Large time behavior for weak solutions of the 3D globally modified Navier-Stokes equations (Q1725193)

Summary: This paper is concerned with the large time behavior of the weak solutions for three-dimensional globally modified Navier-Stokes equations. With the aid of energy methods and auxiliary decay estimates together with \(L^p - L^q\) estimates of heat semigroup, we derive the optimal upper and lower decay estimates of the weak solutions for the globally modified Navier-Stokes equations as \(C_1(1 + t)^{- 3 / 4} \leq \|u\|_{L^2} \leq C_2(1 + t)^{- 3 / 4}, t > 1 \). The decay rate is optimal since it coincides with that of heat equation.
