Josh Brady, Department of Mathematics, Washington University in St. Louis Analysis of the Navier-Stokes-αβ equations Abstract: One of the outstanding problems in mathematics has been to prove (or disprove) well-posedness of the 3-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Because of these and other difficulties, many turbulence models have been proposed. In this talk we investigate such a model: the Navier-Stokes-αβ equations developed by Fried and Gurtin. We begin by presenting well-posedness results for the Navier-Stokes-αβ equations. Then we will discuss the ideas of determining nodes and modes, and the sufficient conditions for a set of nodes or modes to be determining. Finally we will relate these results to similar results that exist for the 2-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. |
