Fixed-time convection identities for H² fields #
At a fixed time the convection field (u·∇)u of a solenoidal H² field is
square integrable, and pairing it with a smooth compactly supported field
integrates by parts onto the transported product u ⊗ u
(lem:lps-H1-estimate).
Each term uⱼ ∂ⱼuₖ of the convection field of an H² field is square
integrable: the velocity is in L⁶ and the gradient in L³ by Sobolev
interpolation (lem:lps-H1-estimate).
The convection field (u·∇)u of a solenoidal H² field is square
integrable (lem:lps-H1-estimate).
Pairing the convection field with a smooth compactly supported field
integrates by parts onto the transported product u ⊗ u, since u is
solenoidal (lem:lps-H1-estimate).
Pairing the second-derivative trace with a smooth compactly supported field
integrates by parts onto the first derivatives (lem:lps-H1-estimate).
The second-derivative trace of a weakly solenoidal H² field is weakly
solenoidal (lem:lps-H1-estimate).
