Abstract

We study weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations on T2×R+\mathbb{T}^2\times \mathbb{R}_+; we use test functions that are divergence free and have zero normal component, thereby obtaining a definition that does not involve the pressure. We prove energy conservation under the assumptions that uL3(0,T;L3(T2×R+))u\in L^3(0,T;L^3(\mathbb{T}^2\times \mathbb{R}_+)), limy01y0TT2x3>yu(x+y)u(x)3dxdt=0, \lim_{|y|\to 0}\frac{1}{|y|}\int^T_0\int_{\mathbb{T}^2}\int^\infty_{x_3>|y|} |u(x+y)-u(x)|^3\mathrm{d} x\, \mathrm{d} t=0, and an additional continuity condition near the boundary: for some δ>0\delta>0 we require uL3(0,T;C0(T2×[0,δ])))u\in L^3(0,T;C^0(\mathbb{T}^2\times [0,\delta]))). We note that all our conditions are satisfied whenever u(x,t)Cαu(x,t)\in C^\alpha, for some α>1/3\alpha>1/3, with H\"older constant C(x,t)L3(T2×R+×(0,T))C(x,t)\in L^3(\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}^+\times(0,T)).
