Existence of weak solutions for the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this work we consider the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with the presence of a damping term in the momentum equation. The problem studied here derives from the set of equations which govern isothermal flows of incompressible and homogeneous non-Newtonian fluids. For the generalized Navier-Stokes problem with damping, we prove the existence of weak solutions by using regularization techniques, the theory of monotone operators and compactness arguments together with the local decomposition of the pressure and the Lipschitz-truncation method. The existence result proved here holds for any and any sigma > 1, where q is the exponent of the diffusion term and sigma is the exponent which characterizes the damping term.MCTES, Portugal [SFRH/BSAB/1058/2010]; FCT, Portugal [PTDC/MAT/110613/2010]info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

On shape optimization for compressible isothermal Navier-Stokes equations

The steady state system of isothermal Navier-Stokes equations is considered in two dimensional domain including an obstacle. The shape optimisation problem of drag minimisation with respect to the admissible shape of the obstacle is defined. The generalized solutions for the Navier-Stokes equations are introduced. The existence of an optimal shape is proved in the class of admissible domains. In general the solution to the problem under consideration is not unique

On the Inviscid Limit of the 3D Navier-Stokes Equations with Generalized Navier-slip Boundary Conditions

In this paper, we investigate the vanishing viscosity limit problem for the 3-dimensional (3D) incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a general bounded smooth domain of $R^3$ with the generalized Navier-slip boundary conditions (\ref{VSg}). Some uniform estimates on rates of convergence in $C([0,T],L^2(\Omega))$ and $C([0,T],H^1(\Omega))$ of the solutions to the corresponding solutions of the idea Euler equations with the standard slip boundary condition are obtained

Generalized Navier-Stokes equations with nonlinear anisotropic viscosity

The purpose of this work is to study the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with nonlinear viscosity that, in addition, can be fully anisotropic. Existence of very weak solutions is proved for the associated initial and boundary-value problem, supplemented with no-slip boundary conditions. We show that our existence result is optimal in some directions provided there is some compensation in the remaining directions. A particular simplification of the problem studied here, reduces to the Navier-Stokes equations with (linear) anisotropic viscosity used to model either the turbulence or the Ekman layer in atmospheric and oceanic fluid flows.Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, PortugalPortuguese Foundation for Science and Technology [UID/MAT/04561/2019][SFRH/BSAB/135242/2017

Analyticity for the (generalized) Navier-Stokes equations with rough initial data

We study the Cauchy problem for the (generalized) incompressible Navier-Stokes equations \begin{align} u_t+(-\Delta)^{\alpha}u+u\cdot \nabla u +\nabla p=0, \ \ {\rm div} u=0, \ \ u(0,x)= u_0. \nonumber \end{align} We show the analyticity of the local solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation ($\alpha=1$) with any initial data in critical Besov spaces $\dot{B}^{n/p-1}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $1< p<\infty, \ 1\le q\le \infty$ and the solution is global if $u_0$ is sufficiently small in $\dot{B}^{n/p-1}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. In the case $p=\infty$, the analyticity for the local solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation ($\alpha=1$) with any initial data in modulation space $M^{-1}_{\infty,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is obtained. We prove the global well-posedness for a fractional Navier-stokes equation ($\alpha=1/2$) with small data in critical Besov spaces $\dot{B}^{n/p}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^n) \ (1\leq p\leq\infty)$ and show the analyticity of solutions with small initial data either in $\dot{B}^{n/p}_{p,1}(\mathbb{R}^n) \ (1\leq p<\infty)$ or in $\dot{B}^0_{\infty,1} (\mathbb{R}^n)\cap {M}^0_{\infty,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Similar results also hold for all $\alpha\in (1/2,1)$.Comment: 31 page
