Stability for the 2D Micropolar equations near Couette flow via Green's function method
Abstract
In this paper, we use the Green's function method to study the stability of solutions to micropolar equations in the whole space. An essential difficulty in estimating the Green's function lies in treating a coupled system of equations with variable coefficients, which is completely different from previous Green's function analyses for scalar equations. We propose a dominant factor extraction method to overcome this difficulty. Based on sharp Green's function estimates for the micropolar system, we prove that if the initial data (m_0, ω_0) satisfy \|(m_0, ω_{0})\|_{L^1\cap L^{\infty}}\leq c_0μ^{3/4} for some small constant c_0 independent of the viscosity coefficient μ, then the corresponding solution remains of order O(μ^{3/4}) under the effect of the Couette flow. Meanwhile, we establish the optimal decay estimates of solutions in the general L^p norm. More importantly, the dominant factor extraction method developed in this work provides a general framework for the stability analysis of complex coupled fluid systems.
