S4B2 - Graduate Seminar in Analysis and PDEs - Topics in Incompressible Fluid Dynamics
Winter term 2024/2025
Organisational details
- Time: Thursday. Place: Endenicher Allee 60 - SemR 0.007
- Second preliminary meeting: Thursday 10.10.2024, 16:00 (in the normal room). We will give a summary presentation of the topic and the articles, and proceed to the distribution of topics. (there still are many open slots!) If you cannot attend, please contact the organizer to get an appointment.
- If there are any questions, please get in touch with the organiser. If you are a participating Masters student, please register on Basis.
Overview
This seminar series are centered on the study of the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, and the properties of their solutions. We will first start by covering the classical question of existence and uniqueness of solutions for a given initial datum. This will involve getting familiar with important tools from harmonic analysis. However, the analysis of these PDEs goes much deeper than the (already fascinating) existence/uniqueness problems: we will also examine some important properties of the solutions. For example, we will study the asymptotic behavior of solutions at large space scales, mixing properties and the growth of higher order norms, point vortex dynamics, or the distribution of kinetic energy in the solutions. Other related models such as magnetohydrodynamics will also recieve some attention.
See here for more information, including a list of literature recommendations.
Prerequisites: basic knowledge of Fourier series and transform, functional analysis, Sobolev spaces and ODEs. No prior experience in physics is required.
