Partial boundary regularity for the Navier-Stokes equations in irregular domains

Analysis of PDEs 2022-10-04 v2

Abstract

We prove partial regularity of suitable weak solutions to the Navier--Stokes equations at the boundary in irregular domains. In particular, we provide a criterion which yields continuity of the velocity field in a boundary point and obtain solutions which are continuous in a.a. boundary boundary point (their existence is a consequence of a new maximal regularity result for the Stokes equations in domains with minimal regularity). We suppose that we have a Lipschitz boundary with locally small Lipschitz constant which belongs to the fractional Sobolev space W21/p,pW^{2-1/p,p} for some p>154p>\frac{15}{4}. The same result was previously only known under the much stronger assumption of a C2C^2-boundary.

Comments

We added the proof of the maximal regularity theory for the unsteady Stokes system in irregular domains. A variant of it was previously included in arXiv:2207.14159 but has been removed in the revised version. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2207.14159
