AbstractFor a bounded domain $$\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^n$$ Ω ⊂ R n with smooth boundary, we explicitly calculate the first two coefficients of the asymptotic expansion for the integral of the trace of the Stokes semigroup $$e^{-t S}$$ e - t S as $$t\rightarrow 0^+$$ t → 0 + . These coefficients (i.e., spectral invariants) provide precise information for the volume of the domain $$\Omega $$ Ω and the surface area of the boundary $$\partial \Omega $$ ∂ Ω by the spectrum of the Stokes problem. As an application, we show that an n-dimensional ball is uniquely determined by its Stokes spectrum among all Euclidean bounded domains with smooth boundary.

Natural convection in horizontally heated spherical fluid-filled cavities is considered in the low Grashof number limit. The equations governing the asymptotic expansion are derived for all orders. At each order a Stokes problem must be solved for the momentum correction. The general solution of the Stokes problem in a sphere with arbitrary smooth body force is derived and used to obtain the zeroth-order (creeping) flow and the first-order corrections due to inertia and buoyancy. The solutions illustrate the two mechanisms adduced by Mallinson & de Vahl Davis (1973, 1977) for spanwise flow in horizontally heated cuboids. Further, the analytical derivations and expressions clarify these mechanisms and the conditions under which they do not operate. The inertia and buoyancy effects vanish with the Grashof and Rayleigh numbers, respectively, and both vanish if the flow is purely vertical, as in a very tall and narrow cuboid.

We prove some existence, uniqueness and regularity results for the solutions to the Stokes problem in ℝn, n≥2 in weighted Sobolev spaces [Formula: see text]. This framework enables us to characterise for which data the problem has solutions with prescribed decay or growth at infinity. Moreover, we obtain an explicit representation as well as an asymptotic expansion of the solution for non-smooth decaying data. We also establish the density of smooth solenoidal vector fields in the subspace of [Formula: see text] such that div v=0.

AbstractWe prove bilinear estimates for the Schrödinger equation on 3D domains, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. On non-trapping domains, they match the ${ \mathbb{R} }^{3} $ case, while on bounded domains they match the generic boundaryless manifold case. We obtain, as an application, global well-posedness for the defocusing cubic NLS for data in ${ H}_{0}^{s} (\Omega )$, $1\lt s\leq 3$, with $\Omega $ any bounded domain with smooth boundary.

International audience This paper is concerned with a topological asymptotic expansion for a parabolic operator. We consider the three dimensional non-stationary Stokes system as a model problem and we derive a sensitivity analysis with respect to the creation of a small Dirich-let geometric perturbation. The established asymptotic expansion valid for a large class of shape functions. The proposed analysis is based on a preliminary estimate describing the velocity field perturbation caused by the presence of a small obstacle in the fluid flow domain. The obtained theoretical results are used to built a fast and accurate detection algorithm. Some numerical examples issued from a lake oxygenation problem show the efficiency of the proposed approach. Ce papier porte sur l'analyse de sensibilité topologique pour un opérateur parabolique. On considère le problème de Stokes instationnaire comme un exemple de modèle et on donne une étude de sensibilité décrivant le comportement asymptotique de l'opérateur relativement à une petite perturbation géométrique du domaine. L'analyse présentée est basée sur une estimation du champ de vitesse calculée dans le domaine perturbé. Les résultats de cette étude ont servi de base pour développer un algorithme d'identification géométrique. Pour la validation de notre approche, on donne une étude numérique pour un problème d'optimisation d'emplacement des injecteurs dans un lac eutrophe. Des exemples numériques montrent l'efficacité de la méthode proposée

The mathematical analysis of the incompressible Stokes and Navier–Stokes equations in a possibly unbounded domain Ω of Rd (d = 2 or 3) is the purpose of this chapter. Notice that no regularity assumptions will be required on the domain Ω. Because of the compactness result stated in Theorem 1.3, page 27, the case of bounded domains will be different (in fact slightly simpler) than the case of general domains. The study of the spectral properties of the Stokes operator previously defined relies on the study of its inverse, which is in fact much easier. We shall restrict ourselves here to the case of the homogeneous Stokes operator which is adapted to the case of a bounded domain.

Abstract We prove in this paper some results on the complex and fractional powers of the Stokes operator with slip frictionless boundary conditions involving the stress tensor. This is fundamental and plays an important role in the associated parabolic problem and will be used to prove maximal L^{p} - L^{q} regularity results for the non-homogeneous Stokes problem.
