Problem of a Point Source

Abstract

Several problems of motion of a viscous incompressible fluid with a point source in the flow region are considered. The corresponding initial-boundary-value problems for the Navier-Stokes equations have no solutions in the standard class of functions because the flow velocity field contains an infinite Dirichlet integral. Problem regularization allows one to prove its solvability under certain constraints on the initial data.
