The qualitative analysis of solution of the Stokes and Navier-Stokes system in non-smooth domains with weighted Sobolev spaces

Abstract

This study typically emphasizes analyzing the geometrical singularities of weak solutions of the mixed boundary value problem for the stationary Stokes and Navier-Stokes system in two-dimensional non-smooth domains with corner points and points at which the type of boundary conditions change. The existence of these points on the boundary generally generates local singularities in the solution. We will see the impact of the geometrical singularities of the boundary or the mixed boundary conditions on the qualitative properties of the solution including its regularity. The solvability of the underlying boundary value problem is analyzed in weighted Sobolev spaces and the regularity theorems are formulated in the context of these spaces. To compute the singular terms for various boundary conditions, the generalized form of the boundary eigenvalue problem for the stationary Stokes system is derived. The emerging eigenvalues and eigenfunctions produce singular terms, which permits us to evaluate the optimal regularity of the corresponding weak solution of the Stokes system. Additionally, the obtained results for the Stokes system are further extended for the non-linear Navier-Stokes system.
