Abstract: A series of numerical experiments is suggested for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes and Euler equations on a periodic domain based on a set of

L^{2 m}

-norms of vorticity

O m e g a_{m}

for

m g e q 1

. These are scaled to form the dimensionless sequence

D_{m} = (v a r p i_{0}^{- 1} O m e g a_{m})^{a l p h a_{m}}

where

v a r p i_{0}

is a constant frequency and

a l p h a_{m} = 2 m / (4 m - 3)

. A numerically testable Navier-Stokes regularity criterion comes from comparing the relative magnitudes of

D_{m}

and

D_{m + 1}

while another is furnished by imposing a critical lower bound on

i n t_{0}^{t} D_{m}, d a u

. The behaviour of the

D_{m}

is also important in the Euler case in suggesting a method by which possible singular behaviour might also be tested.
