Title: The linearized 3d Euler equations with inflow, outflow
In 1983, Antontsev, Kazhikhov, and Monakhov published a proof of the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the 3D Euler equations in which on certain inflow boundary components fluid is forced into the domain while on other outflow components fluid is drawn out of the domain. A key tool they used was the linearized Euler equations in vorticity form. We extend their result on the linearized problem to multiply connected domains and establish compatibility conditions on the initial data that allow higher regularity solutions.  more » « less

    Abstract Smooth solutions of the incompressible Euler equations are characterized by the property that circulation around material loops is conserved. This is the Kelvin theorem. Likewise, smooth solutions of Navier–Stokes are characterized by a generalized Kelvin's theorem, introduced by Constantin–Iyer (2008). In this note, we introduce a class of stochastic fluid equations, whose smooth solutions are characterized by natural extensions of the Kelvin theorems of their deterministic counterparts, which hold along certain noisy flows. These equations are called the stochastic Euler–Poincaré and stochastic Navier–Stokes–Poincaré equations respectively. The stochastic Euler–Poincaré equations were previously derived from a stochastic variational principle by Holm (2015), which we briefly review. Solutions of these equations do not obey pathwise energy conservation/dissipation in general. In contrast, we also discuss a class of stochastic fluid models, solutions of which possess energy theorems but do not, in general, preserve circulation theorems.

    We prove nonlinear asymptotic stability of a large class of monotonic shear flows among solutions of the 2D Euler equations in the channel $$\mathbb{T}\times[0,1]$$. More precisely, we consider shear flows $(b(y),0)$ given by a function $$b$$ which is Gevrey smooth, strictly increasing, and linear outside a compact subset of the interval $(0,1)$ (to avoid boundary contributions which are incompatible with inviscid damping). We also assume that the associated linearized operator satisfies a suitable spectral condition, which is needed to prove linear inviscid damping. Under these assumptions, we show that if $$u$$ is a solution which is a small and Gevrey smooth perturbation of such a shear flow $(b(y),0)$ at time $t=0$, then the velocity field $$u$$ converges strongly to a nearby shear flow as the time goes to infinity. This is the first nonlinear asymptotic stability result for Euler equations around general steady solutions for which the linearized flow cannot be explicitly solved.

  3. Abstract We consider the finite element approximation of a coupled fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) system, which comprises a three‐dimensional (3D) Stokes flow and a two‐dimensional (2D) fourth‐order Euler–Bernoulli or Kirchhoff plate. The interaction of these parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDE) occurs at the boundary interface which is assumed to be fixed. The vertical displacement of the plate dynamics evolves on the flat portion of the boundary where the coupling conditions are implemented via the matching velocities of the plate and fluid flow, as well as the Dirichlet boundary trace of the pressure. This pressure term also acts as a coupling agent, since it appears as a forcing term on the flat, elastic plate domain. Our main focus in this work is to generate some numerical results concerning the approximate solutions to the FSI model. For this, we propose a numerical algorithm that sequentially solves the fluid and plate subsystems through an effective decoupling approach. Numerical results of test problems are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method.

  4. Abstract In this article we show that the Euler equations, when linearized around a low frequency perturbation to Couette flow, exhibit norm inflation in Gevrey-type spaces as time tends to infinity. Thus, echo chains are shown to be a (secondary) linear instability mechanism. Furthermore, we develop a more precise analysis of cancellations in the resonance mechanism, which yields a modified exponent in the high frequency regime. This allows us, in addition, to remove a logarithmic constraint on the perturbations present in prior works by Bedrossian, Deng and Masmoudi, and to construct solutions which are initially in a Gevrey class for which the velocity asymptotically converges in Sobolev regularity but diverges in Gevrey regularity.

  5. We consider the Euler equations for the potential flow of an ideal incompressible fluid of infinite depth with a free surface in two-dimensional geometry. Both gravity and surface tension forces are taken into account. A time-dependent conformal mapping is used which maps the lower complex half-plane of the auxiliary complex variable $$w$$ into the fluid’s area, with the real line of $$w$$ mapped into the free fluid’s surface. We reformulate the exact Eulerian dynamics through a non-canonical non-local Hamiltonian structure for a pair of the Hamiltonian variables. These two variables are the imaginary part of the conformal map and the fluid’s velocity potential, both evaluated at the fluid’s free surface. The corresponding Poisson bracket is non-degenerate, i.e. it does not have any Casimir invariant. Any two functionals of the conformal mapping commute with respect to the Poisson bracket. The new Hamiltonian structure is a generalization of the canonical Hamiltonian structure of Zakharov ( J. Appl. Mech. Tech. Phys. , vol. 9(2), 1968, pp. 190–194) which is valid only for solutions for which the natural surface parametrization is single-valued, i.e. each value of the horizontal coordinate corresponds only to a single point on the free surface. In contrast, the new non-canonical Hamiltonian equations are valid for arbitrary nonlinear solutions (including multiple-valued natural surface parametrization) and are equivalent to the Euler equations. We also consider a generalized hydrodynamics with the additional physical terms in the Hamiltonian beyond the Euler equations. In that case we identify powerful reductions that allow one to find general classes of particular solutions.
