We study the limiting behavior of viscous incompressible flows when the fluid domain is allowed to expand as the viscosity vanishes. We describe precise conditions under which the limiting flow satisfies the full space Euler equations. The argument is based on truncation and on energy estimates, following the structure of the proof of Katos criterion for the vanishing viscosity limit. This work complements previous work by the authors, see [Kelliher, Comm. Math. Phys. 278 (2008), 753-773] and [arXiv:0801.4935v1].

We show strong convergence of the vorticities in the vanishing viscosity limit for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on the two-dimensional torus, assuming only that the initial vorticity of the limiting Euler equations is in $L^p$ for some $p>1$. This substantially extends a recent result of Constantin, Drivas and Elgindi, who proved strong convergence in the case $p=infty$. Our proof, which relies on the classical renormalization theory of DiPerna-Lions, is surprisingly simple.
In this article we consider viscous flow in the exterior of an obstacle satisfying the standard no-slip boundary condition at the surface of the obstacle. We seek conditions under which solutions of the Navier-Stokes system in the exterior domain converge to solutions of the Euler system in the full space when both viscosity and the size of the obstacle vanish. We prove that this convergence is true assuming two hypothesis: first, that the initial exterior domain velocity converges strongly in $L^2$ to the full-space initial velocity and second, that the diameter of the obstacle is smaller than a suitable constant times viscosity, or, in other words, that the obstacle is sufficiently small. The convergence holds as long as the solution to the limit problem is known to exist and stays sufficiently smooth. This work complements the study of incompressible flow around small obstacles, which has been carried out in [1,2,3] [1] D. Iftimie and J. Kelliher, {it Remarks on the vanishing obstacle limit for a 3D viscous incompressible fluid.} Preprint available at http://math.univ-lyon1.fr/~iftimie/ARTICLES/viscoushrink3d.pdf . [2] D. Iftimie, M.

We consider the damped and driven Navier--Stokes system with stress free boundary conditions and the damped Euler system in a bounded domain $Omegasubsetmathbf{R}^2$. We show that the damped Euler system has a (strong) global attractor in~$H^1(Omega)$. We also show that in the vanishing viscosity limit the global attractors of the Navier--Stokes system converge in the non-symmetric Hausdorff distance in $H^1(Omega)$ to the the strong global attractor of the limiting damped Euler system (whose solutions are not necessarily unique).
Given a strictly hyperbolic, genuinely nonlinear system of conservation laws, we prove the a priori bound $big|u(t,cdot)-u^ve(t,cdot)big|_{L^1}= O(1)(1+t)cdot sqrtve|lnve|$ on the distance between an exact BV solution $u$ and a viscous approximation $u^ve$, letting the viscosity coefficient $veto 0$. In the proof, starting from $u$ we construct an approximation of the viscous solution $u^ve$ by taking a mollification $u*phi_{strut sqrtve}$ and inserting viscous shock profiles at the locations of finitely many large shocks, for each fixed $ve$. Error estimates are then obtained by introducing new Lyapunov functionals which control shock interactions, interactions between waves of different families and by using sharp decay estimates for positive nonlinear waves.
We continue the work of Lopes Filho, Mazzucato and Nussenzveig Lopes [LMN], on the vanishing viscosity limit of circularly symmetric viscous flow in a disk with rotating boundary, shown there to converge to the inviscid limit in $L^2$-norm as long as the prescribed angular velocity $alpha(t)$ of the boundary has bounded total variation. Here we establish convergence in stronger $L^2$ and $L^p$-Sobolev spaces, allow for more singular angular velocities $alpha$, and address the issue of analyzing the behavior of the boundary layer. This includes an analysis of concentration of vorticity in the vanishing viscosity limit. We also consider such flows on an annulus, whose two boundary components rotate independently.
