Regularity criterion for 3D Navier-Stokes equations in Besov spaces (Q380153)

In this paper the authors investigate the Cauchy problem for the Navier-Stokes equations in \(\mathbb R^3\times (0,T)\). They are especially interested in regularity criterions of so-called Leray-Hopf weak solutions. The authors derive such additional conditions in terms of the gradient of velocity component like \(\nabla_hu\) (or \(\nabla u_3\)) where \(\nabla_h=(\partial_{x_1}, \partial_{x_2}) \) denotes the horizontal gradient operator. They show that a weak solution \(u\) becomes regular if the above gradients fulfill some additional conditions in the class \(L^q(0,T; {\dot B}^s_{p,r}(\mathbb R^3))\). Furthermore, the anisotropic regularity criterion for the equations in \(\mathbb R^3\) are considered, too. Finally, the authors prove a further regularity criterion when given a sufficient condition on \(\partial_3u_3\). The bibliography contains 27 appropriate items.
