Vanishing viscosity limit of navier-stokes equations in gevrey class
In this paper we consider the inviscid limit for the periodic solutions to
Navier-Stokes equation in the framework of Gevrey class. It is shown that the
lifespan for the solutions to Navier-Stokes equation is independent of
viscosity, and that the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation converge to
that of Euler equation in Gevrey class as the viscosity tends to zero. Moreover
the convergence rate in Gevrey class is presented
Possibility of Turbulence from a Post-Navier-Stokes Equation
We introduce corrections to the Navier-Stokes equation arising from the
transitions between molecular states and the injection of external energy. In
the simplest application of the proposed post Navier-Stokes equation, we find a
multi-valued velocity field and the immediate possibility of velocity reversal,
both features of turbulence
2-D constrained Navier-Stokes equation and intermediate asymptotics
We introduce a modified version of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes
equation, preserving energy and momentum of inertia, which is motivated by the
occurrence of different dissipation time scales and related to the gradient
flow structure of the 2-D Navier-Stokes equation. The hope is to understand
intermediate asymptotics. The analysis we present here is purely formal. A
rigorous study of this equation will be done in a forthcoming paper
