From the weak Navier–Stokes identities to pointwise equations: calculus core #
For a field smooth on the open unit cylinder Q and a smooth test function compactly supported
in Q, spatial and temporal derivatives move across the integral, and a continuous function on
Q whose products with all such test functions integrate to zero vanishes on Q. As a first
application the tested divergence identity of a suitable weak solution that is smooth on Q
gives div u = 0 pointwise. These are the first steps from the weak formulation to the classical
equations used in the proof of lem:aniso:annulus.
A function continuous on S times a continuous compactly supported function whose support
lies in S is integrable on Vec3 × ℝ.
Integration by parts in a direction v of Vec3 × ℝ for a field smooth on an open set S
against a test function supported in S.
Integration by parts in the spatial direction i on the unit cylinder.
Integration by parts in time on the unit cylinder.
The fundamental lemma of the calculus of variations on the unit cylinder, pointwise for a continuous function.
Against a test function supported in the unit cylinder, the integral over the cylinder is the integral over all of space-time.
The spatial partial of a smooth test function is its joint derivative in the direction
(eᵢ, 0).
The time partial of a smooth test function is its joint derivative in the direction
(0, 1).
A function continuous on the unit cylinder times a directional derivative of a test function supported in the cylinder is integrable.
A suitable weak solution on the unit cylinder that is smooth there is pointwise divergence free.
