Lagrangian Structure for Compressible Flow in the Half-space with the Navier Boundary Condition

Abstract

We show the uniqueness of particle paths of a velocity field, which solves the compressible isentropic Navier-Stokes equations in the half-space $\mathbb{R}_+^3$ with the Navier boundary condition. In particular, by means of energy estimates and the assumption of small energy we prove that the velocity field satisfies the necessary regularity needed to prove the uniqueness of particle paths.
