Overview of NSE

1.1

Physical properties remarks

These equations establish that changes in momentum (acceleration) of uid particles are simply the product of changes in pressure and dissipative viscous forces (similar to friction) acting inside the uid. These viscous forces originate in molecular interactions and dictate how sticky (viscous) a uid is. Thus, the Navier-Stokes equations are a dynamical statement of the balance of forces acting at any given region of the uid.

This is formally a coupled system in four unknowns (u1 , u2 , u3 ), p and 2 eqns, and is therefore determinable. To uncouple, write (?) Difculty: p is presumably a
function of 4 variables, but my eqn doesnt tell me; this makes p difcult to handle.For uid have boundary conds., but for p initial condition

Shear ow

An element of solid has a preferred shape, to which it relaxes when the external forces on it are withdrawn (whereas a uid does not). Looking at a rectangular element ABCD, under the action of a shear force F , the element assumes the shape ABC D . If the solid is per-

In contrast a uid deforms continuously under the action of a shear force (however small). Thus the element of the uid ABCD conned between parallel plates deforms to shapes such as ABC D and ABC D as long as the force F is maintained on the upper place.

How to Measure Viscosity


First measure the normal force that is exerted on the plate. From this we can determine pressure p: u measure area A, the strain rate F= A u y to determine experimentally

Steady-state Stokes - Overview

u0 , u0 = 0. In NSE (or just Stokes) the following boundary conditions are commonplace:

u = 0 no slip boundary - uid will have zero velocity relative to the boundary.

u=0 or ( u) v = 0

Function spaces

Once we have the variational formulation of u + p = 0 in u = 0 on we have to set up the corresponding function space. The usual Sobolev space is decient because it requires information about u, whereas here only u is known. In the following, we consider only vector elds that are divergence-free.

Density theorem
We denote the space C () as the space of smooth functions up to the boundary. For p = 2, 1 p < , this space is dense in W k,p (). k,p Note that Cc W k,p = W0 and u = D u = 0 k 1 on . ?

What is u = 0 here? In this space, u is = 0, remember though we are taking distributional derivatives. Since u = 0, can we talk about u . If u is a L2 function whose distributional derivative is zero, then do we have enough information? No: If only u L2 , then the boundary cant be dened. We have partial information with u . This expression is well dened when u H 1 2 ()

Trace and Stokes formula

For C 1,1 there exists a linear continuous operator E() H 2 () require the (stronger) C 1,1 regularity here and 1 1 dual space. H 2 () = H 2 () Furthermore the following hold: 1. u = u u C 1 ().

2. Stokes formula holds:


u restrict normal component

div (u) + u u = (u ) .
0 restrict

this allows us to integrate by parts in the space E()

3. ker( ) = E0 () and
E0 () = Cc ()E()

For Sobolev spaces we had that the whole component on the boundary was zero; here, we have no information about the tangent component, just the normal component. For the function u the normal component is well dened, but grad u is not. Dx1 , Dx2 , . . . are not dened.

For the Navier-Stokes Equations we introduction the nonlinear advection term u u, i.e. the advection operator is

u=u

+v +w . x y z

Picture advection as transport of salt dumped in a river. If the river is originally fresh water and is owing quickly, the predominant form of transport of the salt in the water will be advective, as the water ow itself would transport the salt. If the river were not owing, the salt would simply disperse outwards from its source in a diusive manner, which is not advection. Very few exact solutions of NSE are known in closed form. In general, exact solutions are possible only when the nonlinear terms vanish identically.

Lower semicontinuity

weaker than continuity A function f is upper (lower) semi-continuous at a point x0 if, roughly speaking, the function values for arguments near x0 are either close to f (x0 ) or less than f (x0 ). A lower semi-continuous function. The solid red dot indicates f (x0 ) In particular, f is lower semi-continuous at x0 if for every > 0 there exists a neighborhood U of x0 such that f (x) f (x0 ) for all x U . Equivalently, this can be expressed as

lim inf f (x) f (x0 )


xx0

A function is lower semi-continuous i x X f (x) > is an open set for every R. A function is continuous at x0 i it is upper and lower semicontinuous there.
