How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Couette flow with the thermal wall entropy balance

Example

Let x be periodic, 0<y<L, and fix p0>0, Tw>0, a≠0, μ>0, and κ>0. Define

u(x,y)=(ay,0),T(y)=Tw+μa22κy(L−y),ρ(y)=p0RT(y),

and m=ρu, E=p0/(γ−1)+ρa2y2/2. This is a smooth positive steady solution with constant pressure p0, no-slip wall velocities u(x,0)=(0,0) and u(x,L)=(aL,0), and wall temperature Tw at both walls. Per unit periodic length, the outward physical-entropy flux through the two thermal walls equals

[−κT′T]0L=∫0L(μa2T+κ(T′)2T2)dy>0.

This is a continuous wall-balance example; it specifies no discrete wall flux.

Verification

Given: The two-dimensional ideal-gas Navier–Stokes–Fourier model, Ω periodic in x and equal to (0,L) in y, and the displayed fields.

[F1] Ideal-gas compressible Navier–Stokes–Fourier model: p=(γ−1)(E−∣m∣2/(2ρ)), τ=2μD0+ζ(tr⁡D)I, and Fjvisc=(0,τj⋅,u⋅τj⋅+κ∂jT).

[F2] Smooth ideal-gas Navier–Stokes–Fourier entropy identity: physical entropy ρs=−η satisfies ∂t(ρs)+∇⋅(ρsu−κ∇T/T)=τ:∇u/T+κ∣∇T∣2/T2.

The profile has T(y)≥Tw>0, so ρ>0. Its internal-energy density is E−∣m∣2/(2ρ)=p0/(γ−1), hence [F1] gives p=p0. The velocity gradient has only ∂yu1=a, so ∇⋅u=0, τ12=τ21=μa, and all entries of τ are constant.

The mass divergence is zero because the field is independent of x and u2=0. The momentum divergence is zero because p is constant, τ is constant, and every y-velocity is zero. For total energy, the Euler flux has zero divergence; the only nonzero viscous energy flux is F2,Evisc=u⋅τ2⋅+κT′=μa2y+κT′. Since T′′=−μa2/κ, its derivative is zero. Thus all conservative equations hold.

The stress production is τ:∇u=μa2. The physical entropy law [F2], no normal velocity at either wall, and periodicity in x give the boundary-flux identity after integration in y. Directly, (κT′/T)′=κT′′/T−κ(T′)2/T2=−μa2/T−κ(T′)2/T2, so integrating its negative proves the equality. The integrand is strictly positive because a≠0, μ>0, and T>0.
