Abstract

Toward the open question proposed by P.-L. Lions in \cite{Lions96} concerning the propagation of regularities of density patch for viscous inhomogeneous flow, we first establish the global in time well-posedness of two-dimensional inhomogeneous incompressible Navier-Stokes system with initial density being of the form: η11\Om0+η21\Om0c,\eta_1{\bf 1}_{\Om_0}+\eta_2{\bf 1}_{\Om_0^c}, for any pair of positive constants (η1,η2),(\eta_1,\eta_2), and for any bounded, simply connected Wk+2,p(R2)W^{k+2,p}(\R^2) domain \Om0.\Om_0. We then prove that the time evolved domain \Om(t)\Om(t) also belongs to the class of Wk+2,pW^{k+2,p} for any t>0.t>0. Thus in some sense, we have solved the aforementioned Lions' question %of density patch in \cite{Lions96} in the two-dimensional case. Compared with our previous paper \cite{LZ}, here we remove the smallness condition on the jump, η1η2,|\eta_1-\eta_2|, moreover, the techniques used in the present paper are completely different from those in \cite{LZ}.
