Concerning the nonstationary Navier-Stokes flow with a nonzero constant velocity at infinity, the temporal stability has been studied by Heywood (1970, 1972) and Masuda (1975) inL2space and by Shibata (1999) and Enomoto-Shibata (2005) inLpspaces forp≥3. However, their results did not include enough information to find the spatial decay. So, Bae-Roh (2010) improved Enomoto-Shibata's results in some sense and estimated the spatial decay even though their results are limited. In this paper, we will prove temporal decay with a weighted function by usingLr-Lpdecay estimates obtained by Roh (2011). Bae-Roh (2010) proved the temporal rate becomes slower by(1+σ)/2if a weighted function is|x|σfor0<σ<1/2. In this paper, we prove that the temporal decay becomes slower byσ,where0<σ<3/2if a weighted function is|x|σ. For the proof, we deduce an integral representation of the solution and then establish the temporal decay estimates of weightedLp-norm of solutions. This method was first initiated by He and Xin (2000) and developed by Bae and Jin (2006, 2007, 2008).

We obtain spatial and temporal decay rates of weak solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations, and for strong solutions. For the spatial decay rate of the weak solutions, the power of the weight given by He and Xin in 2001 does not exceed 3/2;. However, we show the power can be extended up to 5/2;.

We examine various perturbations of Jeffery-Hamel flows, the exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations governing the steady two-dimensional motions of an incompressible viscous fluid from a line source at the intersection of two rigid plane walls. First a pitchfork bifurcation of the Jeffery-Hamel flows themselves is described by perturbation theory. This description is then used as a basis to investigate the spatial development of arbitrary small steady two-dimensional perturbations of a Jeffery-Hamel flow; both linear and weakly nonlinear perturbations are treated for plane and nearly plane walls. It is found that there is strong interaction of the disturbances up- and downstream if the angle between the planes exceeds a critical value 2α2, which depends on the value of the Reynolds number. Finally, the problem of linear temporal stability of Jeffery-Hamel flows is broached and again the importance of specifying conditions up- and downstream is revealed. All these results are used to interpret the development of flow along a channel with walls of small curvature. Fraenkel's (1962) approximation of channel flow locally by Jeffery-Hamel flows is supported with the added proviso that the angle between the two walls at each station is less than 2α2.

In this paper, we study the asymptotic decay properties in both spatial and temporal variables for a class of weak and strong solutions, by constructing the weak and strong solutions in corresponding weighted spaces. It is shown that, for the strong solution, the rate of temporal decay depends on the rate of spatial decay of the initial data. Such rates of decay are optimal.

This paper is concerned with the large time behavior of the weak solutions for three-dimensional globally modified Navier-Stokes equations. With the aid of energy methods and auxiliary decay estimates together withLp-Lqestimates of heat semigroup, we derive the optimal upper and lower decay estimates of the weak solutions for the globally modified Navier-Stokes equations asC1(1+t)-3/4≤uL2≤C2(1+t)-3/4,  t>1.The decay rate is optimal since it coincides with that of heat equation.
