An Eulerian–Lagrangian Approach¶to the Navier–Stokes Equations
Abstract: We present a formulation of the incompressible viscous Navier–Stokes equation based on a generalization of the inviscid Weber formula, in terms of a diffusive “back-to-labels” map and a…

We present results concerning the local existence, regularity and possible blow up of solutions to incompressible Euler and Navier-Stokes equations.
A Variational Formulation for the Navier-Stokes Equation
In this paper we prove a new variational principle for the Navier-Stokes equation which asserts that its solutions are critical points of a stochastic control problem in the group of area-preserving…

We consider the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with spatially periodic boundary conditions. If the Reynolds number is small enough we provide an elementary short proof of the existence of…
On the blow-up problem for the Euler equations andthe Liouville type results in the fluid equations
In this paper we briefly review recent results mostly by the author related to the blow-up problem of the 3D Euler equations and the Liouville type results in the various equations of the fluids.
