Remarks on the regularity criteria of the solutions of the 3D micropolar fluid equations
Liu Qiao
Keywords:micropolar fluid equations
Abstract:
      We provide two regularity criteria for the weak solutions of the 3D micropolar fluid equations, the first one in terms of one directional derivative of the velocity, i.e., $\partial_{3}u$, while the second one is is in terms of the behavior of the direction of the velocity $\frac{u}{|u|}$. More precisely, we prove that if \begin{equation*} \partial_{3}u \in L^{\beta}(0,T;L^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))\quad\text{ with }\frac{2}{\beta}+\frac{3}{\alpha}\leq 1+\frac{1}{\alpha}, 2< \alpha \leq\infty, 2\leq\beta< \infty; \end{equation*} or \begin{equation*} \operatorname{div}\left(\frac{u}{|u|}\right)\in L^{\frac{4}{1-2r}}(0,T;\dot{X}_{r}(\mathbb{R}^{3}))\quad \text{ with } 0\leq r< \frac{1}{2}, \end{equation*} then the weak solution $(u(x,t),\omega(x,t))$ is regular on $\mathbb{R}^{3}\times [0,T]$. Here $\dot{X}_{r}(\mathbb{R}^{3})$ is the multiplier space.
