Abstract

For any divergence free initial data in H12H^\frac12, we prove the existence of infinitely many dissipative solutions to both the 3D Navier-Stokes and MHD equations, whose energy profiles are continuous and decreasing on [0,)[0,\infty). If the initial data is only L2L^2, our construction yields infinitely many solutions with continuous energy, but not necessarily decreasing. Our theorem does not hold in the case of zero viscosity as this would violate the weak-strong uniqueness principle due to Lions. This was achieved by designing a convex integration scheme that takes advantage of the dissipative term.
