Global exponential stability for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations on hyperbolic space
Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein
We prove that the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the deformation Laplacian on hyperbolic 3-space $\HH^3$ admit a unique global mild solution for suff…
Boundary conditions select the viscous operator on Riemannian hypersurfaces: formal analysis and rigorous thin-shell limits
Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein
A viscous fluid confined to a thin layer around a curved surface is governed, as the layer thickness vanishes, by an effective viscous operator on the surface. We show that the wal…
Resolving the viscosity operator ambiguity on Riemannian manifolds via a kinematic selection principle
Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein
On a general Riemannian manifold the Navier-Stokes equations admit several inequivalent formulations, differing in the choice of viscous operator: the Hodge Laplacian, the Bochner…
Logarithmic Sobolev inequality and hypercontractivity for the Navier-Stokes Fokker-Planck operator
Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein
The stochastic incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on $\TT^3$, completed by the fluctuation-dissipation noise, have a Fokker-Planck generator that decomposes into a self-adjoint…
Exponential thermalisation of viscous fluids on negatively curved manifolds
Samuel L. Braunstein, Zhi-Wei Wang
The deterministic incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are physically incomplete: any viscous fluid at finite temperature must exhibit thermal fluctuations whose form is dictated…
