In this paper we study the dynamics of an incompressible viscous fluid evolving in an open-top container in two dimensions. The fluid mechanics are dictated by the Navier-Stokes equations. The upper boundary of the fluid is free and evolves within the container. The fluid is acted upon by a uniform gravitational field, and capillary forces are accounted for along the free boundary. The triple-phase interfaces where the fluid, air above the vessel, and solid vessel wall come in contact are called contact points, and the angles formed at the contact point are called contact angles. The model that we consider integrates boundary conditions that allow for full motion of the contact points and angles. Equilibrium configurations consist of quiescent fluid within a domain whose upper boundary is given as the graph of a function minimizing a gravity-capillary energy functional, subject to a fixed mass constraint. The equilibrium contact angles can take on any values between $0$ and $pi$ depending on the choice of capillary parameters. The main thrust of the paper is the development of a scheme of a priori estimates that show that solutions emanating from data sufficiently close to the equilibrium exist globally in time and decay to equilibrium at an exponential rate.

In an effort to study the stability of contact lines in fluids, we consider the dynamics of an incompressible viscous Stokes fluid evolving in a two-dimensional open-top vessel under the influence of gravity. This is a free boundary problem: the interface between the fluid in the vessel and the air above (modeled by a trivial fluid) is free to move and experiences capillary forces. The three-phase interface where the fluid, air, and solid vessel wall meet is known as a contact point, and the angle formed between the free interface and the vessel is called the contact angle. We consider a model of this problem that allows for fully dynamic contact points and angles. We develop a scheme of a priori estimates for the model, which then allow us to show that for initial data sufficiently close to equilibrium, the model admits global solutions that decay to equilibrium exponentially fast.
Geometric structures naturally appear in fluid motions. One of the best known examples is Saturns Hexagon, the huge cloud pattern at the level of Saturns north pole, remarkable both for the regularity of its shape and its stability during the past decades. In this paper we will address the spontaneous formation of hexagonal structures in planar viscous flows, in the classical setting of Lerays solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Our analysis also makes evidence of the isotropic character of the energy density of the fluid for sufficently localized 2D flows in the far field: it implies, in particular, that fluid particles of such flows are nowhere at rest at large distances.
We study the long-time behavior an extended Navier-Stokes system in $R^2$ where the incompressibility constraint is relaxed. This is one of several reduced models of Grubb and Solonnikov 89 and was revisited recently (Liu, Liu, Pego 07) in bounded domains in order to explain the fast convergence of certain numerical schemes (Johnston, Liu 04). Our first result shows that if the initial divergence of the fluid velocity is mean zero, then the Oseen vortex is globally asymptotically stable. This is the same as the Gallay Wayne 05 result for the standard Navier-Stokes equations. When the initial divergence is not mean zero, we show that the analogue of the Oseen vortex exists and is stable under small perturbations. For completeness, we also prove global well-posedness of the system we study.
A hyperbolic relaxation of the classical Navier-Stokes problem in 2D bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions is considered. It is proved that this relaxed problem possesses a global strong solution if the relaxation parameter is small and the appropriate norm of the initial data is not very large. Moreover, the dissipativity of such solutions is established and the singular limit as the relaxation parameter tends to zero is studied
Using the Maslowski and Seidler method, the existence of invariant measure for 2-dimensional stochastic Cahn-Hilliard-Navier-Stokes equations with multiplicative noise is proved in state space $L_x^2times H^1$, working with the weak topology. Also, the existence of global pathwise solution is investigated using the stochastic compactness argument.
