In the present paper we give a new proof of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem based on a direct approach. Given a pair (u,p) of suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in ℝ³ × ]0,∞[ the velocity field u satisfies the following property of partial regularity: The velocity u is Lipschitz continuous in a neighbourhood of a point (x₀,t₀) ∈ Ω × ]0,∞ [ if
for a sufficiently small .
We deal with a suitable weak solution to the Navier-Stokes equations in a domain . We refine the criterion for the local regularity of this solution at the point , which uses the -norm of and the -norm of in a shrinking backward parabolic neighbourhood of . The refinement consists in the fact that only the values of , respectively , in the exterior of a space-time paraboloid with vertex at , respectively in a ”small” subset of this exterior, are considered. The consequence is that...
A regularity criterion for strong solutions of the Ericksen-Leslie equations is established in terms of both the pressure and orientation field in homogeneous multiplier spaces.
We prove that there exists a suitable weak solution of the Navier-Stokes equation, which satisfies the generalized energy inequality for every nonnegative test function. This improves the famous result on existence of a suitable weak solution which satisfies this inequality for smooth nonnegative test functions with compact support in the space-time.
We propose a modification of the classical Boussinesq approximation for buoyancy-driven flows of viscous, incompressible fluids in situations where viscous heating cannot be neglected. This modification is motivated by unresolved issues regarding the global solvability of the original system. A very simple model problem leads to a coupled system of two parabolic equations with a source term involving the square of the gradient of one of the unknowns. Based on adequate notions of weak and strong...
The incompressible three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations are considered. A new regularity criterion for weak solutions is established in terms of the pressure gradient.
We study higher local integrability of a weak solution to the steady Stokes problem. We consider the case of a pressure- and shear-rate-dependent viscosity, i.e., the elliptic part of the Stokes problem is assumed to be nonlinear and it depends on and on the symmetric part of a gradient of , namely, it is represented by a stress tensor which satisfies -growth condition with . In order to get the main result, we use Calderón-Zygmund theory and the method which was presented for example in...
We review several regularity criteria for the Navier-Stokes equations and prove some new ones, containing different components of the velocity gradient.
We consider a continuum model describing steady flows of a miscible mixture of two fluids. The densities of the fluids and their velocity fields are prescribed at infinity: , . Neglecting the convective terms, we have proved earlier that weak solutions to such a reduced system exist. Here we establish a uniqueness type result: in the absence of the external forces and interaction terms, there is only one such solution, namely , , .
We present a simplified proof of a theorem proved recently concerning the number of singular points of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. If a weak solution belongs to , then the set of all possible singular points of in is at most finite at every time .
Almost global in time existence of solutions for equations describing the motion of a magnetohydrodynamic incompressible fluid in a domain bounded by a free surfaced is proved. In the exterior domain we have an electromagnetic field which is generated by some currents which are located on a fixed boundary. We prove that a solution exists for t ∈ (0,T), where T > 0 is large if the data are small.
As observed by Yamazaki, the third component of the magnetic field can be estimated by the corresponding component of the velocity field in
