On the Role of the Convection Term in the Equations of Motion of Incompressible Fluid

Hisashi Okamoto and Koji Ohkitani

(Received May 16, 2005; Accepted August 4, 2005)

We consider the equations of motion of incompressible fluid. Several examples of blow-up for model equations are studied in order to suggest that the existence of the convection term plays a crucial role in the global existence of smooth solutions of some equations including the two-dimensional Euler equations. If we may say so, the convection term suppresses the blow-up of solutions. ©2005 The Physical Society of Japan
