Abstract

This paper is concerned with the instability and stability of the trivial steady states of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with Navier-slip boundary conditions in a slab domain in dimension two. The main results show that the stability (or instability) of this constant equilibrium depends crucially on whether the boundaries dissipate energy and the strengthen of the viscosity and slip length. It is shown that in the case that when all the boundaries are dissipative, then nonlinear asymptotic stability holds true. Otherwise, there is a sharp critical viscosity, which distinguishes the linear and nonlinear stability from instability.
