Stopping a viscous fluid by a feedback dissipative field. II: The stationary Navier-Stokes problem (Q2504955)

The stationary 2D flow is studied in a semi-infinite strip \(\Omega=\{(x,y):\;x\in(0,\infty),\;y\in(0,L)\}\) \[ \begin{aligned} &-\nu\Delta v+(v\cdot\nabla)v+\nabla p=f(x,y,v),\quad \text{div \;}v=0\quad \text{in \;} \Omega,\\ &v(0,y)=v_0(y), \quad y\in(0,L)\\ &v(x,0)=v(x,L)=0,\quad x\in(0,\infty)\\ &|v(x,y)|\rightarrow0\;\text{as \;} x\rightarrow\infty,\;y\in(0,L). \end{aligned}\tag{1} \] Here \(v\) is the velocity vector field, \(p\) is the pressure, \(f(x,y,v)\) is a feedback body forces field. The authors prove that the fluid can be stopped at a finite distance of the strip entrance \(\{x=0,\;y\in(0,L)\}\) if the function \(f(x,y,v)\) depends in a certain sublinear way on the velocity \(v\). The proof is based on reducing the system (1) to a fourth order nonlinear problem. Part I, cf. J. Math. Fluid Mech. 6, No. 4, 439--461 (2004; Zbl 1075.35029).
