Abstract

This paper investigates the global existence of weak solutions for the incompressible $ p $-Navier-Stokes equations in $ \mathbb{R}^d $ $ (2\leq d\leq p) $. The $ p $-Navier-Stokes equations are obtained by adding viscosity term to the $ p $-Euler equations. The diffusion added is represented by the $ p $-Laplacian of velocity and the $ p $-Euler equations are derived as the Euler-Lagrange equations for the action represented by the Benamou-Brenier characterization of Wasserstein-$ p $ distances with constraint density to be characteristic functions.
