The Helmholtz decomposition in arbitrary unbounded domains - a theory beyond
For a bounded domain , we use the notion of very weak solutions to obtain a new and large uniqueness class for solutions of the inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes system , , with , , and very general data classes for , , such that may have no differentiability property. For smooth data we get a large class of unique and regular solutions extending well known classical solution classes, and generalizing regularity results. Moreover, our results are closely related to those of a series of...
Let u be a weak solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in a smooth bounded domain Ω ⊆ ℝ³ and a time interval [0,T), 0 < T ≤ ∞, with initial value u₀, external force f = div F, and viscosity ν > 0. As is well known, global regularity of u for general u₀ and f is an unsolved problem unless we pose additional assumptions on u₀ or on the solution u itself such as Serrin’s condition where 2/s + 3/q = 1. In the present paper we prove several local and global regularity properties by using assumptions...
