Fluid mechanics has always been the source of challenging mathematical problems. This workshop is dedicated to the subject of Fluid Dynamics and PDE, focusing on modeling and rigorous analysis of physically relevant problems in fluid dynamics, particularly highly irregular incompressible flows. The research in this field touches upon many different problems with relevant applications, such as problems in aerodynamics, oceanographic flows and geophysical flows. It is a field which has generated intense international research activity over the last decades.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together recognized experts and young researchers working in this field and to foster scientific interaction among the participants. The mini-course of Prof. Cordoba and the invited talks will reflect the variety of mathematical tools and problems arising in the study of the dynamical aspects of fluids. This meeting will take place at the University of Lyon 1, Institut Camille Jordan (the Mathematics department) in the Braconnier building. Lyon forms the second-largest metropolitan area in France after that of Paris, with a population of 1,3 million inhabitants. It has a reputation as the French capital of gastronomy. The University of Lyon 1 represents one of the main higher education institutions in the country, both in terms of student population and scientific productivity. Organizing Committee
Minicourse: Diego Córdoba (Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas, Madrid): Interface dynamics for incompressible flows in 2D: SQG, Muskat and Water Waves Abstract: The evolution of an interface between two immiscible incompressible fluids can develop singularities in finite time. In particular those contour dynamics that are given by basic fluid mechanics systems; Euler´s equation, Darcy´s law and the Quasi-geostrophic equation. These give rise to problems such as water wave, Muskat, and the evolution of sharp fronts of temperature. We will present the main ideas and arguments of the corresponding singularities for these models. Main Lectures: Christophe Cheverry (Université de Rennes 1): Long time gyrokinetic equations. Application to whistler waves Abstract: In this talk, I will present two results. The first provides a new approach allowing to extend in longer times the classical insights on fast rotating fluids. This will be applied to show that a plasma can be confined by a magnetic field. The second is based on a study of oscillatory integrals implying special phases. This will be applied to give a better understanding of whistler-mode chorus emissions in space plasmas. The framework will be relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell equations, with a penalized skew-symmetric term where the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field plays an essential part. Gianluca Crippa (Universität Basel): Mixing and loss of regularity for two-dimensional flows Abstract: Consider a passive scalar which is advected by a smooth incompressible two-dimensional velocity field. The following question is of interest: Starting from a given initial distribution of the passive scalar, and given a certain energy budget, power budget, or palenstrophy budget, what velocity field best mixes the passive scalar? While it is easy to see that under energy bounds perfect mixing can be accomplished in finite time, it has been recently proven that under power bounds the mixing rate is at most exponential in time. In the talk I will present a construction from a work in progress with Giovanni Alberti (Pisa) and Anna Mazzucato (Penn State), illustrating the optimality of the exponential bound on the mixing rate under power bounds. The velocity field can in fact be required to satisfy $W^{1,p}$ bounds uniformly in time, for any value of $1 \leq p \leq \infty$: the Lipschitz case is also included. As a consequence, we deduce the existence of velocity fields in $W^{k,q}$ (where $k$ and $q$ are real numbers, so that such Sobolev space is not embedded in the Lipschitz space) such that any fractional regularity of the initial datum is instantaneously destroyed. Isabelle Gallagher (Université Paris 7): Blow up of critical norms for the Navier-Stokes equations Abstract: In this lecture we shall present some recent results on the behavior of the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations near the (possible) blow-up time. In particular we shall be interested in the blow-up of scale invariant norms. David Gérard-Varet (Université Paris 7): The Taylor model in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) Abstract: We shall discuss a model introduced by J.B. Taylor in 1963, that comes from a formal asymptotic limit of MHD equations with rotation. This asymptotic model, relevant to the Earth's dynamo problem, should in principle allow for easier numerics. However, its simulation has been unsuccessful so far, due to unclear stability properties. The aim of the talk is to present recent mathematical results on this stability issue (joint work with E. Dormy, I. Gallagher, L. Saint-Raymond). Taoufik Hmidi (Université de Rennes 1): On the doubly connected V-states for Euler equations Abstract: We shall discuss some results on the V-states for the planar Euler equations. They are special patches rotating uniformly around their centers of mass . In the first part, we review some classical results on the simply connected case. What is known is that close to Rankine vortices the V-states are described by a countable family of bifurcating one-dimensional curves. We shall discuss in the second part of the talk how to extend this result to the V-states with only one hole. Christophe Lacave (Université Paris 7): The Vortex Method in the Exterior of a Disk Abstract: The vortex method is a common numerical and theoretical approach used to implement the motion of an ideal flow, in which the vorticity is approximated by a sum of point vortices, so that the Euler equations read as a system of ordinary differential equations. Such a method is well justified in the full plane, thanks to the explicit representation formulas of Biot and Savart. In an exterior domain, we also replace the impermeable boundary by a collection of point vortices generating the circulation around the obstacle. The density of these point vortices is chosen in order that the flow remains tangent at midpoints between adjacent vortices. In this presentation, we provide a rigorous justification for this method in exterior domains. One of the main mathematical difficulties being that the Biot-Savart kernel defines a singular integral operator when restricted to a curve. For simplicity and clarity, we only treat the case of the unit disk in the plane approximated by a uniformly distributed mesh of point vortices. This work is in collaboration with D. Arsénio (Paris Diderot) and E. Dormy (ENS-Paris). Milton Lopes Filho (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro): The limit of small viscosity and small elastic response for the second-grade fluid equations Abstract: In this talk we consider the second-grade fluid system with viscosity $\nu$ and elastic response parameter $\alpha$ in a two-dimensional, smooth bounded domain with smooth initial data and no-slip boundary conditions. For a suitably defined converging family of initial data we consider a corresponding Family of solutions to this system, depending on these parameters. We examine the limits of vanishing $\alpha$ and $\nu$ obtaining, for certain regimes, convergence to solutions of the incompressible Euler equations, while in other regimes we obtain sharp criteria for convergence, analogous to Kato's criterion. This talk is based in joint work with H. Nussenzveig Lopes, E. Titi and A. Zang. Carlo Marchioro (Università di Roma "La Sapienza"): On the Vlasov-Poisson fluid with unbounded mass Abstract: We consider a one-species plasma moving in an infinite cylinder, in which it is confined by means of a magnetic field diverging on the walls of the cylinder. It is assumed that initially the particles have bounded velocities and are distributed according to a density which is bounded, without any decreasing at infinity. Hence the total mass cound be infinite. The mutual interaction is of Yukawa type, i.e. Coulomb at short distance and exponentially decreasing at infinity. We prove the global in time existence and uniqueness of the time evolution of the plasma and its confinement. We discuss also the case of a plasma mouving in the whole space. Takayoshi Ogawa (Tohoku University): Threshold for the large time behavior of weak solutions to degenerate drift-diffusion system in between two critical exponents Abstract: We consider a degenerate drift-diffusion system which can be derived from the damped compressible Euler or Navier-Stokes-Poisson system. Observing that there are two important critical exponents related with adiabatic constant, we introduce the threshold of initial mass for the large time behavior of weak solutions. We show that the threshold separating the global existence of the solution and finite time blow-up of solutions is given by the best possible constant of the modified Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality. Marius Paicu (Université Bordeaux 1): Global well-posedness for inhomogeneous fluids Abstract: In this talk I will present some results about the global well-posedness of inhomogeneous fluids with bounded density and some large initial data. In the two-dimensional space we obtain the global solution for rough density and general velocity. In the three dimensional space we obtain the global well-posedness for a small inhomogeneity and an initial data verifying a nonlinear smallness condition. These results are in collaboration with J. Huang, P. Zhang and Z. Zhang. Geneviève Raugel (Université Paris-Sud): The "hyperbolic perturbed" Navier-Stokes equations revisited Abstract: In this talk, we consider the hyperbolic Navier-Stokes equations in the whole plane. We improve the known existence results of solutions. We show that these hyperbolic equations are a regular perturbation of the Navier-Stokes equations, which has interesting consequences in the qualitative study of the dynamics (partly joint work with M. Paicu). José L. Rodrigo (University of Warwick): On non-resistive MHD systems connected to magnetic relaxation. Abstract: In this talk I will present several results connected with the idea of magnetic relaxation for MHD, including some new commutator estimates (and a counterexample to the estimate in the critical case). This is joint work with various subsets of D. McCormick, J. Robinson, C. Fefferman and J-Y. Chemin. Miguel Rodrigues (Université Lyon 1): Asymptotic stability and modulation behavior near periodic waves of parabolic and Hamiltonian systems Abstract: Recently, mostly motivated by applications to surface waves, rapid progresses on the stability theory for periodic traveling waves have been obtained. We will review the essentially complete theory available for parabolic systems, that applies to the shallow water description of viscous roll-waves, and shall discuss properties of the linearized evolution about cnoidal waves of the Korteweg--de Vries equation, that in particular model long water waves in the small amplitude regime. Frédéric Rousset (Université Paris-Sud): Landau damping in Sobolev spaces for a simple model Abstract: We shall study the dynamics in the vicinity of spatially homogeneous equilibria of a simple model of interacting particles, the Vlasov-HMF model. Joint work with E. Faou (Rennes). Franck Sueur (Université Paris 6): Dynamics of a point vortex as limit of a shrinking solid in a 2d perfect incompressible fluid Abstract: In this talk I will present some recent works with Olivier Glass, Christophe Lacave and Alexandre Munnier where we recover the dynamics of a vortex point as the limit of the motion of a rigid body immersed in a two-dimensional perfect incompressible fluid when the size of the body vanishes and its mass as well. Contributed talks: Anna Bohun (Universität Basel): Lagrangian solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson equation with L1 density Abstract: In this talk I will review some quantitative stability estimates for Lagrangian flows related to vector fields whose gradient is given by the singular integral of an L1 function, and discuss how this method is used to prove existence of Lagrangian solutions of the Vlasov Poisson equation with density in L1. This is a joint work with Gianluca Crippa (Basel) and Francois Bouchut (CNRS). Hugo Decaster (Université Lyon 1): Asymptotic behavior of solutions to the stationary Navier-Stokes equations Abstract: In this talk, I will address the problem of determining the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the incompressible stationary Navier-Stokes system in Rn, in dimensions 2 and 3. In dimension 3, if the forcing term behaves at infinity as a field homogeneous of degree -3, we show that the solution behaves at infinity as a homogeneous of degree -1 velocity field which solves the Navier-Stokes equations with an additional Dirac mass in the forcing. This applies in particular to the case of an exterior domain or a rapidly decaying forcing term with non zero integral. In dimension 2, under some assumptions of symmetry for the forcing term, we show that the asymptotic behavior of the solution at infinity is homogeneous of degree -4 with an explicit formula. Omar Lazar (Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas, Madrid): Global existence results for a 1D transport equation with nonlocal velocity Abstract: In this talk, we shall study a one dimensional equation introduced by Córdoba, Córdoba and Fontelos. This 1D transport equation can be viewed as a toy model for the 2D SQG equation. It also has some similarities with the Birkhoff-Rott equation modeling the evolution of a vortex sheet. We will establish some global existence results for this model when the data belong to some weighted spaces. This talk is based on a joint work with Pierre-Gilles Lemarié-Rieusset. Eleonora Pinto de Moura (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro): The vortex-wave system with a finite number of vortices as the limit of the Euler-alpha model Abstract: In this talk I will discuss solutions of the two-dimensional Euler-alpha model when the initial vorticity is the superposition of a finite number of point vortices and a bounded background vorticity. Finally I will show that these solutions converge, as alpha tends to zero, to a weak solution of the vortex-wave system, introduced by Marchioro and Pulvirenti (1991). This is a joint work with Helena J. Nussenzveig Lopes (UFRJ) and Milton C. Lopes Filho (UFRJ). Eugénie Poulon (Université Paris 6): Profile Decomposition and some applications to Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equation in R3 Abstract: I will present profile theory of P. Gérard and some applications to the Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations in the whole space R3. More precisely, I will explain how such a theory has played a key role in the proof of existence of critical elements (or minimal blow up solutions) in the case of data belonging to invariant spaces (under the natural scaling of the Navier-Stokes equations) and non-invariant spaces.
