Abstract
In this paper, we consider the vanishing viscosity limit of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations with the total Navier-slip boundary condition in a horizontally periodic strip. We will show that as the viscosity approaches to zero, there exist a sequence of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations that approach that of the limiting Euler system. Moreover, we construct this sequence of solutions to keep the same cross-section flux with that of the limiting Euler, which is independent of the viscosity. Such construction of flux-conserved solutions is not easy to achieve in the case of the no-slip boundary condition. Due to the principle of the Prandtl-Batchelor theory, the limiting Euler solution can only be the Couette flow for some suitable constants A and B. The constant A is determined by the boundary condition and the constant B is determined by the given flux.
As an application, we can show the structure stability of any Couette flow for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations with fixed viscosity and suitably large flux when equipped with the total Navier-slip boundary condition.
