Numerical solution of the incompressible three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (original) (raw)
2009
It is not known whether the three-dimensional (3D) incompressible Navier-Stokes equations possess unique smooth (continuously differentiable) solutions at high Reynolds numbers. This problem is quite important for basic science, practical applications, and numerical computations. This review presents a selective survey of the current state of the mathematical theory, focusing on the technical source of difficulties encountered with the construction of smooth solutions.
We present a robust numerical framework for solving the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using the finite volume method. Our Python-based implementation employs explicit time integration, pressure correction via a Poisson solver, and advanced 3D visualization tools-including vortex identification and particle tracking. The simulations capture the formation, evolution, and dissipation of vortex structures, with a monotonic decay of kinetic energy consistent with the physics of viscous incompressible flows. While this work does not constitute a formal proof, our results provide new insights into the regularity and energy properties of solutions, directly addressing the Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Problem. All code and visualization tools are openly available to ensure full reproducibility and to foster further research on the existence and smoothness of Navier-Stokes solutions in three dimensions.While the numerical methods employed are well established, this work distinguishes itself by providing a fully open-source, Python-based 3D framework-complete with advanced visualization, detailed documentation, and explicit orientation towards the Millennium Problem. To our knowledge, no existing resource combines these features with such accessibility and pedagogical clarity.
Proteus Three-Dimensional Navier-Stokes Computer Code-Version 1.0, Volume 1Analysis Description
1993
A computer code called Proteus has been developed to solve the two-dimensional planar or axisymmetric, Reynolds-averaged, unsteady compressible Navier-Stokes equations in strong conservation law form. The objective in this effort has been to develop a code for aerospace propulsion applications that is easy to use and easy to modify. Code readability, modularity, and documentation have been emphasized.

In this and next papers following shortly, we prove the existence of smooth solution for navier stokes equations. In this paper the equations solutions are proposed. And show the solutions fulfill all the conditions. We left behind how the solution is derived to the next papers. External force components of the navier stokes equations are set to zero for simplicity.

The three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with the continuity equation are solved analytically in this work. The spatial and temporal coordinates are transformed into a single coordinate ξ . The solution is proposed to be in the form V = ∇Φ + ∇ × Φ where Φ is a potential function that is defined as Φ = P(x, ξ )R(ξ ). The potential function is firstly substituted into the continuity equation to produce the solution for R and the resultant expression is used sequentially in the Navier-Stokes equations to reduce the problem to the class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations in P terms. Here, more general solutions are also obtained based on the particular solutions of P. Explicit analytical solutions are found to be mathematically similar for the cases of zero and constant pressure gradient. Two examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the method. It is also concluded that the selection of variables for the potential function can be interchanged from the beginning, resulting in similar explicit solutions.
