On bounded channel flows of viscoelastic fluids

Similarity:

We show that the smooth bounded channel flows of a viscoelastic fluid exhibit the following qualitative feature: Whenever the channel is sufficiently wide, any bounded velocity field satisfying the homogeneous equation of motion is such that if the flow stops at some time, then the flow is never unidirectional throughout the channel. We first demonstrate the qualitative property of the bounded channel flows. Then we show explicitly how a piecewise linear approximation of a relaxation...

On the L 2 -instability and L 2 -controllability of steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid

Alexander Shnirelman (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

In the existing stability theory of steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid, formulated by V. Arnold, the stability is understood as a stability with respect to perturbations with small in L 2 vorticity. Nothing has been known about the stability under perturbation with small energy, without any restrictions on vorticity; it was clear that existing methods do not work for this (the most physically reasonable) class of perturbations. We prove that in fact, every nontrivial steady...
