Inviscid-limit convergence conjecture for steady Navier–Stokes flows
Inviscid-limit convergence conjecture for steady Navier–Stokes flows
Let be any simply connected domain such that the constant-vorticity Euler solution on has a single eddy, meaning that its streamfunction has a single non-degenerate critical point. Suppose that Navier–Stokes is forced by a slip of the form specified in the paper, for example
for some smooth function . Then there exists such that, for all , there is weak convergence in along a sequence of steady Navier–Stokes solutions. Inviscid-limit convergence conjecture.
Here is the constant selected by the paper's boundary-layer theorem. This conjecture proposes that the nonlinearly selected constant vorticity determines the leading-order inviscid limit for general simply connected domains, extending the result known in the disk case; the statement remains unresolved in the supplied source.
