Abstract We consider the motion of an incompressible viscous fluid that completely covers a smooth, compact and embedded hypersurface $$\Sigma $$ Σ without boundary and flows along $$\Sigma $$ Σ . Local-in-time well-posedness is established in the framework of $$L_p$$ L p -$$L_q$$ L q -maximal regularity. We characterize the set of equilibria as the set of all Killing vector fields on $$\Sigma $$ Σ , and we show that each equilibrium on $$\Sigma $$ Σ is stable. Moreover, it is shown that any solution starting close to an equilibrium exists globally and converges at an exponential rate to a (possibly different) equilibrium as time tends to infinity.

For interface-tracking simulation of two-phase flows in various micro-fluidics devices, we examined the applicability of two versions of computational fluid dynamics method, NS-PFM, combining Navier-Stokes equations with phase-field modeling for interface based on the van der Waals-Cahn-Hilliard free-energy theory. Through the numerical simulations, the following major findings were obtained: (1) The first version of NS-PFM gives good predictions of interfacial shapes and motions in an incompressible, isothermal two-phase fluid with high density ratio on solid surface with heterogeneous wettability. (2) The second version successfully captures liquid-vapor motions with heat and mass transfer across interfaces in phase change of a non-ideal fluid around the critical point.

In this chapter we intend to investigate the stability of the Leray solutions constructed in the previous chapter. It is useful to start by analyzing the linearized version of the Navier–Stokes equations, so the first section of the chapter is devoted to the proof of the well-posedness of the time-dependent Stokes system. The study will be applied in Section 3.2 to the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations, and the more delicate case of three space dimensions will be dealt with in Sections 3.3–3.5.
