We analyze the stability properties of the so-called triple deck model, a classical refinement of the Prandtl equation to describe boundary layer separation. Combining the methodology introduced in [2], based on complex analysis tools, and stability estimates inspired from [3], we exhibit unstable linearizations of the triple deck equation. The growth rates of the corresponding unstable eigenmodes scale linearly with the tangential frequency. This shows that the recent result of Iyer and Vicol [11] of local well-posedness for analytic data is essentially optimal.
Norm inflation implies certain discontinuous dependence of the solution on the initial value. The well-posedness of the mild solution means the existence and uniqueness of the fixed points of the corresponding integral equation. For ${rm BMO}^{-1}$, Auscher-Dubois-Tchamitchian proved that Koch-Tatarus solution is stable. In this paper, we construct a non-Gauss flow function to show that, for classic Navier-Stokes equations, wellposedness and norm inflation may have no conflict and stability may have meaning different to $L^{infty}(({rm BMO}^{-1})^{n})$.
We study the Cauchy problem with periodic initial data for the forward-backward heat equation defined by the J-self-adjoint linear operator L depending on a small parameter. The problem has been originated from the lubrication approximation of a viscous fluid film on the inner surface of the rotating cylinder. For a certain range of the parameter we rigorously prove the conjecture, based on the numerical evidence, that the set of eigenvectors of the operator $L$ does not form a Riesz basis in $L^2 (-pi,pi)$. Our method can be applied to a wide range of the evolutional problems given by $PT-$symmetric operators.
In this paper, we give an instability criterion for the Prandtl equations in three space variables, which shows that the monotonicity condition of tangential velocity fields is not sufficient for the well-posedness of the three dimensional Prandtl equations, in contrast to the classical well-posedness theory of the Prandtl equations in two space variables under the Oleinik monotonicity assumption of the tangential velocity. Both of linear stability and nonlinear stability are considered. This criterion shows that the monotonic shear flow is linear stable for the three dimensional Prandtl equations if and only if the tangential velocity field direction is invariant with respect to the normal variable, and this result is an exact complement to our recent work cite{LWY} on the well-posedness theory for the three dimensional Prandtl equations with special structure.
The aim of this article is to prove new ill-posedness results concerning the nonlinear good Boussinesq equation, for both the periodic and non-periodic initial value problems. Specifically, we prove that the associated flow map is not continuous in Sobolev spaces $H^s$, for all $s<-1/2$.
In the present paper, we show the ill-posedness of the free boundary problem of the incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in two spatial dimensions for any positive vacuum permeability $mu_0$, in Sobolev spaces. The analysis is uniform for any $mu_0>0$.
