Geometric Regularity Criteria for Incompressible Navier--Stokes Equations with Navier Boundary Conditions (1802.03535v5)

Abstract: We study the regularity criteria for weak solutions to the $3D$ incompressible Navier--Stokes equations in terms of the geometry of vortex structures, taking into account the boundary effects. A boundary regularity theorem is proved on regular domains with a class of oblique derivative boundary conditions, providing that the vorticity of the fluid is coherently aligned. In particular, we establish the boundary regularity on round balls, half-spaces and right circular cylindrical ducts, subject to the classical Navier and kinematic boundary conditions.
