The Hessian half of eq:aniso:closure:elliptic #
This file proves the second elliptic bound of eq:aniso:closure:elliptic, the estimate the
gradient bound integral_sq_fderiv_smul_le leaves open: for a field v smooth and divergence
free on an open set U and a cutoff χ supported in U,
∫ |∇²(χ v)|² ≤ 4 ∫ χ² |∇ curl v|² + 24 N² ∫ |∇χ|² + 24 N² ∫ |∇²χ|²,
where N bounds the first-order jet |v|² + |∇v|² of v on the support of ∇χ. The first term
on the right is the enstrophy dissipation M t of lem:aniso:closure.
The proof applies the second-order identity integral_sq_fderiv_fderiv_eq_curl_add_div to the
globally smooth compactly supported field χ v, which splits ∫ |∇²(χv)|² as
∫ |∇ curl (χv)|² + ∫ |∇ div (χv)|², and then expands each half by the Leibniz rule:
curl (χ v) = χ curl v + ∇χ × v, so one more derivative produces four terms, three of which carry a derivative ofχand are therefore supported where the jet bound applies;div (χ v) = ∇χ · vonU, sincevis divergence free there, so one more derivative produces two terms, both carrying a derivative ofχ.
The cross-product terms are controlled by sum_sq_cross3_le, and the dot-product term by the
Lagrange identity.
Regularity of the curl on the smoothness set #
A coordinate derivative of a scalar smooth on an open set is smooth there.
A component of the curl of a field smooth on an open set is smooth there.
One derivative of the cross-product term #
One derivative of the curl and the divergence of a cutoff product #
Elementary sum inequalities #
The pointwise bound on one derivative of the curl #
The pointwise bound on one derivative of the divergence #
Integrability of the cutoff-weighted curl dissipation #
χ² |∇ curl v|² is integrable when χ is a cutoff supported inside the smoothness set of
v. This is the enstrophy dissipation of lem:aniso:closure.
The Hessian bound #
The Hessian half of eq:aniso:closure:elliptic. For a field v smooth and divergence
free on an open set U, a cutoff χ smooth and compactly supported inside U, and N
bounding the first-order jet of v on the support of ∇χ,
∫ |∇²(χ v)|² ≤ 4 ∫ χ² |∇ curl v|² + 24 N² ∫ |∇χ|² + 24 N² ∫ |∇²χ|².
It is the second-order identity integral_sq_fderiv_fderiv_eq_curl_add_div applied to χ v,
followed by the Leibniz expansions of curl (χ v) and div (χ v).
