Abstract: Given bounded vector field $b:mathbb{R}^{d}omathbb{R}^d$, scalar field $u:mathbb{R}^{d}omathbbR$ and a smooth function $$ we study the characterization of the distribution $$ in terms of $mathrmdiv,b$ and $mathrmdiv(ub)$. In the case of $BV$ vector fields $b$ (and under some further assumptions) such characterization was obtained by L. Ambrosio, C. De Lellis and J. Mal'y, up to an error term which is a measure concentrated on so-called emph{tangential set} of $b$. We answer some questions posed in their paper concerning the properties of this term. In particular we construct a nearly incompressible $BV$ vector field $b$ and a bounded function $u$ for which this term is nonzero. For steady nearly incompressible vector fields $b$ (and under some further assumptions) in case when $d=2$ we provide complete characterization of $$ in terms of $mathrmdiv,b$ and $mathrmdiv(ub)$. Our approach relies on the structure of level sets of Lipschitz functions on $mathrm{R}^2$ obtained by G. Alberti, S. Bianchini and G. Crippa. Extending our technique we obtain new sufficient conditions when any bounded weak solution $u$ of $partia{l}_{t}u+bcdotablau=0$ is emph{renormalized}, i.e. also solves $$ for any smooth function $$. As a consequence we obtain new uniqueness result for this equation.
