A direct proof of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem

Jörg Wolf (2008)

Banach Center Publications

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 l i m s u p R 0 1 / R Q R ( x , t ) | c u r l u × u / | u | | ² d x d t ε * for a sufficiently small ε * > 0 .

A geometric improvement of the velocity-pressure local regularity criterion for a suitable weak solution to the Navier-Stokes equations

Jiří Neustupa (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We deal with a suitable weak solution ( 𝐯 , p ) to the Navier-Stokes equations in a domain Ω 3 . We refine the criterion for the local regularity of this solution at the point ( 𝐟 x 0 , t 0 ) , which uses the L 3 -norm of 𝐯 and the L 3 / 2 -norm of p in a shrinking backward parabolic neighbourhood of ( 𝐱 0 , t 0 ) . The refinement consists in the fact that only the values of 𝐯 , respectively p , in the exterior of a space-time paraboloid with vertex at ( 𝐱 0 , t 0 ) , respectively in a ”small” subset of this exterior, are considered. The consequence is that...

A note on the generalized energy inequality in the Navier-Stokes equations

Petr Kučera, Zdeněk Skalák (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

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.

A parabolic system involving a quadratic gradient term related to the Boussinesq approximation.

Jesús Ildefonso Díaz, Jean-Michel Rakotoson, Paul G. Schmidt (2007)

RACSAM

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...

A short note on L q theory for Stokes problem with a pressure-dependent viscosity

Václav Mácha (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

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 p and on the symmetric part of a gradient of u , namely, it is represented by a stress tensor T ( D u , p ) : = ν ( p , | D | 2 ) D which satisfies r -growth condition with r ( 1 , 2 ] . In order to get the main result, we use Calderón-Zygmund theory and the method which was presented for example in...

A uniqueness result for a model for mixtures in the absence of external forces and interaction momentum

Jens Frehse, Sonja Goj, Josef Málek (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a continuum model describing steady flows of a miscible mixture of two fluids. The densities ρ i of the fluids and their velocity fields u ( i ) are prescribed at infinity: ρ i | = ρ i > 0 , u ( i ) | = 0 . 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 ρ i ρ i , u ( i ) 0 , i = 1 , 2 .

Additional note on partial regularity of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the class L ( 0 , T , L 3 ( Ω ) 3 )

Zdeněk Skalák (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

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 𝐮 belongs to L ( 0 , T , L 3 ( Ω ) 3 ) , then the set of all possible singular points of 𝐮 in Ω is at most finite at every time t 0 ( 0 , T ) .

Almost global solutions of the free boundary problem for the equations of a magnetohydrodynamic incompressible fluid

Piotr Kacprzyk (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

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.
