Some results on regularity of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations published recently in [3] follow easily from a classical theorem on compact operators. Further, weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the space $L^2(0,T,W^{1,3}{\left(𝛺\right)}^3)$ are regular.

We consider the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations with non-zero swirl component. By invoking the Hardy-Sobolev interpolation inequality, Hardy inequality and the theory of $*A_{\beta }$ (1 < β < ∞) weights, we establish regularity criteria involving $u^r$, ${\omega }^z$ or ${\omega }^{\theta }$ in some weighted Lebesgue spaces. This improves many previous results.

We study the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations. In 2010, Loftus-Zhang used a refined test function and re-scaling scheme, and showed that $$|{\omega }^r(x,t)|+|{\omega }^z(r,t)|\le \frac{C}{r^{10}},0<r\le \frac{1}{2}.$$ By employing the dimension reduction technique by Lei-Navas-Zhang, and analyzing ${\omega }^r$, ${\omega }^z$ and ${\omega }^{\theta }/r$ on different hollow cylinders, we are able to improve it and obtain $$|{\omega }^r(x,t)|+|{\omega }^z(r,t)|\le \frac{C\left|\ln r\right|}{r^{17/2}},0<r\le \frac{1}{2}.$$

We study the Cauchy problem for the MHD system, and provide two regularity conditions involving horizontal components (or their gradients) in Besov spaces. This improves previous results.

Nous démontrons dans cet article que le système MHD tridimensionnel à densité et viscosité variables est localement bien posé lorsque $({{\rho }_0}^{-1}-1,u_0,B_0)\in {\dot{B}}_{p1}^{\frac{3}{p}}\left({ℝ}^3\right)\times {\dot{B}}_{p1}^{\frac{3}{p}-1}\left({ℝ}^3\right)\times {\dot{B}}_{p1}^{\frac{3}{p}-1}\left({ℝ}^3\right),$ pour $p\in ]1,3]$ et la densité initiale est proche d’une constante strictement positive. Nous démontrons également un résultat d’existence et d’unicité dans l’espace de Sobolev $H^{\frac{3}{2}+\alpha }\left({ℝ}^3\right)\times H^{\frac{3}{2}-1+\alpha }\left({ℝ}^3\right)\times H^{\frac{3}{2}-1+\alpha }\left({ℝ}^3\right)$ pour $\alpha \&gt;0,$ sans aucune condition de petitesse sur la densité.

La compréhension du passage des équations de la mécanique des fluides compressibles aux équations incompressibles a fait de grands progrès ces vingt dernières années. L’objectif de cet exposé est de présenter l’évolution des méthodes mathématiques mises en œuvre pour étudier ce passage à la limite, depuis les travaux de S. Klainerman et A. Majda dans les années quatre–vingts, jusqu’à ceux récents de G. Métivier et S. Schochet (pour les équations non isentropiques). Suivant les conditions initiales...

The fully coupled description of blood flow and mass transport in blood vessels requires extremely robust numerical methods. In order to handle the heterogeneous coupling between blood flow and plasma filtration, addressed by means of Navier-Stokes and Darcy's equations, we need to develop a numerical scheme capable to deal with extremely variable parameters, such as the blood viscosity and Darcy's permeability of the arterial walls. In this paper, we describe a finite element method for...
