A Review of results on axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations, with addendum by X. Pan and Q. S. Zhang

Abstract

In this paper, we give a brief survey of recent results on axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations (ASNS) in the following categories: regularity criterion, Liouville property for ancient solutions, decay and vanishing of stationary solutions. Some discussions also touch on the full 3 dimensional equations. Two results, closing of the scaling gap for ASNS and vanishing of homogeneous D solutions in 3 dimensional slabs will be described in more detail. In the addendum, two new results in the 3rd category will also be presented, which are generalizations of recently published results by the author and coauthors.
