An old problem asks whether bounded mild ancient solutions of the 3 dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are constants. While the full 3 dimensional problem seems out of reach, in the works cite{KNSS, SS09}, the authors expressed their belief that the following conjecture should be true. For incompressible axially-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations (ASNS) in three dimensions: textit{bounded mild ancient solutions are constant}. Understanding of such solutions could play useful roles in the study of global regularity of solutions to the ASNS. In this article, we essentially prove this conjecture in the special case that $u$ is periodic in $z$. To the best of our knowledge, this seems to be the first result on this conjecture without unverified decay condition. It also shows that periodic solutions are not models of possible singularity or high velocity region. Some partial result in the non-periodic case is also given.
We investigate the decay properties of smooth axially symmetric D-solutions to the steady Navier-Stokes equations. The achievements of this paper are two folds. One is improved decay rates of $u_{th}$ and $ a {bf u}$, especially we show that $|u_{th}(r,z)|leq cleft(f{log r}{r}right)^{f 12}$ for any smooth axially symmetric D-solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. These improvement are based on improved weighted estimates of $om_{th}$, integral representations of ${bf u}$ in terms of $bm{om}=textit{curl }{bf u}$ and $A_p$ weight for singular integral operators, which yields good decay estimates for $( a u_r, a u_z)$ and $(om_r, om_{z})$, where $bm{om}= om_r {bf e}_r + om_{th} {bf e}_{th}+ om_z {bf e}_z$. Another is the first decay rate estimates in the $Oz$-direction for smooth axially symmetric flows without swirl. We do not need any small assumptions on the forcing term.
In this paper we study Liouville properties of smooth steady axially symmetric solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. First, we provide another version of the Liouville theorem of cite{kpr15} in the case of zero swirl, where we replaced the Dirichlet integrability condition by mild decay conditions. Then we prove some Liouville theorems under the assumption $|f{u_r}{r}{bf 1}_{{u_r< -f 1r}}|_{L^{3/2}(mbR^3)}< C_{sharp}$ where $C_{sharp}$ is a universal constant to be specified. In particular, if $u_r(r,z)geq -f1r$ for $forall (r,z)in[0,oo)timesmbR$, then ${bf u}equiv 0$. Liouville theorems also hold if $displaystylelim_{|x|to oo}Ga =0$ or $Gain L^q(mbR^3)$ for some $qin [2,oo)$ where $Ga= r u_{th}$. We also established some interesting inequalities for $Omco f{p_z u_r-p_r u_z}{r}$, showing that $ aOm$ can be bounded by $Om$ itself. All these results are extended to the axially symmetric MHD and Hall-MHD equations with ${bf u}=u_r(r,z){bf e}_r +u_{th}(r,z) {bf e}_{th} + u_z(r,z){bf e}_z, {bf h}=h_{th}(r,z){bf e}_{th}$, indicating that the swirl component of the magnetic field does not affect the triviality. Especially, we establish the maximum principle for the total head pressure $Phi=f {1}{2} (|{bf u}|^2+|{bf h}|^2)+p$ for this special solution class.
The asymptotic behavior of weak time-periodic solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations with a drift term in the three-dimensional whole space is investigated. The velocity field is decomposed into a time-independent and a remaining part, and separate asymptotic expansions are derived for both parts and their gradients. One observes that the behavior at spatial infinity is determined by the corresponding Oseen fundamental solutions.
For incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, Necas-Ruzicka-Sverak proved that self-similar solution has to be zero in 1996. Further, Yang-Yang-Wu find symmetry property plays an important role in the study of ill-posedness. In this paper, we consider two types of symmetry property. We search special symmetric and uniform analytic functions to approach the solution and establish global uniform analytic and symmetric solution with initial value in general symmetric Fourier-Herz space. For two kinds of symmetry of initial data, we prove that the solution has also the same symmetric structure. Further, we prove that the uniform analyticity is equivalent to the convolution inequality on Herz spaces. By these ways, we can use symmetric and uniform analytic functions to approximate the solution.
In this paper, we investigate the nonhomogeneous boundary value problem for the steady Navier-Stokes equations in a helically symmetric spatial domain. When data is assumed to be helical invariant and satisfies the compatibility condition, we prove this problem has at least one helical invariant solution.
