Abstract

In this article, we consider a three-dimensional Navier–Stokes–Voight model with memory where relaxation effects are described through a distributed delay. We prove the existence of uniform global attractors urn:x-wiley:01704214:media:mma2771:mma2771-math-0001, where ϵ ∈ (0,1) is the scaling parameter in the memory kernel. Furthermore, we prove that the model converges to the classical three-dimensional Navier–Stokes–Voight system in an appropriate sense as ϵ → 0. In particular, we construct a family of exponential attractors Ξϵ that is robust as ϵ → 0. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
