Anomalous Dissipation for the d-dimensional Navier-Stokes Equations

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the vanishing viscosity limit for the d-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations in the whole space: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \partial_tu^\varepsilon+u^\varepsilon\cdot \nabla u^\varepsilon-\varepsilonΔu^\varepsilon+\nabla p^\varepsilon=0,\\ \mathrm{div}\ u^\varepsilon=0. \end{cases} \end{equation*} We aim to presenting a simple rigorous examples of initial data which generates the corresponding solutions of the Navier--Stokes equations do exhibit anomalous dissipation. Precisely speaking, we show that there are (classical) solutions for which the dissipation rate of the kinetic energy is bounded away from zero.
