Global regularity of a class of p-fluid flows in cylinders

We consider the motion of an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid with shear dependent viscosity. We extend and improve the results obtained in the recent paper by Crispo [F. Crispo, Shear thinning viscous fluids in cylindrical domains. Regularity up to the boundary, J. Math. Fluid Mech., in press], concerning the case of the motion between two coaxial cylinders, to the case of a full cylinder. Actually we prove boundary regularity for solutions to the stationary Dirichlet problem with zero boundary data. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved
