We survey two problems illustrating geometric-topological and Hamiltonian methods in fluid mechanics: energy relaxation of a magnetic field and conservation laws for ideal fluid motion. More details and results, as well as a guide to the literature on these topics can be found in [3].
This paper is concerned with a fourth-order parabolic equation which models epitaxial growth of nanoscale thin films. Based on the regularity estimates for semigroups and the classical existence theorem of global attractors, we prove that the fourth order parabolic equation possesses a global attractor in a subspace of H², which attracts all the bounded sets of H² in the H²-norm.
Global and regular solutions of the Navier-Stokes system in cylindrical domains have already been obtained under the assumption of smallness of (1) the derivative of the velocity field with respect to the variable along the axis of cylinder, (2) the derivative of force field with respect to the variable along the axis of the cylinder and (3) the projection of the force field on the axis of the cylinder restricted to the part of the boundary perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. With the same...
Global existence of regular special solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations describing the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid in a cylindrical pipe has already been shown. In this paper we prove the existence of the global attractor for the Navier-Stokes equations and convergence of the solution to a stationary solution.
This paper is devoted to the global attractors of the tropical climate model. We first establish the global well-posedness of the system. Then by studying the existence of bounded absorbing sets, the global attractor is constructed. The estimates of the Hausdorff dimension and of the fractal dimension of the global attractor are obtained in the end.
We consider a simplified one-dimensional thermal model of nuclear matter, described by a system of Navier-Stokes-Poisson type, with a non monotone equation of state due to an effective nuclear interaction. We prove the existence of globally defined (large) solutions of the corresponding free boundary problem, with an exterior pressure which is not required to be positive, provided sufficient thermal dissipation is present. We give also a partial description of the asymptotic behaviour of the system,...
We prove the existence of a global solution for a one-dimensio- nal Navier-Stokes system for a gas with internal capillarity.
We show global existence for a class of models of fluids that change their properties depending on the concentration of a chemical. We allow that the stress tensor in (t, x) depends on the velocity and concentration at other points and times. The example we have in mind foremost are materials with memory.
Global existence of regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations describing the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid in a cylindrical pipe with large inflow and outflow is shown. To prove the long time existence we need smallness of derivatives, with respect to the variable along the axis of the cylinder, of the external force and of the initial velocity in L₂-norms. Moreover, we need smallness of derivatives of inflow and outflow with respect to tangent directions to the boundary and with...
Global existence of axially symmetric solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in a cylinder with the axis of symmetry removed is proved. The solutions satisfy the ideal slip conditions on the boundary. We underline that there is no restriction on the angular component of velocity. We obtain two kinds of existence results. First, under assumptions necessary for the existence of weak solutions, we prove that the velocity belongs to , so it satisfies the Serrin condition. Next, increasing regularity...
This paper is concerned with the 3-D Cauchy problem for the compressible viscous fluid flow taking into account the radiation effect. For more general gases including ideal polytropic gas, we prove that there exists a unique smooth solutions in , provided that the initial perturbations are small. Moreover, the time decay rates of the global solutions are obtained for higher-order spatial derivatives of density, velocity, temperature, and the radiative heat flux.
