Determination of the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations by a set of nodal values.
(English)
[J] Math. Comput. 43, 117-133 (1984). ISSN 0025-5718; ISSN 1088-6842/e

The authors give several very interesting results on the determination of the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations of incompressible viscous fluids by their values on a finite set. For instance, two stationary solutions in a bounded domain $\Omega$ of ${\bbfR}\sp n$, $n=2,3$ coincide if they coincide on a finite set sufficiently dense. \par In the 2-dimensional case, let f,g be two body forces such that f(t)- g(t)$\to 0$ in $L\sp 2$, as $t\to +\infty$. Then if the corresponding strong solutions u and v are such that $u(x\sb j,t)-v(x\sb j,t)\to 0$ in $L\sp 2$ as $t\to \infty$, for every $x\sb j$ of a finite set, sufficiently dense, then u($\cdot,t)-v(\cdot,t)\to 0$ in C(${\bar \Omega}$). \par A similar statement holds for time-periodic solutions. The large time behaviour of the solution is therefore determined by its large time behaviour on a suitable discrete set.
