Smoothness of solutions to the systems describing flows of generalized Newtonian liquids and an estimate of dimensions of their attractors (Q5933389)

The authors consider the following systems: \[ \partial_tv+(\nabla v)v-\text{div }\sigma+\nabla p=q,\quad \text{div} v=0, \] in \(Q_T=\Omega\times ]0,T[,\) (\(\Omega\) is bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^2\)), with initial conditions \[ v|_{t=0}=\varphi\text{ in }\Omega \] and either with the boundary condition \(v|_{\partial\Omega}=0,\) or (in the case when \(\Omega\) is a square) with periodic boundary conditions with respect to \(x_k\), \(k=1,2.\) The unique global solvability of these problems in the class of generalized solutions with finite energy norms follows from the works of Ladyzhenskaya. Moreover, the resolving operators form a first class semigroup \(\{V_t,t\geq 0,H\}\) which has a compact minimal global \(B\)-attractor \(\mathcal M\).
