Résumé

Finite-dimensional, inviscid equations of hydrodynamics, obtained through a Fourier-Galerkin projection, thermalize with an energy equipartition. Hence, numerical solutions of such inviscid equations, which typically must be Galerkin-truncated, show a behavior at odds with the parent equation. An important consequence of this is an uncertainty in the measurement of the temporal evolution of the distance of the complex singularity from the real domain leading to a lack of a firm conjecture on the finite-time blow-up problem in the incompressible, three-dimensional Euler equation. We now propose, by using the one-dimensional Burgers equation as a testing ground, a numerical recipe, named tyger purging, to arrest the onset of thermalization and hence recover the true dissipative solution. Our method, easily adapted for higher dimensions, provides a tool to not only tackle the celebrated blow-up problem but also to obtain weak and dissipative solutions-conjectured by Onsager and numerically elusive thus far-of the Euler equation.
