Long-time stability of noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We report our results on long-time stability of multi–dimensional noncharacteristic boundary layers of a class of hyperbolic–parabolic systems including the compressible Navier–Stokes equations with inflow [outflow] boundary conditions, under the assumption of strong spectral, or uniform Evans, stability. Evans stability has been verified for small-amplitude layers by Guès, Métivier, Williams, and Zumbrun. For large–amplitudes, it may be checked numerically, as done in one–dimensional case for isentropic...

On the spectral instability of parallel shear flows

Emmanuel Grenier; Yan Guo; Toan T. Nguyen

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

This short note is to announce our recent results [2,3] which provide a complete mathematical proof of the viscous destabilization phenomenon, pointed out by Heisenberg (1924), C.C. Lin and Tollmien (1940s), among other prominent physicists. Precisely, we construct growing modes of the linearized Navier-Stokes equations about general stationary shear flows in a bounded channel (channel flows) or on a half-space (boundary layers), for sufficiently large Reynolds number $R \to \infty$ . Such an instability is linked...

Existence and upper semicontinuity of uniform attractors in $H ¹ (ℝ^{N})$ for nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equations

Cung The Anh; Nguyen Duong Toan — 2014

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove the existence of uniform attractors $_{ε}$ in the space $H ¹ (ℝ^{N})$ for the nonautonomous nonclassical diffusion equation $u_{t} - ε Δ u_{t} - Δ u + f (x, u) + λ u = g (x, t)$ , ε ∈ [0,1]. The upper semicontinuity of the uniform attractors ${_{ε}}_{ε \in [0, 1]}$ at ε = 0 is also studied.
