The leading pressure term away from the cut-off #
The leading local pressure p₁ = ηp - (p₂ + ⋯ + p₈) is built from ηp and from
Newtonian potentials whose sources all vanish outside tsupport η. Consequently
p₁ is harmonic in the sense of distributions outside tsupport η: a test
function vanishing on an open neighbourhood of the cut-off support pairs to zero
against Δp₁. This is the exterior half of the whole-space distributional
identity for p₁; the interior half is the localized identity of the pressure
decomposition.
A smooth function vanishing on an open set has vanishing first spatial derivatives there.
A smooth function vanishing on an open set has vanishing mixed second spatial derivatives there.
A smooth function vanishing on an open set has vanishing spatial Laplacian there.
The leading local pressure is locally integrable on every time slice for which the velocity tensor, the pressure and the force are integrable on the cut-off support.
The tensor side of the whole-space identity vanishes against a test function supported away from the cut-off.
The leading local pressure is weakly harmonic outside the support of the
cut-off: a smooth compactly supported test function vanishing on an open
neighbourhood of tsupport η pairs to zero against Δp₁.
