In this paper, we derive several new sufficient conditions of non-breakdown of strong solutions for for both the 3D heat-conducting compressible Navier-Stokes system and nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. First, it is shown that there exists a positive constant $varepsilon$ such that the solution $(rho,u,theta)$ to full compressible Navier-Stokes equations can be extended beyond $t=T$ provided that one of the following two conditions holds (1) $rho in L^{infty}(0,T;L^{infty}(mathbb{R}^{3}))$, $uin L^{p,infty}(0,T;L^{q,infty}(mathbb{R}^{3}))$ and $$| u|_{L^{p,infty}(0,T;L^{q,infty}(mathbb{R}^{3}))}leq varepsilon, ~~text{with}~~ {2/p}+ {3/q}=1, q>3;$$ (2) $lambda<3mu,$ $rho in L^{infty}(0,T;L^{infty}(mathbb{R}^{3}))$, $thetain L^{p,infty}(0,T;L^{q,infty}(mathbb{R}^{3}))$ and $$|theta|_{L^{p,infty}(0,T; L^{q,infty}(mathbb{R}^{3}))}leq varepsilon, ~~text{with}~~ {2/p}+ {3/q}=2, q>3/2.$$ To the best of our knowledge, this is the first continuation theorem allowing the time direction to be in Lorentz spaces for the compressible fluid. Second, we establish some blow-up criteria in anisotropic Lebesgue spaces to the full Navier-Stokes system. Third, without the condition on $rho$ in (0.1) and (0.3), the results also hold for the 3D nonhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The appearance of vacuum in these systems could be allowed.
The energy equalities of compressible Navier-Stokes equations with general pressure law and degenerate viscosities are studied. By using a unified approach, we give sufficient conditions on the regularity of weak solutions for these equalities to hold. The method of proof is suitable for the case of periodic as well as homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. In particular, by a careful analysis using the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, no boundary layer assumptions are required when dealing with bounded domains with boundary.
In this paper we consider the barotropic compressible quantum Navier-Stokes equations with a linear density dependent viscosity and its limit when the scaled Planck constant vanish. Following recent works on degenerate compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we prove the global existence of weak solutions by the use of a singular pressure close to vacuum. With such singular pressure, we can use the standard definition of global weak solutions which also allows to justify the limit when the scaled Planck constant denoted by $epsilon$ tends to 0.
Several types of new regularity criteria for Leray-Hopf weak solutions $u$ to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations are obtained. Some of them are based on the third component $u_3$ of velocity under Prodi-Serrin index condition, another type is in terms of $omega_3$ and $partial_3u_3$ with Prodi-Serrin index condition. And a very recent work of the authors, based on only one of the nine entries of the gradient tensor, is renovated.
