structures are defined as connected regions of flow where the product of the…
The linear evolution of disturbances due to a ribbon vibrating at frequency $\omega_0$ in plane Poiseuille flow is computed by solving the associated initial boundary value problem in the Fourier-Laplace plane, followed by inversion. A…
The conceptual picture underlying resolvent analysis(RA) is that the nonlinear term in the Navier-Stokes(NS) equations provides an intrinsic forcing to the linear dynamics, a description inspired by control theory. The inverse of the linear…
