Introduction

The linear Brinkman equations governing the motion of an

incompressible fluid can be written as the following boundary
value problem:

Introduction
Let us also recall that the axisymmetric counterparts of the
usual differential operators acting on vectors and scalars read
diva v := r vr + r1 vr + z vz ,

:= (r , z )T ,
curla := (z , r1 r (r))T .

rot v := r vz z vr ,

By introducing the (scalar) vorticity field = rot u, we obtain the

equivalent system
u + curla + p = f

in ,

rot u = 0

Weighted Sobolev spaces

Let L2 () denote the space of all measurable functions
defined in for which
Z
2
kkL2 () :=
||2 r drdz < .
The subspace

L21,0 ()

L1 ()

of
Z

contains functions q such that:

qr drdz = 0.

The weighted Sobolev space Hkr () consists of all functions in

L21 () whose derivatives up to order k are also in L21 (). In
particular,
