Abstract

We give a simple proof of the uniqueness of fluid particle trajectories corresponding to (1) the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with an initial condition that is only square integrable and (2) the local strong solution of the three-dimensional equations with an H-1/2-regular initial condition, i. e. with the minimal Sobolev regularity known to guarantee uniqueness. This result was proved by Chemin and Lerner (1995 J. Diff. Eqns 121 314-28) using the Littlewood-Paley theory for the flow in the whole space R-d, d >= 2. We first show that the solutions of the differential equation. X = u(X, t) are unique if u is an element of L-p(0, T; H(d/2)-1) for some p > 1 and root t u is an element of L-2(0, T; H(d/2)+1). We then prove, using standard energy methods, that the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations with initial condition in H(d/2)-1 satisfies these conditions. This proof is also valid for the more physically relevant case of bounded domains.
