We give a comprehensive study of the 3D Navier–Stokes–Brinkman–Forchheimer equations in a bounded domain endowed with the Dirichlet boundary conditions and non-autonomous external forces. This study includes the questions related with the regularity of weak solutions, their dissipativity in higher energy spaces and the existence of the corresponding uniform attractors

This paper proves the energy equality for distributional solutions to fractional Navier-Stokes equations, which gives a new proof and covers the classical result of Galdi [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 147 (2019), 785–792].

In this paper, we considered the global strong solution to the 3D incompressible micropolar equations with fractional partial dissipation. Whether or not the classical solution to the 3D Navier–Stokes equations can develop finite-time singularity remains an outstanding open problem, so does the same issue on the 3D incompressible micropolar equations. We establish the global-in-time existence and uniqueness strong solutions to the 3D incompressible micropolar equations with fractional partial velocity dissipation and microrotation diffusion with the initial data $(\mathbf {u}_0,\ \mathbf {w}_0)\in H^1(\mathbb {R}^3)$.

In this paper, we study a dissipative systems modelling electrohydrodynamics in incompressible viscous fluids. The system consists of the Navier–Stokes equations coupled with a classical Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations. In the three-dimensional case, we establish a global regularity criteria in terms of the middle eigenvalue of the strain tensor in the framework of the anisotropic Lorentz spaces for local smooth solution. The proof relies on the identity for entropy growth introduced by Miller in the Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. [16].

We show local higher integrability of derivative of a suitable weak solution to the surface growth model, provided a scale-invariant quantity is locally bounded. If additionally our scale-invariant quantity is small, we prove local smoothness of solutions.

We deal with an initial boundary value problem of nonhomogeneous Boussinesq equations for magnetohydrodynamics convection in two-dimensional domains. We prove that there is a unique global strong solution. Moreover, we show that the temperature converges exponentially to zero in H1 as time goes to infinity. In particular, the initial data can be arbitrarily large and vacuum is allowed. Our analysis relies on energy method and a lemma of Desjardins (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 137:135–158, 1997).

This paper studies the regularity results of classical solutions to the two-dimensional critical Oldroyd-B model in the corotational case. The critical case refers to the full Laplacian dissipation in the velocity or the full Laplacian dissipation in the non-Newtonian part of the stress tensor. Whether or not their classical solutions develop finite time singularities is a difficult problem and remains open. The object of this paper is two-fold. Firstly, we establish the global regularity result to the case when the critical case occurs in the velocity and a logarithmic dissipation occurs in the non-Newtonian part of the stress tensor. Secondly, when the critical case occurs in the non-Newtonian part of the stress tensor, we first present many interesting global a priori bounds, then establish a conditional global regularity in terms of the non-Newtonian part of the stress tensor. This criterion comes naturally from our approach to obtain a global L∞-bound for the vorticity ω.

In this article, we study theoretically and numerically the interaction of a vortex induced by a rotating cylinder with a perpendicular plane. We show the existence of weak solutions to the swirling vortex models by using the Hopf extension method, and by an elegant contradiction argument, respectively. We demonstrate numerically that the model could produce phenomena of swirling vortex including boundary layer pumping and two-celled vortex that are observed in potential line vortex interacting with a plane and in a tornado.

We show that in an infinite straight pipe of arbitrary (sufficiently smooth) cross-section, a generalized non-Newtonian liquid admits one and only one fully developed time-periodic flow (Womersley flow) when either the flow rate (problem 1) or the axial pressure gradient (problem 2) is prescribed in analogous time-periodic fashion. In addition, we show that the relevant solution depends continuously upon the data in appropriate norms. As is well known from the Newtonian counterpart of the problem, the latter is pivotal for the analysis of flow in a general unbounded pipe system with cylindrical outlets (Leray's problem). It is also worth remarking that problem 1 possesses an intrinsic interest from both mathematical and physical viewpoints, in that it constitutes a (nonlinear) inverse problem with a significant bearing on several applications, including blood flow modelling in large arteries.

Analytical study of the regularization of the Boussinesq system is performed in frequency space using Fourier theory. Existence and uniqueness of weak solutions with minimum regularity requirement are proved. Convergence results of the unique weak solution of the regularized Boussinesq system to a weak Leray–Hopf solution of the Boussinesq system are established as the regularizing parameter $\alpha$ vanishes. The proofs are done in the frequency space and use energy methods, the Arselà-Ascoli compactness theorem and a Friedrichs-like approximation scheme.

The weighted energy theory for Navier-Stokes equations in 2D strips is developed. Based on this theory, the existence of a solution in the uniformly local phase space (without any spatial decaying assumptions), its uniqueness and the existence of a global attractor are verified. In particular, this phase space contains the 2D Poiseuille flows.
