Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3\) be any domain. For a given time instant \(0<T<\infty\) define \(Q=\Omega \times (0,T)\). The author considers the generalized Navier-Stokes equations \(\partial_t\mathbf{u}+(\mathbf{u}\cdot\nabla)\mathbf{u}-\operatorname{div}\mathbf{S}+\nabla p=-\operatorname{div}\mathbf{f}\); \(\operatorname{div}\mathbf{u}=0\) in \(Q\), where \(\mathbf{u}=(u^1, u^2, u^3)\) is the unknown velocity, \(p\) is the unknown pressure, \(-\operatorname{div}\mathbf{f}\) is the external force, and \(\mathbf{S}\) is the deviatoric stress tensor. The following boundary and initial conditions are associated with the above system: \(\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{0}\) on \(\partial \Omega \times (0,T)\), \(\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{u}_0\) on \(\Omega \times \{ 0\}\). From the author's abstract: We present a new proof of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem, based on a generalized notion of a local suitable weak solution, involving the local pressure. By estimating the integrals involving the pressure in terms of velocity, the pressure term is canceled in the local decay estimates. In particular, our proof shows that the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg theorem holds for any open set \(\Omega \) without any restriction on the size and the regularity of the boundary. In addition, the method forms a basis for proving partial regularity results to other fluid models such as non-Newtonian models or models with heat conduction.
