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

H.-O. Bae and H.J. Choe, in a 1997 paper, established a regularity criteria for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space $\R^3$ based on two velocity components. Recently, one of the present authors extended this result to the half-space case $\R^3_+\,.$ 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.Comment: 15 page

Suitable weak solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations constructed by a space-time numerical discretization

We prove that weak solutions obtained as limits of certain numerical space-time discretizations are suitable in the sense of Scheffer and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg. More precisely, in the space-periodic setting, we consider a full discretization in which the theta-method is used to discretize the time variable, while in the space variables we consider appropriate families of finite elements. The main result is the validity of the so-called local energy inequality.Comment: 16 page
