Abstract

In this work we consider the Navier-Stokes problem modified by the absorption term uσ2u|\textbf{u}|^{\sigma-2}\textbf{u}, where σ>1\sigma>1, which is introduced in the momentum equation. % For this new problem, we prove the existence of weak solutions for any dimension N2N\geq 2 and its uniqueness for N=2. % Then we prove that, for zero body forces, the weak solutions extinct in a finite time if 1<σ<21<\sigma<2, exponentially decay in time if σ=2\sigma=2 and decay with a power-time rate if σ>2\sigma>2. % We prove also that for a general non-zero body forces, the weak solutions exponentially decay in time for any σ>1\sigma>1. In the special case of a suitable forces field which vanishes at some instant, we prove that the weak solutions extinct at the same instant provided 1<σ<21<\sigma<2.
