Liouville-type theorems for the stationary non-Newtonian fluids in a slab
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate Liouville-type theorems for stationary solutions to the shear thickening fluid equations in a slab. We show that the axisymmetric solution must be trivial if its local $L^\infty$-norm grows mildly as the radius $R$ grows. Also, a bounded general solution $u$ must be trivial if $ru^r$ is bounded. The proof is inspired by the work of Bang, Gui, Wang, and Xie [J. Fluid Mech. 1005 (2025)] for the Navier-Stokes equations, and the key point is to establish a Saint-Venant type estimate that characterizes the growth of the local Dirichlet integral of nontrivial solutions. One new ingredient is the estimate of the constant in Korn's inequality over different domains.
