Hou", "Zuoqiang Shi", "Shu Wang" ], "categories": [ "math.AP" ], "abstract": "In this short note, we study the local well-posedness of a 3D model for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with partial viscosity. This model was originally proposed by Hou-Lei in \\cite{HouLei09a}. In a recent paper, we prove that this 3D model with partial viscosity will develop a finite time singularity for a class of initial condition using a mixed Dirichlet Robin boundary condition. The local well-posedness analysis of this initial boundary value problem is more subtle than the corresponding well-posedness analysis using a standard boundary condition because the Robin boundary condition we consider is non-dissipative. We establish the local well-posedness of this initial boundary value problem by designing a Picard iteration in a Banach space and proving the convergence of the Picard iteration by studying the well-posedness property of the heat equation with the same Dirichlet Robin boundary condition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-07-12T03:28:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "local well-posedness", "incompressible navier-stokes equations", "dirichlet robin boundary condition", "3d model", "partial viscosity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1107.1823H" } } }
