Abstract

Stagnation point in flows is an interesting phenomenon in fluid mechanics. It induces many challenging problems in analysis. We first derive a Liouville type theorem for Poiseuille flows in the class of incompressible steady inviscid flows in an infinitely long strip, where the flows can have stagnation points. With the aid of this Liouville type theorem, we show the uniqueness of solutions with positive horizontal velocity for steady Euler system in a general nozzle when the flows tend to the horizontal velocity of Poiseuille flows at the upstream. Finally, this kind of flows are proved to exist in a large class of nozzles and we also prove the optimal regularity of boundary for the set of stagnation points. This talk is based on joint work with Congming Li, Yingshu Lv, and Henrik Shahgholian.
