Abstract

We investigate local and global strong solutions for the incompressible viscoelastic system of Oldroyd--B type. We obtain the existence and uniqueness of a solution in a functional setting invariant by the scaling of the associated equations. More precisely, the initial velocity has the same critical regularity index as for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations, and one more derivative is needed for the deformation tensor. We point out a smoothing effect on the velocity and a L1-decay on the difference between the deformation tensor and the identity matrix. Our result implies that the deformation tensor F has the same regularity as the density of the compressible Navier--Stokes equations.
