Whether the 3D incompressible Navier–Stokes equations can develop a finite time sin- gularity from smooth initial data is one of the most challenging problems in nonlinear PDEs. In this paper, we present some new numerical evidence that the incompress- ible axisymmetric Navier–Stokes equations with smooth initial data of finite energy seem to develop potentially singular behavior at the origin. This potentially singular behavior is induced by a potential finite time singularity of the 3D Euler equations that we reported in a companion paper published in the same issue, see also Hou (Poten- tial singularity of the 3D Euler equations in the interior domain. arXiv:2107.05870 [math.AP], 2021). We present numerical evidence that the 3D Navier–Stokes equa- tions develop nearly self-similar singular scaling properties with maximum vorticity increased by a factor of 107. We have applied several blow-up criteria to study the potentially singular behavior of the Navier–Stokes equations. The Beale–Kato–Majda blow-up criterion and the blow-up criteria based on the growth of enstrophy and neg- ative pressure seem to imply that the Navier–Stokes equations using our initial data develop a potential finite time singularity. We have also examined the Ladyzhenskaya– Prodi–Serrin regularity criteria (Kiselev and Ladyzhenskaya in Izv Akad Nauk SSSR Ser Mat 21(5):655–690, 1957; Prodi in Ann Math Pura Appl 4(48):173–182, 1959; Serrin in Arch Ration Mech Anal 9:187–191, 1962) that are based on the growth rate of Lqt Lxp norm of the velocity with 3/p + 2/q ≤ 1. Our numerical results for the cases of (p,q) = (4,8), (6,4), (9,3) and (p,q) = (∞,2) provide strong evidence for the potentially singular behavior of the Navier–Stokes equations. The critical case of (p,q) = (3,∞) is more difficult to verify numerically due to the extremely slow growth rate in the L3 norm of the velocity field and the significant contribution from the far field where we have a relatively coarse grid. Our numerical study shows that while the global L3 norm of the velocity grows very slowly, the localized version of the L 3 norm of the velocity experiences rapid dynamic growth relative to the localized L 3 norm of the initial velocity. This provides further evidence for the potentially singular behavior of the Navier–Stokes equations.more » « less

We prove the existence of a weak solution to a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem between the flow of an incompressible, viscous fluid modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations, and a poroviscoelastic medium modeled by the Biot equations. The two are nonlinearly coupled over an interface with mass and elastic energy, modeled by a reticular plate equation, which is transparent to fluid flow. The existence proof is constructive, consisting of two steps. First, the existence of a weak solution to a regularized problem is shown. Next, a weak-classical consistency result is obtained, showing that the weak solution to the regularized problem converges, as the regularization parameter approaches zero, to a classical solution to the original problem, when such a classical solution exists. While the assumptions in the first step only require the Biot medium to be poroelastic, the second step requires additional regularity, namely, that the Biot medium is poroviscoelastic. This is the first weak solution existence result for an FSI problem with nonlinear coupling involving a Biot model for poro(visco)elastic media.more » « less

Abstract We consider solutions of the Navier‐Stokes equations in 3d with vortex filament initial data of arbitrary circulation, that is, initial vorticity given by a divergence‐free vector‐valued measure of arbitrary mass supported on a smooth curve. First, we prove global well‐posedness for perturbations of the Oseen vortex column in scaling‐critical spaces. Second, we prove local well‐posedness (in a sense to be made precise) when the filament is a smooth, closed, non‐self‐intersecting curve. Besides their physical interest, these results are the first to give well‐posedness in a neighborhood of large self‐similar solutions of 3d Navier‐Stokes, as well as solutions that are locally approximately self‐similar. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

We prove the inviscid limit for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for data that are analytic only near the boundary in a general two-dimensional bounded domain. Our proof is direct, using the vorticity formulation with a nonlocal boundary condition, the explicit semigroup of the linear Stokes problem near the flatten boundary, and the standard wellposedness theory of Navier-Stokes equations in Sobolev spaces away from the boundary.
