Time increments of spatial pairings with the pressure #
The time modulus of lem:forced-equicontinuity tests the weak momentum
identity eq:reg-momentum-forced of a forced regularized solution with
η(t) w(x) for a smooth compactly supported spatial field w that need not
be divergence free. The pressure then contributes p div w to the weak time
derivative of t ↦ ∫ u(t)·w, besides the transport, viscous and force
fluxes. Continuity of the pairing identifies each increment from time 0
with the space-time integral of this density over the slab carrying w.
The increment of a spatial pairing of a forced regularized solution from
time 0 is the space-time integral of the flux and of the pressure against
the divergence of the test field, by the weak momentum identity
eq:reg-momentum-forced tested with η(t) w(x) and the continuity of the
pairing (lem:forced-equicontinuity).
