Abstract

Recently Qi S. Zhang provides examples of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations which, under suitable hypothesis, blow up in finite time. He considers axially symmetric solutions in a cylinder DD\, under appropriate boundary conditions and under the effect of super critical external forces f.f\,. The loss of boundedness for the velocity field, as tT,t\rightarrow T\,, is the basic case of blow up. However a more general situation is considered below, as explained in the preamble.\par In his main result Zhang exhibits, for each q<,q<\infty\,, a blow up solution with an external force fLq(0,T;L1(D)).f\in L^q(0,T;L^1(D))\,. Following Zhang, we construct blow up solutions with forcing terms in Lq(0,T;Lp(D)),L^q(0,T;L^p(D))\,, for suitable pairs (q,p).(q,p)\,. In particular our results contain Zhang's result. A significant particular case is the existence of external forces fL1(0,T;Lp(D)),f \in L^1(0,T;L^p(D))\,, for every p<2p<2, for which the velocity blows up in a finite time. The significant case p=2p=2 remains open.
