Regularity Criteria for Navier-Stokes Equations with Slip Boundary Conditions on Non-flat Boundaries via Two Velocity Components

AbstractH.-O. Bae and H.J. Choe, in a 1997 paper, established a regularity criteria for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space ℝ3based on two velocity components. Recently, one of the present authors extended this result to the half-space case$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \mathbb{R}^3_+ \end{array}$. Further, this author in collaboration with J. Bemelmans and J. Brand extended the result to cylindrical domains under physical slip boundary conditions. In this note we obtain a similar result in the case of smooth arbitrary boundaries, but under a distinct, apparently very similar, slip boundary condition. They coincide just on flat portions of the boundary. Otherwise, a reciprocal reduction between the two results looks not obvious, as shown in the last section below.

Regularity criteria for Navier-Stokes and related system

We show some regularity criteria for Navier-Stokes equations, the harmonic heat flow, two liquid crystals models, and a model for magneto-elastic materials. The method of proof depends on a systematic use of interpolation inequalities in Besov spaces and is independent on logarithmic inequalities.
