Global regularity criterion for the dissipative systems modelling electrohydrodynamics involving the middle eigenvalue of the strain tensor

Abstract

In this paper, we study a dissipative systems modelling electrohydrodynamics in incompressible viscous fluids. The system consists of the Navier–Stokes equations coupled with a classical Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations. In the three-dimensional case, we establish a global regularity criteria in terms of the middle eigenvalue of the strain tensor in the framework of the anisotropic Lorentz spaces for local smooth solution. The proof relies on the identity for entropy growth introduced by Miller in the Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. [16].
