Abstract:
A generalized one-dimensional model for the three-dimensional vorticity equation of incompressible and viscous fluid is considered. Its viscosity term is given by an arbitrary order of derivative of the vorticity. A formal solution of the equation is given explicitly by using the spectral method. We investigate convergence of the solution and show that the solution blows up in finite time for sufficiently small viscosity coefficient regardless of the order of derivative of the viscosity term.
