A Priori EstimatesWe consider the Navier-Stokes system 2 v,--rdv+ 2 vkv,, = -grad fi+f(x, t),for the functions v = (vl(zl, z2 , t ) , v2(z1, x 2 , t ) ) and $(xl, x 2 , t ) in the region Q of the Euclidean z-plane x = (xl , x2) with boundary S. We assume the boundary and initial conditions (4 vIs = 0, vlh0 = a(%), (diva = 0, al, = 0). It was proved in [l] that the problem (1)-(2) (in the case of two and three space variables) is uniquely solvable for all time t 2 0, iff has a potential and if the Reynolds number at the initial moment is small, and for a period of time which is short enough even if these conditions are not fulfilled. Moreover, the unique solvability "in the large" of the Cauchy problem for system (1) in the case of two space variables was proved by J. Leray [Z] (and later by the author in a different way). As to the question of the unique solvability "in the large" of the boundary value problem (1)-(2), it seemed dubious even for two space variables (see the detailed investigations of J. Leray
Let us consider the equation n 2 2.We shall assume that the ai(z, zc, $,), i = 1, * measurable functions of their arguments satisfying the conditions nJ and u(x, u, $, ) are
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
