Abstract:
In this article, we modified the Navier-Stokes equations by
adding a higher order artificial viscosity term to the conventional
system. We first show that the solution of the regularized system
converges strongly to the solution of the conventional system as
the regularization parameter approaches zero, for each dimension
.
Then we show that the use of this artificial viscosity
term leads to truncated the number of degrees of freedom in the
long-time behavior of the solutions to these equations.
This result suggests that the hyperviscous Navier-Stokes system
is an interesting model for three-dimensional fluid turbulence.
