Abstract: The first goal of our paper is to give a new type of regularity criterion for solutions $u$ to Navier-Stokes equation in terms of some supercritical function space condition $uin{L}^{infty}(L^{alpha,\ast })$ (with $frac34(17^{frac12}-1)<alpha<3$) and some exponential control on the growth rate of $dv(fracu|u|)$ along the streamlines of u. This regularity criterion greatly improves the previous one in cite{smoothnesscriteria}. The proof leading to the regularity criterion of our paper basically follows the one in cite{smoothnesscriteria}. However, we also point out that totally new idea which involves the use of the new supercritical function space condition is necessary for the success of our new regularity criterion in this paper. The second goal of our paper is to construct a divergence free vector field $u$ within a flow-invariant tubular region with increasing twisting of streamlines towards one end of a bundle of streamlines. The increasing twisting of streamlines is controlled in such a way that the associated quantities $|u{|}_{L^{alpha}}$ and $|dv(fracu|u|){|}_{L^6}$ blow up while preserving the finite energy property $uin{L}^2$ at the same time. The purpose of such a construction is to demonstrate the necessity to go beyond the scope covered by some previous regularity criteria such as cite{Vasseur2} or cite{Esca}.

Review text

A new regularity criterion for solutions \(u\) to Navier-Stokes equation was deduced in terms of some exponential control on the rate of change of div \((\frac{u}{|u|})\) along the streamlines of \(u\) and some weak \(L^\alpha\) space condition imposed on \(u\). Moreover, through the use of geometric languages, the authors gave some sufficient mathematical conditions on possible isolated blow-up phenomena for a given divergence free velocity field \(u\) within a stream-tube segment. In particular, the geometric conditions or characterizations for \(u\) demonstrate the possible way in which excessive twisting of streamlines towards the ending cross section of the stream-tube can result in the blow up of the quantities \(\|u\|_{L^{\alpha}}\) with \(\alpha\in(2,3)\) and \(\|\text{div}(\frac{u}{|u|})\|_{L^6}\) while simultaneously preserving the finite energy property \(u\in L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)\).
