Conservative difference equations tested on compactly supported functions #
All integrals use Euclidean Lebesgue measure. Compact support is required only of the test function; the velocities and pressures need no support or decay assumptions for the identities in this module.
The ordinary scalar Laplacian, with the same coordinate directions as the vector Laplacian in the Navier--Stokes residual.
Equations
Instances For
Divergence of the velocity outer product, before using incompressibility.
The exact conservative equation for a difference of smooth solutions having the same viscosity-one residual.
Twice integrating by parts transfers a scalar Laplacian to the compact test function, regardless of growth of the other smooth function.
Testing the conservative equation against a compact scalar test transfers all spatial derivatives off the velocity difference and tensor difference. No global integrability assumption is imposed on either pressure.
A slab version of the compact weak identity with time differentiability supplied by joint smoothness.
A compact scalar test detects the ordinary divergence, even when the vector field has no compact support.
Differentiation of one component paired with a fixed compact spatial test. The compact support supplies a common spatial domain for differentiation.
The time derivative has zero distributional divergence. This follows by differentiating a compact pairing that is identically zero on the time interval.
The pressure difference solves the compact-test Poisson equation obtained from the actual Navier--Stokes residual and incompressibility. No pressure normalization, growth hypothesis, or integrability at infinity is used.
