We give fully explicit upper and lower bounds for the constants in two known inequalities related to the quadratic nonlinearity of the incompressible (Euler or) Navier-Stokes equations on the torus T^d. These inequalities are tame generalizations (in the sense of Nash-Moser) of the ones analyzed in the previous works [Morosi and Pizzocchero: CPAA 2012, Appl.Math.Lett. 2013].
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.
We consider the Sobolev norms of the pointwise product of two functions, and estimate from above and below the constants appearing in two related inequalities.
We prove that the energy equality holds for weak solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in the functional class $L^3([0,T);V^{5/6})$, where $V^{5/6}$ is the domain of the fractional power of the Stokes operator $A^{5/12}$.
We study the stationary nonhomogeneous Navier--Stokes problem in a two dimensional symmetric domain with a semi-infinite outlet (for instance, either parabo-loidal or channel-like). Under the symmetry assumptions on the domain, boundary value and external force we prove the existence of at least one weak symmetric solution without any restriction on the size of the fluxes, i.e. the fluxes of the boundary value ${bf a}$ over the inner and the outer boundaries may be arbitrarily large. Only the necessary compatibility condition (the total flux is equal to zero) has to be satisfied. Moreover, the Dirichlet integral of the solution can be finite or infinite depending on the geometry of the domain.
We show that non-uniqueness of the Leray-Hopf solutions of the Navier--Stokes equation on the hyperbolic plane observed in arXiv:1006.2819 is a consequence of the Hodge decomposition. We show that this phenomenon does not occur on the hyperbolic spaces of higher dimension. We also describe the corresponding general Hamiltonian setting of hydrodynamics on complete Riemannian manifolds, which includes the hyperbolic setting.
