Nonuniqueness for the Navier–Stokes equations and model equations / Singularities in Fluid Mechanics
ENS Salle WJG: In this talk, I will discuss fundamental properties of the solutions to the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in three dimensions. After reviewing the classical local well-posedness results, I will explain how numerical simulations suggest local ill-posedness at the borderline of the known results. I will discuss a plausible scenario of non-uniqueness from smooth initial data through finite-time blow-up. Finally, I will describe how this scenario is actually happening in a model equation sharing the same fundamental properties as the Navier–Stokes equations.KM: Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative […]
