Partially regular weak solutions of the stationary Navier-Stokes equations in dimension 6

Abstract

By using defect measures, we prove the existence of partially regular weak solutions to the stationary Navier-Stokes equations with external force $f \in L_{\text{loc}}^q \cap L^{3/2}, q>3$ in general open subdomains of $\mathbb{R}^6$. These weak solutions satisfy certain local energy estimates and we estimate the size of their singular sets in terms of Hausdorff measures. We also prove the defect measures vanish under a smallness condition, in contrast to the nonstationary Navier-Stokes equations in $\mathbb{R}^4 \times [0,\infty[$.
