Phd topic

During my Phd, I have studied the influence of a thin obstacle on the behavior of incompressible flow, when the obstacle tends to a curve or a surface. The small obstacle limit is an instance of the general problem of PDE on singularly perturbed domains. There is a large literature on such problems, specially in the elliptic case. Asymptotic behavior of fluid flow on singularly perturbed domains is a natural subject for analytical investigation which is virtually unexplored.
The first works were made in 2003 and 2006 by Iftimie, Lopes Filho and Nussenzveig Lopes concerning two dimensional incompressible ideal flow (governed by the Euler equations) and viscous flow (governed by the Navier-Stokes equations) when the obstacle shrink homothetically to a point. Iftimie and Kelliher worked in 2008 on the three dimensional incompressible viscous flow around an obstacle which shrink to a point.
My thesis brings together all my works concerning incompressible ideal and viscous flow around a curve (in 2D) and around a surface (in 3D). We finish by giving uniqueness of the vortex-wave system with a single point vortex introduced by Marchioro and Pulvirenti, in the case where the initial vorticity is constant near the point vortex (Phd thesis).

HDR topic

We bring together in this thesis the results obtained by the author and his collaborators. We give here the main ideas of the analysis developed for their proofs.
Our concern in the first part is the convergence of solutions to the two-dimensional Euler equations when we perturb the domain geometry. Depending on the perturbation, we will get the stability or a limit verifying a modified system. We will discuss in the second part about the uniqueness issue for these perturbed systems.
We will also study the stability of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. First, we will mention the case of small obstacles. Next, we will focus on the long time behavior for the solutions. These two questions are in fact related through the scaling property of the equations governing viscous fluids. (HDR thesis).
