On étudie l’équation locale de l’énergie pour des solutions faibles des équations d’Euler et Navier-Stokes incompressibles tridimensionnelles. On explicite un terme de dissipation provenant de l’éventuel défaut de régularité de la solution. On donne au passage une preuve simple de la conjecture d’Onsager, améliorant un peu l’hypothèse de [1]. On propose une notion de solution dissipative pour de telles solutions faibles.

A mixed finite element method for the Navier–Stokes equations is introduced in which the stress is a primary variable. The variational formulation retains the mathematical structure of the Navier–Stokes equations and the classical theory extends naturally to this setting. Finite element spaces satisfying the associated inf–sup conditions are developed.

We prove the global existence of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations of compressible, barotropic flow in two space dimensions with piecewise smooth initial data. These solutions remain piecewise smooth for all time, retaining simple jump discontinuities in the density and in the divergence of the velocity across a smooth curve, which is convected with the flow. The strengths of these discontinuities are shown to decay exponentially in time, more rapidly for larger acoustic speeds and smaller...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of fast rotating fluids between two infinite plates with Dirichlet boundary conditions and “turbulent viscosity” for general $L^2$ initial data. We use dispersive effect to prove strong convergence to the solution of the bimensionnal Navier-Stokes equations modified by the Ekman pumping term.

We study the tridimensional Navier-Stokes equation when the value of the vertical viscosity is zero, in a critical space (invariant by the scaling). We shall prove local in time existence of the solution, respectively global in time when the initial data is small compared with the horizontal viscosity.

We discuss the validity of the Helmholtz decomposition of the Muckenhoupt $A_p$-weighted $L^p$-space ${\left(L_w^p\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ for any domain $\Omega$ in ${ℝ}^n$, $n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $n\ge 2$, $1<p<\infty$ and Muckenhoupt $A_p$-weight $w\in A_p$. Set $p^{\text{'}}:=p/(p-1)$ and $w^{\text{'}}:=w^{-1/(p-1)}$. Then the Helmholtz decomposition of ${\left(L_w^p\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ and ${\left(L_{w^{\text{'}}}^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ and the variational estimate of $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\pi }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$ are equivalent. Furthermore, we can replace $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\pi }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$ by $L_{w,\sigma }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\sigma }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$, respectively. The proof is based on the reflexivity and orthogonality of $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w,\sigma }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and the Hahn-Banach theorem. As a corollary of our main result, we obtain the extrapolation theorem with...

The incompressible Navier-Stokes problem is discretized in time by the two-step backward differentiation formula. Error estimates are proved under feasible assumptions on the regularity of the exact solution avoiding hardly fulfillable compatibility conditions. Whereas the time-weighted velocity error is of optimal second order, the time-weighted error in the pressure is of first order. Suboptimal estimates are shown for a linearisation. The results cover both the two- and three-dimensional case....
