Mathematical tools for the study of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and related models

F. Boyer, P. Fabrie

Erratum and complements

  • The definition of the sound speed in the fluid on top of page 35 should be $$\frac{1}{c} = \sqrt{ \left(\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial p}\right)_T }$$
  • Some precisions are needed concerning Theorem VI.1.6 and Lemma VI.1.7 : Details are given in this document
  • In System (VI.38) the inflow part of the boundary $\Gamma_v^-(t)$ actually does not depend on $t$ since $v=v_b$ on the boundary and $v_b$ does not depend on time. However, all the analysis proposed here can be adapted to a time-dependent boundary data $v_b$, provided we assume suitable regularity properties.
  • At the end of the statement of Theorem VI.2.1, in the case $\inf \rho_0>0$, it is not true that $v$ belongs to the space $H$ since its normal component does not vanish on the boundary. The correct formulation is the following $$v-v_b\in L^\infty(]0,T[,H)\cap N_2^{\frac{1}{4}}(]0,T[,H).$$
