On the global well-posedness of 3-D axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes system with small swirl component

Abstract

In this paper, we prove the local well-posedness of 3-D axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes system with initial data in the critical Lebesgue spaces. We also obtain the global well-posedness result with small initial data. Furthermore, with the initial swirl component of the velocity being sufficiently small in the almost critical spaces, we can still prove the global well-posedness of the system.
