Abstract: Inspired by some experimental (numerical) works on fractional diffusion PDEs, we develop a rigorous framework to prove that solutions to the fractional Navier-Stokes equations, which involve the fractional Laplacian operator, converge to a solution of the classical case. Precisely, in the setting of mild solutions, we prove uniform convergence in both the time and spatial variables and derive a precise convergence rate, revealing some phenomenological effects.
