Does Helmholtz's decomposition give an over-determined rotational flow?

If you take the curl of your equation for $v$ (after the correction $iv\mapsto\partial v/\partial t$), you find $$\nabla\times(\partial v/\partial t-s^{-2}\nabla^2 v)=0.$$ This partial differential …

What is kth vortex formula?

Use that the velocity field is incompressible, $\nabla\cdot u=0$, to rewrite $$(u\cdot\nabla)u_j=\sum_{i} \nabla_i (u_iu_j).$$ You seek the curl of the curl of this expression, use that $$[\operatorna …

Reynolds operator from the potential theoretic point of view

for what it's worth, here is one rather recent & pessimistic assessment: Gian-Carlo Rota wrote that "The Reynolds operators are the potentials, in the language of probabilistic potential theory, …

Why are solenoidal fields called solenoidal?

[To expand on Wojowu's comment.] Q: "Why the description of a divergence-free field as solenoidal? I expect that this name had historical origins but its unlikely that it was so named without some lin …

Does surface integral preserve the curl operation?

These are two different integrals. To see they are different, you could for example take $\textbf{F}(\textbf{r})=\textbf{r}$. Then the curl of $\textbf{F}$ vanishes, so the integral on the right-hand- …

A question about intuition of fluid limit in queuing system

in the fluid (or continuum) limit, you should allow $k$ to vary continuously and consider instead of $\pi_k$ (the probability of a queue of exactly length $k$) the probability $\pi(k)dk$ that a queue …

Definition of the nonlinear part of the drift in a (stochastic) Navier-Stokes equation

For $d=2$ the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the stochastic Navier–Stokes equation, including the nonlinear drift term, has been proven by Menaldi and Sritharan, Stochastic 2-D Navie …

Derivation of Bessel functions

I'll make an attempt at providing the steps you are seeking to go "from Euler equation to Bessel function". You start from the Euler equation, describing conservation of momentum, $$\rho\frac{\parti …

References on thin film equation: derivation and properties

$\bullet$ Physical model: There is no physical model that gives this equation for arbitrary $m$; the values $m=1,2,3$ appear in viscous flow, as summarized in "Viscous Thin Films": For the no-slip bou …

Navier-Stokes fluid dynamics, Einstein gravity and holography

The first point to make is that the fluid/gravity correspondence relates the general theory of relativity to relativistic fluid dynamics. I don't see how the usual non-relativistic Navier-Stokes equat …
