Long-term regularity of 3D gravity water waves

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study a fundamental model in fluid mechanics--the 3D gravity water wave equation, in which an incompressible fluid occupying half the 3D space flows under its own gravity. In this paper we show long-term regularity of solutions whose initial data is small but not localized. Our results include: almost global wellposedness for unweighted Sobolev initial data and global wellposedness for weighted Sobolev initial data with weight |x|alpha, for any alpha>0. In the periodic case, if the initial data lives on an R by R torus, and epsilon close to the constant solution, then the life span of the solution is at least R/(epsilon2(logR)2).
