Asymptotic stability of homogeneous solutions of incompressible stationary Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract

It was proved by Karch and Pilarczyk that Landau solutions are asymptotically stable under any L 2 -perturbation. In our earlier work with L. Li, we have classified all ( − 1 ) -homogeneous axisymmetric no-swirl solutions of incompressible stationary Navier-Stokes equations in three dimension which are smooth on the unit sphere minus the south and north poles. In this paper, we study the asymptotic stability of the least singular solutions among these solutions other than Landau solutions, and prove that such solutions are asymptotically stable under any L 2 -perturbation.
