Abstract: Higher moments of the vorticity field $Omeg{a}_m(t)$ in the form of $L^{2m}$-norms ($1leqm<infty$) are used to explore the regularity problem for solutions of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on the domain $[0,L{]}_{per}^3$. It is found that the set of quantities ${\displaystyle }$ D_{m}(t) = Omega_{m}^{alpha_{m}} ,qquadqquadalpha_{m} = frac{2m}{4m-3}, ${\displaystyle }$ provide a natural scaling in the problem resulting in a bounded set of time averages $<D_m{>}_T$ on a finite interval of time $[0,T]$. The behaviour of $D_{m+1}/D_m$ is studied on what are called `good' and `bad' intervals of $[0,T]$ which are interspersed with junction points (neutral) $a{u}_i$. For large but finite values of $m$ with large initial data �ig($Omeg{a}_m(0)leqvarp{i}_{0}O(G{r}^4)$�ig), it is found that there is an upper bound ${\displaystyle }$ Omega_{m} leq c_{av}^{2}varpi_{0}Gr^{4} ,qquadvarpi_{0} = u L^{-2}, ${\displaystyle }$ which is punctured by infinitesimal gaps or windows in the vertical walls between the good/bad intervals through which solutions may escape. While this result is consistent with that of Leray cite{Leray} and Scheffer cite{Scheff76}, this estimate for $Omeg{a}_m$ corresponds to a length scale well below the validity of the Navier-Stokes equations.
