Div-Curl Problems and $\mathbf{H}^1$-regular Stream Functions in 3D Lipschitz Domains (2005.11764v2)

Published 24 May 2020 in math.AP

Abstract: We consider the problem of recovering the divergence-free velocity field ${\mathbf U}\in\mathbf{L}2(\Omega)$ of a given vorticity ${\mathbf F}=\mathrm{curl}\,{\mathbf U}$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}3$. To that end, we solve the "div-curl problem" for a given ${\mathbf F}\in{\mathbf H}{-1}(\Omega)$. The solution is expressed in terms of a vector potential (or stream function) ${\mathbf A}\in{\mathbf H}1(\Omega)$ such that ${\mathbf U}=\mathrm{curl}\,{\mathbf A}$. After discussing existence and uniqueness of solutions and associated vector potentials, we propose a well-posed construction for the stream function. A numerical method based on this construction is presented, and experiments confirm that the resulting approximations display higher regularity than those of another common approach.
