Some existence and uniqueness results for a time-dependent coupled problem of the Navier-Stokes kind

In this paper, we consider some systems which are close to the instationary Navier-Stokes equations. The structure of these systems is the following: An (N +1)-dimensional equation for motion (including the incompressibility condition) and a scalar equation involving an additional unknown, k = k(x;...

Resumo:In this paper, we consider some systems which are close to the instationary Navier-Stokes equations. The structure of these systems is the following: An (N +1)-dimensional equation for motion (including the incompressibility condition) and a scalar equation involving an additional unknown, k = k(x; t). Among other things, they serve to model the behavior of certain turbulent ows. We are mainly concerned with existence and uniqueness results. The main di culties are due to the scalar equation. In particular, the right side is typically in L1; furthermore, there are nonlinear terms of the kind r ( (k)rk) and r (B(k)), where and B are general continuous functions (no growth condition at in nity is imposed). Following the previous work of other authors, it is crucial to introduce the notion of weak-renormalized solution. Our results provide existence in the two-dimensional case, as well as the uniqueness of regular solution in both the two and three-dimensional cases.
