A FULL DISCRETE STABILIZED METHOD FOR THE OPTIMAL CONTROL OF THE UNSTEADY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this paper, a full discrete local projection stabilized （LPS） method is proposed to solve the optimal control problems of the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations with equal order elements. Convective effects and pressure are both stabilized by using the LPS method. A priori error estimates uniformly with respect to the Reynolds number are obtained, providing the true solutions are sufficient smooth. Numerical experiments are implemented to illustrate and confirm our theoretical analysis.

ON LOCAL CONTROLLABILITY FOR COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DENSITY DEPENDENT VISCOSITIES

In this paper,we study the controllability of compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density dependent viscosities.For when the shear viscosityμis a positive constant and the bulk viscosityλis a function of the density,it is proven that the system is exactly locally controllable to a constant target trajectory by using boundary control functions.

GLOBAL SOLUTIONS TO THE 2D COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH SOME LARGE INITIAL DATA

We consider the global well-posedness of strong solutions to the Cauchy problem of compressible barotropic Navier-Stokes equations in R^(2). By exploiting the global-in-time estimate to the two-dimensional(2D for short) classical incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and using techniques developed in(SIAM J Math Anal, 2020, 52(2): 1806–1843), we derive the global existence of solutions provided that the initial data satisfies some smallness condition. In particular, the initial velocity with some arbitrary Besov norm of potential part Pu_0 and large high oscillation are allowed in our results. Moreover, we also construct an example with the initial data involving such a smallness condition, but with a norm that is arbitrarily large.

THE LOW MACH NUMBER LIMIT FOR ISENTROPIC COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH A REVISED MAXWELL'S LAW

We investigate the low Mach number limit for the isentropic compressible NavierStokes equations with a revised Maxwell's law(with Galilean invariance) in R^(3). By applying the uniform estimates of the error system, it is proven that the solutions of the isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with a revised Maxwell's law converge to that of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations as the Mach number tends to zero. Moreover, the convergence rates are also obtained.

Linear System Solutions of the Navier-Stokes Equations with Application to Flow over a Backward-Facing Step

Many applications in fluid mechanics require the numerical solution of sequences of linear systems typically issued from finite element discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations. The resulting matrices then exhibit a saddle point structure. To achieve this task, a Newton-based root-finding algorithm is usually employed which in turn necessitates to solve a saddle point system at every Newton iteration. The involved linear systems being large scale and ill-conditioned, effective linear solvers must be implemented. Here, we develop and test several methods for solving the saddle point systems, considering in particular the LU factorization, as direct approach, and the preconditioned generalized minimal residual (ΡGMRES) solver, an iterative approach. We apply the various solvers within the root-finding algorithm for Flow over backward facing step systems. The particularity of Flow over backward facing step system is an interesting case for studying the performance and solution strategy of a turbulence model. In this case, the flow is subjected to a sudden increase of cross-sectional area, resulting in a separation of flow starting at the point of expansion, making the system of differential equations particularly stiff. We assess the performance of the direct and iterative solvers in terms of computational time, numbers of Newton iterations and time steps.

UNSTEADY/STEADY NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL INCOMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS ON ARTIFICIAL COMPRESSIBILITY

A mixed algorithm of central and upwind difference scheme for the solution of steady/unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. The algorithm is based on the method of artificial compressibility and uses a third-order flux-difference splitting technique for the convective terms and the second-order central difference for the viscous terms. The numerical flux of semi-discrete equations is computed by using the Roe approximation. Time accuracy is obtained in the numerical solutions by subiterating the equations in pseudotime for each physical time step. The algebraic turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax is ulsed in this work. As examples, the solutions of flow through two dimensional flat, airfoil, prolate spheroid and cerebral aneurysm are computed and the results are compared with experimental data. The results show that the coefficient of pressure and skin friction are agreement with experimental data, the largest discrepancy occur in the separation region where the lagebraic turbulence model of Baldwin-Lomax could not exactly predict the flow.

Auxiliary Equations Approach for the Stochastic Unsteady Navier-Stokes Equations with Additive Random Noise

This paper presents a Martingale regularization method for the stochas-tic Navier–Stokes equations with additive noise.The original system is split into two equivalent parts,the linear stochastic Stokes equations with Martingale solution and the stochastic modified Navier–Stokes equations with relatively-higher regular-ities.Meanwhile,a fractional Laplace operator is introduced to regularize the noise term.The stability and convergence of numerical scheme for the pathwise modified Navier–Stokes equations are proved.The comparisons of non-regularized and reg-ularized noises for the Navier–Stokes system are numerically presented to further demonstrate the efficiency of our numerical scheme.

A New Approach to Solving Two-Dimensional Unsteady Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations

This paper proposes a new approach that combines the reduced differential transform method (RDTM), a resummation method based on the Yang transform, and a Padé approximant to the kinetically reduced local Navier-Stokes equation to find approximate solutions to the problem of lid-driven square cavity flow. The new approach, called PYRDM, considerably improves the convergence rate of the truncated series solution of RDTM and also is based on a simple process that yields highly precise estimates. The numerical results achieved by this method are compared to earlier studies’ results. Our results indicate that this method is more efficient and precise in generating analytic solutions. Furthermore, it provides highly precise solutions with good convergence that is simple to apply for great Reynolds and low Mach numbers. Moreover, the new solution’ graphs demonstrate the new approach’s validity, usefulness, and necessity.

In this paper,we study the one-dimensional motion of viscous gas near a vacuum,with the gas connecting to a vacuum state with a jump in density.The interface behavior,the pointwise decay rates of the density function and the expanding rates of the interface are obtained with the viscosity coefficientμ(ρ)=ρ^(α)for any 0<α<1;this includes the timeweighted boundedness from below and above.The smoothness of the solution is discussed.Moreover,we construct a class of self-similar classical solutions which exhibit some interesting properties,such as optimal estimates.The present paper extends the results in[Luo T,Xin Z P,Yang T.SIAM J Math Anal,2000,31(6):1175-1191]to the jump boundary conditions case with density-dependent viscosity.

THE REGULARITY AND UNIQUENESS OF A GLOBAL SOLUTION TO THE ISENTROPIC NAVIER-STOKES EQUATION WITH ROUGH INITIAL DATA

A global weak solution to the isentropic Navier-Stokes equation with initial data around a constant state in the L^(1)∩BV class was constructed in[1].In the current paper,we will continue to study the uniqueness and regularity of the constructed solution.The key ingredients are the Holder continuity estimates of the heat kernel in both spatial and time variables.With these finer estimates,we obtain higher order regularity of the constructed solution to Navier-Stokes equation,so that all of the derivatives in the equation of conservative form are in the strong sense.Moreover,this regularity also allows us to identify a function space such that the stability of the solutions can be established there,which eventually implies the uniqueness.

Meshfree-based physics-informed neural networks for the unsteady Oseen equations

We propose the meshfree-based physics-informed neural networks for solving the unsteady Oseen equations.Firstly,based on the ideas of meshfree and small sample learning,we only randomly select a small number of spatiotemporal points to train the neural network instead of forming a mesh.Specifically,we optimize the neural network by minimizing the loss function to satisfy the differential operators,initial condition and boundary condition.Then,we prove the convergence of the loss function and the convergence of the neural network.In addition,the feasibility and effectiveness of the method are verified by the results of numerical experiments,and the theoretical derivation is verified by the relative error between the neural network solution and the analytical solution.

Forward flight of a model butterfly: Simulation by equations of motion coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations

The forward flight of a model butterfly was stud- ied by simulation using the equations of motion coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations. The model butterfly moved under the action of aerodynamic and gravitational forces, where the aerodynamic forces were generated by flapping wings which moved with the body, allowing the body os- cillations of the model butterfly to be simulated. The main results are as follows： （1） The aerodynamic force produced by the wings is approximately perpendicular to the long-axis of body and is much larger in the downstroke than in the up- stroke. In the downstroke the body pitch angle is small and the large aerodynamic force points up and slightly backward, giving the weight-supporting vertical force and a small neg- ative horizontal force, whilst in the upstroke, the body an- gle is large and the relatively small aerodynamic force points forward and slightly downward, giving a positive horizon- tal force which overcomes the body drag and the negative horizontal force generated in the downstroke. （2） Pitching oscillation of the butterfly body plays an equivalent role of the wing-rotation of many other insects. （3） The body-mass- specific power of the model butterfly is 33.3 W/kg, not very different from that of many other insects, e.g., fruitflies and dragonflies.

INTERFACE BEHAVIOR OF COMPRESSIBLE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH DISCONTINUOUS BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AND VACUM

In this paper,we study a one-dimensional motion of viscous gas near vacuum. We are interested in the case that the gas is in contact with the vacuum at a finite interval. This is a free boundary problem for the one-dimensional isentropic Navier-Stokes equations, and the free boundaries are the interfaces separating the gas from vacuum,across which the density changes discontinuosly.Smoothness of the solutions and the uniqueness of the weak solutions are also discussed.The present paper extends results in Luo-Xin-Yang[12] to the jump boundary conditions case.

ZERO DISSIPATION LIMIT OF THE COMPRESSIBLE HEAT-CONDUCTING NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SHOCK

The zero dissipation limit of the compressible heat-conducting Navier–Stokes equations in the presence of the shock is investigated. It is shown that when the heat conduction coefficient κ and the viscosity coefficient ε satisfy κ = O（ε）, κ/ε≥ c 〉 0, as ε→ 0 （see （1.3））, if the solution of the corresponding Euler equations is piecewise smooth with shock wave satisfying the Lax entropy condition, then there exists a smooth solution to the Navier–Stokes equations, which converges to the piecewise smooth shock solution of the Euler equations away from the shock discontinuity at a rate of ε. The proof is given by a combination of the energy estimates and the matched asymptotic analysis introduced in [3].

A NEW NONCONFORMING MIXED FINITE ELEMENT SCHEME FOR THE STATIONARY NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS

In this article, a new stable nonconforming mixed finite element scheme is proposed for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations, in which a new low order Crouzeix- Raviart type nonconforming rectangular element is taken for approximating space for the velocity and the piecewise constant element for the pressure. The optimal order error estimates for the approximation of both the velocity and the pressure in L2-norm are established, as well as one in broken H1-norm for the velocity. Numerical experiments are given which are consistent with our theoretical analysis.
