The regularity criteria and the a priori estimate on the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems (Q2211416)

Summary: The paper considers the regularity problem on three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. We establish one regularity criteria of the weak solutions involving only in a vorticity component \(\omega^3\) and one a priori estimate on the solution that \(\| H_3 u^3\|_{L^\infty (0,T;L^p(\mathbb{R}^3))}\) is bounded for \(1\leq p\leq\infty\) to three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. These extent greatly the corresponding results on axisymmetric cylindrical flow.
