We study Liouville type of theorems for the Navier-Stokes and the Euler equations on $\Bbb R^N$, $N\geq 2$. Specifically, we prove that if a weak solution $(v,p)$ satisfies $|v|^2 +|p| \in L^1 (0,T; L^1(\Bbb R^N, w_1(x)dx))$ and $\int_{\Bbb R^N} p(x,t)w_2 (x)dx \geq0$ for some weight functions $w_1(x)$ and $w_2 (x)$, then the solution is trivial, namely $v=0$ almost everywhere on $\Bbb R^N \times (0, T)$. Similar results hold for the MHD Equations on $\Bbb R^N$, $N\geq3$.
In this note, we investigate the 3D steady axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations, and obtained Liouville type theorems if the velocity or the vorticity satisfies some a priori decay assumptions.
In this paper, we investigate the 3D inhomogeneous Navier-Stokes flows with vacuum, and obtain regularity criteria and Liouville type theorems in the Lorentz space if a smooth solution $(ρ, \mathbf{u})$ satisfies suitable conditions.
Our aim is to prove Liouville type theorems for the three dimensional steady-state Navier-Stokes equations provided the velocity field belongs to some Lorentz spaces. The corresponding statement contains several known results as a particular case.
In this paper we study the Liouville type problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in $\Bbb R^3$. We deduce an asymptotic formula for an integral involving the head pressure, $Q=\frac12 |v|^2 +p$, and its derivative over domains enclosed by level surfaces of $Q$. This formula provides us with new sufficient condition for the triviality of solution to the Navier-Stokes equations.
Uniqueness of Leray solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations is a challenging open problem. In this article we will study this problem for the 3D stationary Navier-Stokes equations and under some additional hypotheses, stated in terms of Lebesgue and Morrey spaces, we will show that the trivial solution U = 0 is the unique solution. This type of results are known as Liouville theorems.
The Liouville problem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations on the whole space is a challenging open problem who has know several recent contributions. We prove here some Liouville type theorems for these equations provided the velocity field belongs to some Lorentz spaces and then in the more general setting of Morrey spaces. Our theorems correspond to a improvement of some recent result on this problem and contain some well-known results as a particular case.
We establish a Liouville theorem for bounded mild ancient solutions to the axi-symmetric incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on $(-\infty, 0] \times (\mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{T}^1)$. This is a step forward to completely solve the conjecture on $(-\infty, 0] \times \mathbb{R}^3$ which was made in \cite{KNSS} to describe the potential singularity structures of the Cauchy problem.
We study axially symmetric $D$-solutions of three dimensional steady Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that if the velocity $u$ decays like $|x'|^{-(\frac{2}{3})^+}$ uniformly for $z$, or the vorticity $ω$ decays like $|x'|^{-(\frac{5}{3})^+}$ uniformly for $z$, then $u$ vanishes. Here $|x'|$ denotes the distance to the axis.
We prove that suitable weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations exhibit Type I singularities if and only if there exists a non-trivial mild bounded ancient solution satisfying a Type I decay condition. The main novelty is in the reverse direction, which is based on the idea of zooming out on a regular solution to generate a singularity. By similar methods, we prove a Liouville theorem for ancient solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations bounded in $L^3$ along a backward sequence of times.
In this paper we prove Liouville type theorem for the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in $\Bbb R^3$ under the assumptions on the relative decays of velocity, pressure and the head pressure. More precisely, we show that any smooth solution $(u,p)$ of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations satisfying $u(x) \to 0$ as $|x|\to +\infty$ and the condition of finite Dirichlet integral $\int_{\Bbb R^3} | \nabla u|^2 dx <+\infty $ is trivial, if either $|u|/|Q|=O(1)$ or $|p|/|Q| =O(1) $ as $|x|\to \infty$, where $|Q|=\frac12 |u|^2 +p$ is the head pressure.
In the paper \cite{KNSS:1}, the authors make the following conjecture: {\it any bounded ancient mild solution of the 3D axially symmetric Navier-Stokes equations is constant.} And it is proved in the case that the solution is swirl free. Our purpose of this paper is to improve their result by allowing that the solution can grow with a power smaller than 1 with respect to the distance to the origin. Also, we will show that such a power is optimal to prove the Liouville type theorem since we can find counterexamples for the Navier-Stokes equations such that the Liouville theorem fails if the sol…
This work studies the system of $3D$ stationary Navier-Stokes equations. Several Liouville type theorems are established for solutions in mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces and weighted mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces. In particular, we show that, under some sufficient conditions in mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces, solutions of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations are identically zero. This result covers the important case that solutions may decay to zero with different rates in different spatial directions, and some these rates could be significantly slow. In the un-mixed norm case, the result recovers avail…
Uniqueness of the trivial solution (the zero solution) for the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations is an interesting problem who has known several recent contributions. These results are also known as the Liouville type problem for the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations. In the setting of the $L^p-$ spaces, when $3\leq p \leq 9/2$ it is known that the trivial solution of these equations is the unique one. In this note, we extend this previous result to other values of the parameter $p$. More precisely, we prove that the velocity field must be zero provided that it belongs to the $L^p -$ spa…
We investigate existence, Liouville type theorems and regularity results for the 3D stationary and incompressible fractional Navier-Stokes equations: in this setting the usual Laplacian is replaced by its fractional power $(-Δ)^{\fracα{2}}$ with $0<α<2$. By applying a fixed point argument, weak solutions can be obtained in the Sobolev space $\dot{H}^{\fracα{2}}(\mathbb{R})$ and if we add an extra integrability condition, stated in terms of Lebesgue spaces, then we can prove for some values of $α$ that the zero function is the unique smooth solution. The additional integrability condition is al…

We show that any smooth stationary solution of the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space, the half space, or a periodic slab must vanish under the condition that for some $0 \le δ\le 1<L$ and $q=6(3-δ)/(6-δ)$, $$\liminf_{R \to \infty} \frac 1R \|u\|^{3-δ}_{L^{q}(R<|x|<LR)}=0.$$ We also prove sufficient conditions allowing shrinking radii ratio $L= 1+R^{-α}$. Similar results hold on a slab with zero boundary condition by assuming stronger decay rates. We do not assume global bound of the velocity. The key is to estimate the pressure locally in the annuli with radii ratio …
In this paper we prove a Liouville type theorem for generalized stationary Navier-Stokes systems in $\Bbb R^3$, which model non-Newtonian fluids, where the Laplacian term $Δu$ is replaced by the corresponding non linear operator $\bA_p( u)=\nabla \cdot ( |\bD(u)|^{p-2} \bD(u))$ with $ \bD(u) = \frac{1}{2} (\nabla u + (\nabla u)^{ \top})$, $3/2<p< 3$. In the case $3/2< p\le 9/5$ we show that a suitable weak solution $u\in W^{1, p}(\Bbb R^3)$ satisfying $ \liminf_{R \rightarrow \infty} |u_{ B(R)}| =0$ is trivial, i.e. $u\equiv 0$. On the other hand, for $9/5<p<3$ we impose the condition for the …
We show that weak solutions of degenerate Navier-Stokes equations converge to the strong solutions of the pressureless Euler system with linear drag term, Newtonian repulsion and quadratic confinement. The proof is based on the relative entropy method using the artificial velocity formulation for the one-dimensional Navier-Stokes system.
In this paper, we investigate the three dimensional stationary compressible Navier-Stokes equations, and obtain Liouville type theorems if a smooth solution $(ρ, \mathbf{u})$ satisfies some suitable conditions. In particular, our results improve and generalize the corresponding result of Li and Yu (2014) [8].
We establish the validity of the Euler$+$Prandtl approximation for solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in the half plane with Dirichlet boundary conditions, in the vanishing viscosity limit, for initial data which are analytic only near the boundary, and Sobolev smooth away from the boundary. Our proof does not require higher order correctors, and works directly by estimating an $L^{1}$-type norm for the vorticity of the error term in the expansion Navier-Stokes$-($Euler$+$Prandtl$)$. An important ingredient in the proof is the propagation of local analyticity for the Euler equation, a re…
