Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the global well-posedness of 3-D incompressible inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes equations with ill-prepared large initial data which are slowly varying in one space variable, that is, initial data of the form (1+\e\bea0(xh,\ex3),(\ve1\alv0h,\ve\alv03)(xh,\ex3))\bigl(1+\e^{\be}a_0(x_{\rm h},\e x_3),(\ve^{1-\al} v^{\rm h}_0, \ve^{-\al}v_0^3)(x_{\rm h},\e x_3)\bigr) for any \al]0,1/3[,\al\in ]0,1/3[, \be>2\al,\be>2\al, and \ve\ve being sufficiently small. We remark that initial data of this type do not satisfy the smallness conditions in \cite{c-p-z,HPZ3} no matter how small \e\e is. In particular, this result greatly improves the global well-posedness result in \cite{PZZ3} with the so-called well-prepared initial data.
