Singular weak solutions near boundaries in a half space away from localized force for the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations

Abstract

We prove that there exists a weak solution of the Stokes system with a non-zero external force and no-slip boundary conditions in a half space of dimensions three and higher so that its normal derivatives are unbounded near boundary. A localized and divergence free singular force causes, via non-local effect, singular behaviors of normal derivatives for the solution near boundary, although such boundary is away from the support of the external force. The constructed one is a weak solution that has finite energy globally, and it can be comparable to the one in \cite{Seregin-Sverak10} as a form of a shear flow that is of only locally finite energy. Similar construction is performed for the Navier-Stokes equations as well.
