Abstract: The second-grade fluid equations are a model for viscoelastic fluids, with two parameters: alpha>0, corresponding to the elastic response, and u>0, corresponding to viscosity. Formally setting these parameters to 0 reduces the equations to the incompressible Euler equations of ideal fluid flow. In this article we study the limits alpha,uo0 of solutions of the second-grade fluid system, in a smooth, bounded, two-dimensional domain with no-slip boundary conditions. This class of problems interpolates between the Euler-alpha model (u=0), for which the authors recently proved convergence to the solution of the incompressible Euler equations, and the Navier-Stokes case (alpha=0), for which the vanishing viscosity limit is an important open problem. We prove three results. First, we establish convergence of the solutions of the second-grade model to those of the Euler equations provided u=mathcalO(alpha2), as alphao0, extending the main result in [19]. Second, we prove equivalence between convergence (of the second-grade fluid equations to the Euler equations) and vanishing of the energy dissipation in a suitably thin region near the boundary, in the asymptotic regime u=mathcalO(alpha6/5), u/alpha2oinfty as alphao0. This amounts to a convergence criterion similar to the well-known Kato criterion for the vanishing viscosity limit of the Navier-Stokes equations to the Euler equations. Finally, we obtain an extension of Kato's classical criterion to the second-grade fluid model, valid if alpha=mathcalO(u3/2), as uo0. The proof of all these results relies on energy estimates and boundary correctors, following the original idea by Kato.
