We give a weak-strong uniqueness result for the weak solutions of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations in Besov space.     

Uniqueness for some Leray-Hopf solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We exhibit simple sufficient conditions which give weak-strong uniqueness for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. The main tools are trilinear estimates and energy inequalities. We then apply our result to the framework of Lorentz, Morrey and Besov over Morrey spaces so as to get new weak-strong uniqueness classes and so uniqueness classes for solutions in the Leray-Hopf class. In the last section, we give a uniqueness and regularity result. We obtain new uniqueness classes for solutions in the Leray-Hopf class without energy inequalities but sufficiently regular.     

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.     

On the uniqueness of strong solution to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global strong solution for any β>3 and the strong solution is unique when 3<β?5. This improves earlier results.     

The second iterate for the Navier-Stokes equation

We consider the iterative resolution scheme for the Navier-Stokes equation, and focus on the second iterate, more precisely on the map from the initial data to the second iterate at a given time t. We investigate boundedness properties of this bilinear operator. This new approach yields very interesting results: a new perspective on Koch-Tataru solutions; a first step towards weak-strong uniqueness for Koch-Tataru solutions; and finally an instability result in , for q>2.     

Weak Morrey spaces and strong solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We consider the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations in weak Morrey spaces. We first define a class of weak Morrey type spaces Mp*,λ(Rn) on the basis of Lorentz space Lp,∞ = Lp*(Rn)(in particular, Mp*,0(Rn) = Lp,∞, if p ＞ 1), and study some fundamental properties of them; Second,bounded linear operators on weak Morrey spaces, and establish the bilinear estimate in weak Morrey spaces. Finally, by means of Kato's method and the contraction mapping principle, we prove that the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations in weak Morrey spaces Mp*,λ(Rn) (1＜p≤n) is time-global well-posed, provided that the initial data are sufficiently small. Moreover, we also obtain the existence and uniqueness of the self-similar solution for Navier-Stokes equations in these spaces, because the weak Morrey space Mp*,n-p(Rn) can admit the singular initial data with a self-similar structure. Hence this paper generalizes Kato's results.     

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].

Navier-Stokes equations and nonlinear heat equations in modulation spaces with negative derivative indices

The Cauchy problems for Navier-Stokes equations and nonlinear heat equations are studied in modulation spaces . Though the case of the derivative index s=0 has been treated in our previous work, the case s≠0 is also treated in this paper. Our aim is to reveal the conditions of s, q and σ of for the existence of local and global solutions for initial data .     

A Liouville theorem for the axially-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations

Let v(x,t)=vrer+vθeθ+vzez be a solution to the three-dimensional incompressible axially-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations. Denote by b=vrer+vzez the radial-axial vector field. Under a general scaling invariant condition on b, we prove that the quantity Γ=rvθ is Hölder continuous at r=0, t=0. As an application, we prove that the ancient weak solutions of axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equations must be zero (which was raised by Koch, Nadirashvili, Seregin and Sverak (2009) in [15] and Seregin and Sverak (2009) in [26] as a conjecture) under the condition that b∈L^∞([0,T],BMO−1). As another application, we prove that if b∈L^∞([0,T],BMO−1), then v is regular.     

Weak and strong solutions for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with damping

In this paper, we show that the Cauchy problem of the Navier-Stokes equations with damping α|u|^β−1u(α>0) has global weak solutions for any β?1, global strong solution for any β?7/2 and that the strong solution is unique for any 7/2?β?5.     

Existence and uniqueness of global classical solutions to 3D isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with general initial data

In this paper we study the global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to the Cauchy problem for 3D isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations with general initial data which could contain vacuum.We give the relation between the viscosity coefficients and the initial energy,which implies that the Cauchy problem under consideration has a global classical solution.     

Uniqueness of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations

Consider the Navier-Stokes equation with the initial data a ∈ L _σ ²(ℝ ^d ). Let u and v be two weak solutions with the same initial value a. If u satisfies the usual energy inequality and if ∇v ∈ L ²((0, T); (ℝ ^d ) ^d ) where (ℝ ^d ) is the multiplier space, then we have u = v.     

Self-similar solutions to the isothermal compressible Navier-Stokes equations

^** Email: guo_zhenhua{at}iapcm.ac.cn^*** Email: jiang{at}iapcm.ac.cn We investigate the self-similar solutions to the isothermalcompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The aim of thispaper is to show that there exist neither forward nor backwardself-similar solutions with finite total energy. This generalizesthe results for the incompressible case in Neas, J., Rika, M.& verák, V. (1996, On Leray's self-similar solutionsof the Navier-Stokes equations. Acta. Math., 176, 283–294),and is consistent with the (unproved) existence of regular solutionsglobally in time for the compressible Navier–Stokes equations.     

The convergence of non-Newtonian fluids to Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, the convergence of solutions for incompressible dipolar viscous non-Newtonian fluids is investigated. We obtain the conclusion that the solutions of non-Newtonian fluids converge to the solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in the sense of L²-norm (resp. H¹-norm), as the viscosities tend to zero and the initial data belong to H¹(Ω) (resp. H²(Ω)). Moreover, we obtain L^∞-norm convergence of solutions if the initial data belong to H²(Ω).     

Global L~2 Stability of the Nonhomogeneous Incompressible Navier–Stokes Equations

In this paper, the problem of the global L^2 stability for large solutions to the nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in 3D bounded or unbounded domains is studied. By delicate energy estimates and under the suitable condition of the large solutions, it shows that if the initial data are small perturbation on those of the known strong solutions, the large solutions are stable.

Holder Zygmund Space Techniques to the Navier-Stokes Equations in the Whole Spaces

With the use of Hölder Zygmund space techniques, local regular solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations in R^n are shown to exist when the initial data are in the space {a|(-Δ)^{-β/2}a ∈ C^0(R^n)^n}\quad(0 < β < 1)     

Asymptotic behavior for the Stokes flow and Navier-Stokes equations in half spaces

Using the solution formula in Ukai (1987) [27] for the Stokes equations, we find asymptotic profiles of solutions in (n?2) for the Stokes flow and non-stationary Navier-Stokes equations. Since the projection operator is unbounded, we use a decomposition for P(u⋅∇u) to overcome the difficulty, and prove that the decay rate for the first derivatives of the strong solution u of the Navier-Stokes system in is controlled by for any t>0.     

On the blowing up of solutions to one-dimensional quantum Navier-Stokes equations

The blow-up in finite time for the solutions to the initial-boundary value problem associated to the one-dimensional quantum Navier-Stokes equations in a bounded domain is proved. The model consists of the mass conservation equation and a momentum balance equation, including a nonlinear third-order differen- tial operator, with the quantum Bohm potential, and a density-dependent viscosity. It is shown that, under suitable boundary conditions and assumptions on the initial data, the solution blows up after a finite time, if the viscosity constant is not bigger than the scaled Planck constant. The proof is inspired by an observable constructed by Gamba, Gualdani and Zhang, which has been used to study the blowing up of solutions to quantum hydrodynamic models.
