In this paper, we study the decay rates for the global small smooth solutions to 3D anisotropic incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. In particular, we prove that the horizontal components of the velocity field decay like the solutions of 2D classical Navier-Stokes equations. While the third component of the velocity field decays as the solutions of 3D Navier-Stokes equations. We remark that such enhanced decay rate for the third component is caused by the interplay between the divergence free condition of the velocity field and the horizontal Laplacian in the anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations.
We consider solutions to the 2d Navier-Stokes equations on $mathbb{T}timesmathbb{R}$ close to the Poiseuille flow, with small viscosity $ u>0$. Our first result concerns a semigroup estimate for the linearized problem. Here we show that the $x$-dependent modes of linear solutions decay on a time-scale proportional to $ u^{-1/2}|log u|$. This effect is often referred to as emph{enhanced dissipation} or emph{metastability} since it gives a much faster decay than the regular dissipative time-scale $ u^{-1}$ (this is also the time-scale on which the $x$-independent mode naturally decays). We achieve this using an adaptation of the method of hypocoercivity. Our second result concerns the full nonlinear equations. We show that when the perturbation from the Poiseuille flow is initially of size at most $ u^{3/4+}$, then it remains so for all time. Moreover, the enhanced dissipation also persists in this scenario, so that the $x$-dependent modes of the solution are dissipated on a time scale of order $ u^{-1/2}|log u|$. This transition threshold is established by a bootstrap argument using the semigroup estimate and a careful analysis of the nonlinear term in order to deal with the unboundedness of the domain and the Poiseuille flow itself.
In this article, we establish sufficient conditions for the regularity of solutions of Navier-Stokes equations based on one of the nine entries of the gradient tensor. We improve the recently results of C.S. Cao, E.S. Titi (Arch. Rational Mech.Anal. 202 (2011) 919-932) and Y. Zhou, M. Pokorn$acute{y}$ (Nonlinearity 23, 1097-1107 (2010)).
In this paper, we provide rigorous justification of the hydrostatic approximation and the derivation of primitive equations as the small aspect ratio limit of the incompressible three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the anisotropic horizontal viscosity regime. Setting $varepsilon >0$ to be the small aspect ratio of the vertical to the horizontal scales of the domain, we investigate the case when the horizontal and vertical viscosities in the incompressible three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are of orders $O(1)$ and $O(varepsilon^alpha)$, respectively, with $alpha>2$, for which the limiting system is the primitive equations with only horizontal viscosity as $varepsilon$ tends to zero. In particular we show that for well prepared initial data the solutions of the scaled incompressible three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations converge strongly, in any finite interval of time, to the corresponding solutions of the anisotropic primitive equations with only horizontal viscosities, as $varepsilon$ tends to zero, and that the convergence rate is of order $Oleft(varepsilon^fracbeta2right)$, where $beta=min{alpha-2,2}$. Note that this result is different from the case $alpha=2$ studied in [Li, J.; Titi, E.S.: emph{The primitive equations as the small aspect ratio limit of the Navier-Stokes equations: Rigorous justification of the hydrostatic approximation}, J. Math. Pures Appl., textbf{124} rm(2019), 30--58], where the limiting system is the primitive equations with full viscosities and the convergence is globally in time and its rate of order $Oleft(varepsilonright)$.
Several types of new regularity criteria for Leray-Hopf weak solutions $u$ to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations are obtained. Some of them are based on the third component $u_3$ of velocity under Prodi-Serrin index condition, another type is in terms of $omega_3$ and $partial_3u_3$ with Prodi-Serrin index condition. And a very recent work of the authors, based on only one of the nine entries of the gradient tensor, is renovated.
We establish several boundary $varepsilon$-regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions for the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half cylinder with the Dirichlet boundary condition on the flat boundary. Our proofs are based on delicate iteration arguments and interpolation techniques. These results extend and provide alternative proofs for the earlier interior results by Vasseur [18], Choi-Vasseur [2], and Phuc-Guevara [6].
