The gradient of the smooth pressure against the transport term #
For a smooth square-integrable pressure whose weak equation
∫ P Δψ = -∑ ∫ F_ij ∂_i∂_j ψ holds against every smooth compactly supported test function, the
pressure equation ΔP = -∑ ∂_i c_i holds pointwise, where c_i = ∑_j ∂_j F_ji is the divergence of
the tensor. Consequently ‖∇P‖² = -⟨c, ∇P⟩, the orthogonality behind the pressure gradient bound in
the time derivative estimate of prop:lps-local-strong.
Integration by parts of a smooth function against a smooth compactly supported one.
The pressure equation holds pointwise for a smooth square-integrable pressure satisfying its
weak form: ΔP = -∑ᵢ ∂ᵢ cᵢ with cᵢ = ∑ⱼ ∂ⱼ F_ji (prop:lps-local-strong).
The pressure gradient is bounded in L² by the divergence of the tensor:
∑ᵢ ‖∂ᵢ P‖² ≤ ∑ᵢ ‖cᵢ‖² (prop:lps-local-strong).
