Abstract

We give a localized regularity condition for energy conservation of weak solutions of the Euler equations on a domain ΩRd\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d, d2d\ge 2, with boundary. In the bulk of fluid, we assume Besov regularity of the velocity uL3(0,T;B31/3,c0)u\in L^3(0,T;B_{3}^{1/3, c_0}). On an arbitrary thin neighborhood of the boundary, we assume boundedness of velocity and pressure and, at the boundary, we assume continuity of wall-normal velocity. We also prove two theorems which establish that the global viscous dissipation vanishes in the inviscid limit for Leray--Hopf solutions uνu^\nu of the Navier-Stokes equations under the similar assumptions, but holding uniformly in a thin boundary layer of width O(νmin{1,12(1σ)})O(\nu^{\min\{1,\frac{1}{2(1-\sigma)}\}}) when uL3(0,T;B3σ,c0)u\in L^3(0, T; B_3^{\sigma, c_0}) in the interior for any σ[1/3,1]\sigma\in [1/3,1]. The first theorem assumes continuity of the velocity in the boundary layer whereas the second assumes a condition on the vanishing of energy dissipation within the layer. In both cases, strong Lt3Lx,loc3L^3_tL^3_{x,loc} convergence holds to a weak solution of the Euler equations. Finally, if a strong Euler solution exists in the background, we show that equicontinuity at the boundary within a O(ν)O(\nu) strip alone suffices to conclude the absence of anomalous dissipation.
