A blowup solution is a solution whose norm (typically a Sobolev norm) goes to infinity either in finite time (finite time blowup) or in infinite time (infinite time blowup). The former case is incompatible with global well-posedness. The latter is not incpatibe with global well-posedness, but does rule out scattering behaviour.
