We study the stationary Navier–Stokes equations in the region between two rotating concentric cylinders. We first prove that, for a small Reynolds number, if the fluid flow is axisymmetric and if its velocity is sufficiently small in the $L^\infty$ -norm, then it is necessarily the Taylor–Couette–Poiseuille flow. If, in addition, the associated pre...

The asymptotic behavior of solutions to the second order elliptic equations in exterior domains is studied. In particular, under the assumption that the solution belongs to the Lorentz space $L^{p,q}$ or the weak Lebesgue space $L^{p,\infty}$ with certain conditions on the coefficients, we give natural and an almost sharp pointwise estimate of the...

Let Ω⊂RN and let ξ∈Cα([0,T];Ω) for 0<α≤12. We consider the situation that u=u(x,t) is a classical solution of the Stokes equations in ⋃0<t<T(Ω∖{ξ(t)})×{t}, that is, {ξ(t)}0<t<T is regarded as the time-dependent singularities of u in Ω×(0,T). If u behaves around ξ(t) like |u(x,t)|=o(|x−ξ(t)|2−N+(1/α−2)) as x→ξ(t) uniformly in t∈(0,T), then {ξ(t)}0<t...

We consider initial boundary value problems for the Stokes equations in a Lipschitz domain. We show the existence of solutions in an enlarged mixed normed potential space on the boundary.

Consider the nonstationary Stokes equations in exterior domains \(\Omega \subset{\Bbb R}^n(n\ge 3)\) with the compact boundary \(\partial \Omega\). We show first that the solution \(u(t)\) decays like \(\|u(t)\|_r = O(t^{-\frac{n}{2}(1-\frac{1}{r})})\) for all \(1 < r \le \infty\) as \(t\to \infty\). This decay rate \(\frac{n}{2}(1-\frac{1}{r})\) i...

We show the existence of weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with test functions in the weak-$L^n$ space. As an application, we give a new criterion on uniqueness and regularity of weak solutions which covers the previous results.
