Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove energy conservation for the incompressible Euler equations in a domain with boundary. We work in the domain T2×R+\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}_+, where the boundary is both flat and has finite measure. However, first we study the equations on domains without boundary (the whole space R3\mathbb{R}^3, the torus T3\mathbb{T}^3, and the hybrid space T2×R\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}). We make use of some of the arguments of Duchon \& Robert ({\it Nonlinearity} {\bf 13} (2000) 249--255) to prove energy conservation under the assumption that uL3(0,T;L3(R3))u\in L^3(0,T;L^3(\mathbb{R}^3)) and one of the two integral conditions \begin{equation*} \lim_{|y|\to 0}\frac{1}{|y|}\int^T_0\int_{\mathbb{R}^3} |u(x+y)-u(x)|^3\,d x\,d t=0 \end{equation*} or \begin{equation*} \int_0^T\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}\frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^3}{|x-y|^{4+\delta}}\,d x\,d y<\infty,\qquad\delta>0, \end{equation*} the second of which is equivalent to requiring uL3(0,T;Wα,3(R3))u\in L^3(0,T;W^{\alpha,3}(\mathbb{R}^3)) for some α>1/3\alpha>1/3. We then use the first of these two conditions to prove energy conservation for a weak solution uu on D+:=T2×R+D_+:=\mathbb{T}^2\times \mathbb{R}_+: we extend uu a solution defined on the whole of T2×R\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R} and then use the condition on this domain to prove energy conservation for a weak solution uL3(0,T;L3(D+))u\in L^3(0,T;L^3(D_+)) that satisfies \begin{equation*} \lim_{|y|\to 0} \frac{1}{|y|}\int^{T}_{0}\iint_{\mathbb{T}^2}\int^\infty_{|y|}|u(t,x+y)-u(t,x)|^3 \,d x_3 \,d x_1 \,d x_2 \,d t=0, \end{equation*} and certain continuity conditions near the boundary D+={x3=0}\partial D_+=\{x_3=0\}.
