Nonstationary Stokes equations on a domain with curved boundary under slip boundary conditions (2408.17321v2)

Abstract: We consider nonstationary Stokes equations in nondivergence form with variable viscosity coefficients and generalized Navier slip boundary conditions with slip tensor $\mathcal{A}$ in a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. First, under the assumption that slip matrix $\mathcal{A}$ is sufficiently smooth, we establish a priori local regularity estimates for solutions near a curved portion of the domain boundary. Second, when $\mathcal{A}$ is the shape operator, we derive local boundary estimates for the Hessians of the solutions, where the right-hand side does not involve the pressure. Notably, our results are new even if the viscosity coefficients are constant.
