Critical Reynolds numbers for turbulence in 3D and 2D planar Couette flows
In 3 spatial dimensions, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are:
$$
\begin{split}
\frac{\partial u_i}{\partial t} + \sum_{j=1}^3 u_j \frac{\partial u_i}{\partial x_j} &= - \frac{\partial p}...

Compressible Ebin-Marsden?
In Ebin and Marsden's paper Groups of Diffeomorphisms and the Motion of an Incompressible Fluid, there is a footnote on the first page indicating that non-homogeneous cases and the case of ...

Long wavelength instability: Linear Vs nonlinear phenomenon
I am looking into stability for certain nonlinear PDE on $\mathbb{R}$ around a specific steady solution, $f_0(x)$. The nonlinear Cauchy PDE is given by:
$\dfrac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t}=\mathbf{N}...

Hyperbolic PDE from total derivative?
Given a density function $p(t, \boldsymbol{x})$, where $t$ is time and the vector $\boldsymbol{x}$ represents a point in $n$ dimensional space, a hyperbolic PDE describing the time evolution of the ...

Is a certain set of periodic solutions of the 2D Navier-Stokes equations closed generically?
I would be interested to know if a certain set of periodic solutions for
the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations is closed generically.
Many similar (yet not identical) set-ups can be found in the ...
