Abstract |
|
We consider the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a two-dimensional exterior domain , with no-slip boundary conditions. Our initial data are of the form , where is the Oseen vortex with unit circulation at infinity and is a solenoidal perturbation belonging to for some . If is sufficiently small, we show that the solution behaves asymptotically in time like the self-similar Oseen vortex with circulation . This is a global stability result, in the sense that the perturbation can be arbitrarily large, and our smallness assumption on the circulation is independent of the domain . |
