This result holds in any interval of time $[0, T]$, with $T>0$. We also provide the global in time uniform boundedness of the solutions to the approximating system. Our argument is based on the use of local in time $H^s$-estimates for the model, established in a previous work, combined with the $L^2$-relative entropy estimate and the interpolation properties of the Sobolev spaces.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-07-11T09:53:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "incompressible navier-stokes equations", "relative entropy method", "strong convergence", "vector-bgk model", "time uniform boundedness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
