Abstract

The interior regularity problem for the Leray weak solutions u of the Navier—Stokes equations in a domain Ω ⊂ Rn with n ≥ 3 is investigated. It is shown that u is regular in a neighbourhood of a point (x0,t0) ∈ Ω × (0, T) if there exist constants 0 ≤ θ < 1 and small ε > 0 such that

lim       ess sup     |t – t0|θ/2|x – x0|1-θ |u(x,t)| < ε
k→∞    Q1/k(x0,t0)Q1/k (x0,t0)Q1/k (x0,t0)Q1/k (x0,t0)Q1/k (x0,t0)Q1/k (x0,t0)
with Q1/k (x0,t0) = {x ∈ Rn; |x – x0| < 1/k} × (t0 – 1/k2,t0 + 1/k2).  
If (x0,t0) is an irregular point of u, there exists a sequence of non-zero measure
sets EkiQ1/ki (x0,t0) for i = 1,2,..., such that the blow-up rate estimate |u(x,t)|  ≥  ε|tt0|-θ/2|x – x 0|-1+θ, (x,t)  ∈ Eki   holds.
