where and below ∇· and ∇× denote the div and curl operators respectively, n is the outward normal, and τ is the unit tangential vector of ∂Ω. The investigation of vanishing viscosity limit of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations both in the two and three spacial dimensional cases is a classical issue. There are two related questions arising from here: one is how to describe the inviscid limiting behavior of the Navier-Stokes equation; and the other is that does the Euler equation can be approximated by the Navier-Stokes equations. In the case that the solution to the ∗This research is supported in part by Zheng Ge Ru Foundation, and Hong Kong RGC Earmarked Research Grants CUHK-4028/04P, CUHK-4040/02P and CUHK-4279/00P.
