On approximate inertial manifolds for the Navier-Stokes equations using finite elements

The nonlinearity in the Navier-Stokes equations couples the large and small scales of motion in turbulent flow. The nonlinear Galerkin method (NGM) consists of inserting into the equation for the large scale motion the small scale motion as determined by an “approximate inertial manifold”. Despit...
