Nonexistence of singular pseudo-self-similar solutions of the Navier-Stokes system (Q5947419)

The authors investigate the Navier-Stokes system in the form \[ \partial \mathbf u /\partial t-\triangle \mathbf u (\mathbf u\cdot \nabla){\mathbf u} +\nabla p=0, \quad \operatorname {div}\mathbf u=0. \] It is shown nonexistence of pseudo-self-similar solutions, i.e., solutions in the form \({\mathbf u}=(T-t)^{-1/2}{\mathbf U}(x(T-t)^{-1/2})\), \(p=(T-t)^{-1}P(x(T-t)^{-1/2})\). Obviously, the considered solutions possess a singularity at \(t=T\). It is proved that there are no singular pseudo-self-similar solutions of the Navier-Stokes system with finite energy, which imply that there is no solution satisfying \[ \text{ess }\sup_{0<t<T} \|\mathbf u (. ,t)\|_{L_2(\mathbb{R}^3)}<\infty, \] \[ \|\nabla \mathbf u \|_{L_2({\mathbb{R}^3}{\times (0,T))}}<\infty, \] \[ \lim_{t\uparrow T} \|\nabla \mathbf u (. ,t)\|_{L_2(\mathbb{R}^3)}=\infty \] for any \(T\).
