The Navier-Stokes-Fourier model for a 3D thermoconducting viscous fluid, where the evolution equation for the temperature T contains a term proportional to the rate of energy dissipation, is investigated analitically at the light of the rotational invariance property. Two cases are considered: the Couette flow and a flow with a radial velocity between two rotating impermeable and porous coaxial cylinders, respectively. In both cases, we show the existence of a maximum value of T, T_max, when the difference of temperature Delta T=T_2-T_1 on the surfaces of the cylinders is assigned. The role of T_max is discussed in the context of different physical situations.

A physical model of a three-dimensional flow of a viscous bubbly fluid in an intermediate regime between bubble formation and breakage is presented. The model is based on mechanics and thermodynamics of a single bubble coupled to the dynamics of a viscous fluid as a whole, and takes into account multiple physical effects, including gravity, viscosity, and surface tension.

In this paper, we derive a viscous generalization of the Dysthe (1979) system from the weakly viscous generalization of the Euler equations introduced by Dias, Dyachenko, and Zakharov (2008). This viscous Dysthe system models the evolution of a weakly viscous, nearly monochromatic wave train on deep water. It contains a term which provides a mechanism for frequency downshifting in the absence of wind and wave breaking. The equation does not preserve the spectral mean. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the spectral mean typically decreases and that the spectral peak decreases for certain initial conditions. The linear stability analysis of the plane-wave solutions of the viscous Dysthe system demonstrates that waves with wave numbers closer to zero decay more slowly than waves with wave numbers further from zero. Comparisons between experimental data and numerical simulations of the NLS, dissipative NLS, Dysthe, and viscous Dysthe systems establish that the viscous Dysthe system accurately models data from experiments in which frequency downshifting was observed and experiments in which frequency downshift was not observed.
Truncated Taylor expansions of smooth flow maps are used in Hamiltons principle to derive a multiscale Lagrangian particle representation of ideal fluid dynamics. Numerical simulations for scattering of solutions at one level of truncation are found to produce solutions at higher levels. These scattering events to higher levels in the Taylor expansion are interpreted as modeling a cascade to smaller scales.
This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of the long-standing fluid mechanics problem involving the temporal resolution of a large, localised initial disturbance into a sequence of solitary waves. This problem is of fundamental importance in a range of applications including tsunami and internal ocean wave modelling. This study is performed in the context of the viscous fluid conduit system-the driven, cylindrical, free interface between two miscible Stokes fluids with high viscosity contrast. Due to buoyancy induced nonlinear self-steepening balanced by stress induced interfacial dispersion, the disturbance evolves into a slowly modulated wavetrain and further, into a sequence of solitary waves. An extension of Whitham modulation theory, termed the solitary wave resolution method, is used to resolve the fission of an initial disturbance into solitary waves. The developed theory predicts the relationship between the initial disturbances profile, the number of emergent solitary waves, and their amplitude distribution, quantifying an extension of the well-known soliton resolution conjecture from integrable systems to non-integrable systems that often provide a more accurate modelling of physical systems. The theoretical predictions for the fluid conduit system are confirmed both numerically and experimentally. The number of observed solitary waves is consistently within 1-2 waves of the prediction, and the amplitude distribution shows remarkable agreement. Universal properties of solitary wave fission in other fluid dynamics problems are identified.
We investigate the linear properties of the steady and axisymmetric stress-driven spin-down flow of a viscous fluid inside a spherical shell, both within the incompressible and anelastic approximations, and in the asymptotic limit of small viscosities. From boundary layer analysis, we derive an analytical geostrophic solution for the 3D incompressible steady flow, inside and outside the cylinder $mathcal{C}$ that is tangent to the inner shell. The Stewartson layer that lies on $mathcal{C}$ is composed of two nested shear layers of thickness $O(E^{2/7})$ and $O(E^{1/3})$. We derive the lowest order solution for the $E^{2/7}$-layer. A simple analysis of the $E^{1/3}$-layer laying along the tangent cylinder, reveals it to be the site of an upwelling flow of amplitude $O(E^{1/3})$. Despite its narrowness, this shear layer concentrates most of the global meridional kinetic energy of the spin-down flow. Furthermore, a stable stratification does not perturb the spin-down flow provided the Prandtl number is small enough. If this is not the case, the Stewartson layer disappears and meridional circulation is confined within the thermal layers. The scalings for the amplitude of the anelastic secondary flow have been found to be the same as for the incompressible flow in all three regions, at the lowest order. However, because the velocity no longer conforms the Taylor-Proudman theorem, its shape differs outside the tangent cylinder $mathcal{C}$, that is, where differential rotation takes place. Finally, we find the settling of the steady-state to be reached on a viscous time for the weakly, strongly and thermally unstratified incompressible flows. Large density variations relevant to astro- and geophysical systems, tend to slightly shorten the transient.
