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 , .     

A new scaling invariant regularity criterion for the 3D MHD equations in terms of horizontal gradient of horizontal components

We prove a new scaling invariant regularity criterion for the 3D MHD equations via horizontal gradient of horizontal components of weak solutions. This result improves a recent work by Ni et al. (2012), in the sense that the assumption on the horizontal gradient of the vertical components is removed. As a byproduct, a scaling invariant regularity criterion involving vertical components of vorticity and current density is also obtained.     

Regularity criterion for generalized Newtonian fluids in bounded domains

The regularity of a non-Newtonian flow in a domain with a boundary cannot be treated easily because of the nonlinear viscosity term and the global property of the pressure. A distance function was used in a previous study to obtain a strong solution. In the present study, using the distance function idea, we obtain Serrin-type regularity criteria for the vorticity and the velocity with regard to non-Newtonian equations with shear-dependent viscosity in a bounded domain.     

Global regularity of a class of p-fluid flows in cylinders

We consider the motion of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid with shear dependent viscosity. We extend and improve the results obtained in the recent paper by Crispo [F. Crispo, Shear thinning viscous fluids in cylindrical domains. Regularity up to the boundary, J. Math. Fluid Mech., in press], concerning the case of the motion between two coaxial cylinders, to the case of a full cylinder. Actually we prove boundary regularity for solutions to the stationary Dirichlet problem with zero boundary data.     

On the regularity criterion for three-dimensional micropolar fluid flows in Besov spaces

This paper studies the regularity criterion of weak solutions for three-dimensional (3D) micropolar fluid flows. When the velocity field satisfies for −1<r<1, then the weak solution (u,w) is regular on (0,T]. The methods are mainly based on the Fourier localization technique and Bony’s para-product decomposition.     

Logarithmically improved regularity criterion for the 3D generalized magneto-hydrodynamic equations

This article proves the logarithmically improved Serrin's criterion for solutions of the 3D generalized magneto-hydrodynamic equations in terms of the gradient of the velocity field, which can be regarded as improvement of results in [10] (Luo Y W. On the regularity of generalized MHD equations. J Math Anal Appl, 2010, 365: 806–808) and [18] (Zhang Z J. Remarks on the regularity criteria for generalized MHD equations. J Math Anal Appl, 2011, 375: 799–802).     

Some regularity criteria for the 3D incompressible magnetohydrodynamics

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.     

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

     

A regularity criterion for the 2D MHD system with zero magnetic diffusivity

This note proves a regularity criterion ∇b∈L¹(0,T;BMO(R²)) for the 2D MHD system with zero magnetic diffusivity.     

Global regularity criterion for the Navier‐Stokes equations based on the direction of vorticity

We study the regularity criterion for the Navier‐Stokes equations and show that the (β₁,β₂,β₃)‐Hölder continuity assumption in (x₁,x₂,x₃) on the direction of the vorticity ensures the regularity of the solution. This may be viewed as an extension of many previous results, since some of the β_i can be arbitrarily small.

On the global regularity of shear thinning flows in smooth domains

In some recent papers we have been pursuing regularity results up to the boundary, in W2,l(Ω) spaces for the velocity, and in W1,l(Ω) spaces for the pressure, for fluid flows with shear dependent viscosity. To fix ideas, we assume the classical non-slip boundary condition. From the mathematical point of view it is appropriate to distinguish between the shear thickening case, p>2, and the shear thinning case, p<2, and between flat-boundaries and smooth, arbitrary, boundaries. The p<2 non-flat boundary case is still open. The aim of this work is to extend to smooth boundaries the results proved in reference [H. Beirão da Veiga, On non-Newtonian p-fluids. The pseudo-plastic case, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 344 (1) (2008) 175-185]. This is done here by appealing to a quite general method, introduced in reference [H. Beirão da Veiga, On the Ladyzhenskaya-Smagorinsky turbulence model of the Navier-Stokes equations in smooth domains. The regularity problem, J. Eur. Math. Soc., in press], suitable for considering non-flat boundaries.
