Bifurcation of periodic solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in a thin domain (Q1974096)

The authors study the bifurcation of equations periodic (both in spatial and time variables) solutions of Navier-Stokes equations of viscous incompressible fluid in a thin three-dimensional domain \(\Omega \times (0,\varepsilon)\), \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2\) is a rectangle, \(\varepsilon\) is a small bifurcational parameter. Techniques of analytic semigroups and fractional powers of operators are applied.
