  Title:	Asymptotic properties of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in 2D exterior domains
  Time/Place:	4:30 p.m., B&H 155

  Abstract:   Techniques inherited from dynamical systems theory can be applied to derive asymptotic properties for Navier-Stokes flows in 2D exterior domains. In both the stationary and time-periodic case, interpreting the coordinate parallel to the limiting (nonzero) velocity at infinity as a "time coordinate" allows one to write the 2D Navier-Stokes equations in a form which is reminiscent of a nonlinear parabolic equation in 1D, with the somewhat surprising result that both type of flows cannot be distinguished from one another far in the downstream direction.
