Regularity of the Navier-Stokes equation in a thin periodic domain with large data (Q862082): Difference between revisions

The present paper deals with existence and uniqueness of the global solution to the Navier-Stokes equations in a thin domain (\(\Omega =[0,L_1]\times[0,L_2]\times [0,\varepsilon]\) where \(L_1,L_2>0\) and \(\varepsilon \in (0,1)\)) with periodic boundary conditions. Precisely, it is proved that if \(\| \nabla u_0\| _{L^2 (\Omega)}\leq \frac{1}{C(L_1,L_2)\varepsilon^{\frac{1}{6}}}\) where \(C\) is a constant depending on \(L_1\) and \(L_2\), then there exists a unique global smooth solution with the initial datum \(u_0\).
