Bore wave solutions to Navier-Stokes

By Ian Tice

In this talk we will discuss the construction of two-dimensional traveling bore wave solutions to the free boundary incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for a single finite depth layer of constant density fluid. Our construction is based on a rigorous justification of the formal shallow water limit, which postulates that in a certain scaling regime the full free boundary traveling Navier-Stokes system of PDEs reduces to a governing system of ODEs. We find heteroclinic orbits solving these ODEs and, through a delicate fixed point argument employing the Stokes problem in thin domains and a nonautonomous orbital perturbation theory, use these ODE solutions as the germs from which we build bore PDE solutions for sufficiently shallow layers. This is joint work with Noah Stevenson.
