The aim of this paper is to establish some logarithmically improved regularity criteria in term of the multiplier spaces to the Navier-Stokes equations.     

Regularity criteria in terms of pressure for the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations in a generic domain

We consider the 3-D Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space ₊³, or a bounded domain with smooth boundary, or else an exterior domain with smooth boundary. Some new sufficient conditions on pressure or the gradient of pressure for the regularity of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations are obtained.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000):35B45, 35B65, 76D05     

On the regularity criteria of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in critical spaces

Regularity criteria of Leray-Hopf weak solutions to the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in some critical spaces such as Lorentz space, Morrey space and multiplier space are derived in terms of two partial derivatives, 1 u 1 , 2 u 2 , of velocity fields.     

A regularity criterion for the solutions of 3D Navier-Stokes equations

In terms of two partial derivatives of any two components of velocity fields, we give a new criterion for the regularity of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in R³. More precisely, let u=(u¹,u²,u³) be a weak solution in (0,T)×R³. Then u becomes a classical solution if any two functions of _∂1u¹, _∂2u² and _∂3u³ belong to Lθ(0,T;Lr(R³)) provided with , .     

On regularity criteria in terms of pressure for the Navier-Stokes equations in

In this paper we establish a Serrin-type regularity criterion on the gradient of pressure for the weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in . It is proved that if the gradient of pressure belongs to with , , then the weak solution is actually regular. Moreover, we give a much simpler proof of the regularity criterion on the pressure, which was showed recently by Berselli and Galdi (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 130 (2002), no. 12, 3585-3595).

     

A remark on regularity of 1D compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity

In this paper, we consider one-dimensional compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations with the viscosity depending on density and with the free boundary. The viscosity coefficient μ is proportional to ρθ with θ>0, where ρ is the density. The existence, uniqueness, regularity of global weak solutions in H¹([0,1]) have been established by Xin and Yao in [Z. Xin, Z. Yao, The existence, uniqueness and regularity for one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, preprint]. Furthermore, under certain assumptions imposed on the initial data, we improve the regularity result obtained in [Z. Xin, Z. Yao, The existence, uniqueness and regularity for one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, preprint] by driving some new a priori estimates.     

Regularity criterion of weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations via two velocity components

This paper is concerned with the regularity criterion of Leray-Hopf weak solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with respect to Serrin type condition on two velocity filed components. It is shown that the weak solution u=(u₁,u₂,u₃) is regular on (0,T] if there exist two solution components, for example, u₂ and u₃, satisfying the condition

In this paper, we consider regularity criterion for the three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. We present some sufficient integrability conditions on some components of the velocity and magnetic fields for the regularity of the weak solutions.     

Refined a priori estimates for the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we consider the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations, and provide a refined a priori estimate for the swirl component of the vorticity. This extends Theorem 2 of [D. Chae, J. Lee, On the regularity of the axisymmetric solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations, Math. Z., 239 (2002), 645--671].     

A remark on regularity criterion for the dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations

This paper concerns with a regularity criterion of solutions to the 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations. Based on a logarithmic Sobolev inequality in Besov spaces, the absence of singularities of θ in [0,T] is derived for θ a solution on the interval [0,T) satisfying the condition

We extend Serrin's regularity class for weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations to a larger class replacing the Lebesgue spaces by Lorentz spaces. Received November 30, 2000; accepted January 16, 2001.     

A note on the non-formation of vacuum states for compressible Navier-Stokes equations

We give a refinement of Lemma 2.2 in [D. Hoff, J.A. Smoller, Non-formation of vacuum states for compressible Navier-Stokes equations, Comm. Math. Phys. 216 (2001) 255-276] and complete the proof of non-formation of vacuum states for one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equation given there.     

A note on barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations

The global-in-time existence of weak solutions to the barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations has been proved very recently, by Jüngel (2009) [1], if the viscosity constant is smaller than the scaled Plank constant. This paper extends the results to the case that the viscosity constant equals the scaled Plank constant. By using a new estimate on the square root of the solution, apparently not available in [1], the semiclassical limit for the viscous quantum Euler equations (which are equivalent to the barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations) can be performed; then the results of this paper are obtained easily.     

Local regularity of the Navier-Stokes equations near the curved boundary

We present some regularity conditions for suitable weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations near the curved boundary of a sufficiently smooth domain. Our extend the work that was results established near a flat boundary by Gustafson, Kang and Tsai (2006) [6].     

On the blow-up criterion of 3D Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper we prove some properties of the maximal solution of Navier-Stokes equations. If the maximum time is finite, we establish that the growth of is at least of the order of (see Eq. (1.4)), also we give some new blow-up results. Specific properties and standard techniques are used.     

Partial regularity for the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations

The effects of random forces on the emergence of singularities in the Navier-Stokes equations are investigated. In spite of the presence of white noise, the paths of a martingale suitable weak solution have a set of singular points of one-dimensional Hausdorff measure zero. Furthermore statistically stationary solutions with finite mean dissipation rate are analysed. For these stationary solutions it is proved that at any time the set of singular points is empty. The same result holds true for every martingale solution starting from -a.e. initial condition , where is the law at time zero of a stationary solution. Finally, the previous result is non-trivial when the noise is sufficiently non-degenerate, since for any stationary solution, the measure is supported on the whole space of initial conditions.
