This article is devoted to incompressible Euler equations (or to Navier-Stokes equations in the vanishing viscosity limit). It describes the propagation of quasi-singularities. The underlying phenomena are consistent with the notion of a cascade of energy.

We study the Cauchy problem for the non-Newtonian incompressible fluid with the viscous part of the stress tensor ${\tau }^V\left(𝕖\right)=\tau \left(𝕖\right)-2{\mu }_1\Delta 𝕖$, where the nonlinear function $\tau \left(𝕖\right)$ satisfies ${\tau }_{ij}\left(𝕖\right)e_{ij}\ge c{\left|𝕖\right|}^p$ or ${\tau }_{ij}\left(𝕖\right)e_{ij}\ge {c\left(\right|𝕖|}^2+{\left|𝕖\right|}^p)$. First, the model for the bipolar fluid is studied and existence, uniqueness and regularity of the weak solution is proved for $p>1$ for both models. Then, under vanishing higher viscosity ${\mu }_1$, the Cauchy problem for the monopolar fluid is considered. For the first model the existence of the weak solution is proved for $p>\frac{3n}{n+2}$, its uniqueness and...

In this work we introduce a new class of lowest order methods for diffusive problems on general meshes with only one unknown per element. The underlying idea is to construct an incomplete piecewise affine polynomial space with optimal approximation properties starting from values at cell centers. To do so we borrow ideas from multi-point finite volume methods, although we use them in a rather different context. The incomplete polynomial space replaces classical complete polynomial spaces in discrete...

Nous montrons dans cette étude l’existence de configurations stationnaires où une bille tombe le long d’un plan incliné sans le toucher. Nous donnons également des propriétés qualitatives de ces configurations. En particulier, nous nous intéressons à l’orientation du plan par rapport à la verticale quand la masse de la bille est proche de celle d’un volume équivalent de liquide i.e., quand l’écoulement autour de la bille est lent.

Les données, i.e. l’ouvert $\Omega$ et la force appliquée $f$, sont supposées de classe $𝒞$. Il est montré que toute solution des équations de Navier-Stokes dans l’ouvert $\Omega$, bornée dans $H^1(\Omega {)}^N$ ($N=2$ ou $3$) sur un intervalle de temps semi-infini $(t_0+\infty )$, est aussi bornée, pour $t\to +\infty$, dans tous les espaces $H^m(\Omega {)}^N$. Il en résulte que tout ensemble fonctionnel invariant ou attracteur borné dans $H^1\left(\Omega \right)(N$ (ou même $H^{1/2+ϵ}(\Omega {)}^N$, $ϵ\>0$) est porté par ${𝒞}^{\infty }(\bar{\Omega })$. Le cas où les forces appliquées dérivent d’un potentiel (i.e. $f=0$) est abordé : il est montré que toute solution...

We consider the effect of surface roughness on solid-solid contact in a Stokes flow. Various models for the roughness are considered, and a unified methodology is given to derive the corresponding asymptotics of the drag force in the close-contact limit. In this way, we recover and clarify the various expressions that can be found in previous studies.

We obtain logarithmic improvements for conditions for regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation, similar to those of Prodi-Serrin or Beale-Kato-Majda. Some of the proofs make use of a stochastic approach involving Feynman-Kac-like inequalities. As part of our methods, we give a different approach to a priori estimates of Foiaş, Guillopé and Temam.
