In this paper, we consider the 2-dimensional non-viscous Oldroyd-B model. In the case of the ratio equal 1 (α = 0), it is a difficult case since the velocity field u(t, x) is no longer decay. Fortunately, by observing the exponential decay of the stress tensor τ (t, x), we succeeded in proving the global existence for this system with some large initial data. Moreover, we give an unsteady result: when the ratio is close to 1 (a → 0), the system is not steady for large time. This implies an interesting physical phenomenon that the term aDu is a bridge between the transformation of kinetic energy u and elastic potential energy τ , but this process is transient for large time, which leads the instability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
