Regularity criterion for 3D Navier-Stokes equations in terms of the direction of the velocity

Alexis Vasseur — 2009

Applications of Mathematics

In this short note we give a link between the regularity of the solution u to the 3D Navier-Stokes equation and the behavior of the direction of the velocity u / | u | . It is shown that the control of Div ( u / | u | ) in a suitable L t p ( L x q ) norm is enough to ensure global regularity. The result is reminiscent of the criterion in terms of the direction of the vorticity, introduced first by Constantin and Fefferman. However, in this case the condition is not on the vorticity but on the velocity itself. The proof, based on very...

Regularity analysis for systems of reaction-diffusion equations

Thierry GoudonAlexis Vasseur — 2010

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

This paper is devoted to the study of the regularity of solutions to some systems of reaction–diffusion equations. In particular, we show the global boundedness and regularity of the solutions in one and two dimensions. In addition, we discuss the Hausdorff dimension of the set of singularities in higher dimensions. Our approach is inspired by De Giorgi’s method for elliptic regularity with rough coefficients. The proof uses the specific structure of the system to be considered and is not a mere...

L 2 -type contraction for systems of conservation laws

Denis SerreAlexis F. Vasseur — 2014

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

The semi-group associated with the Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation law is known to be a contraction in L 1 . However it is not a contraction in L p for any p > 1 . Leger showed in [] that for a convex flux, it is however a contraction in L 2 up to a suitable shift. We investigate in this paper whether such a contraction may happen for systems. The method is based on the relative entropy method. Our general analysis leads us to the new geometrical notion of systems. We treat in details two examples:...
