Global stability of large Fourier mode for 3-D anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical domain

Abstract

In this paper, we first establish the global existence and stability of solutions to 3-D classical Navier-Stokes equations $(NS)$ in an infinite cylindrical domain with large Fourier mode initial data. Then we extend similar result for 3-D anisotropic Navier-Stokes equations $(ANS).$ We remark that due to the loss of vertical viscosity in $(ANS),$ the construction of the energy functionals for $(ANS)$ is much more subtle than that of $(NS).$ Compared with our previous paper for $(NS)$, we improve the polynomial decay in $k$ for the Fourier coefficients of the solution to be exponential decay in $k$ here.
