Abstract

Let vv and \o\o be the velocity and the vorticity of the a suitable weak solution of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in a space-time domain containing z0=(x0,t0)z_0 =(x_0, t_0), and Qz0,r=Bx0,r×(t0r2,t0)Q_{z_0, r} =B_{x_0, r}\times (t_0-r^2, t_0) be a parabolic cylinder in the domain. We show that if v×\o\oLx,tγ,α(Qz0,r)v\times \frac{\o}{|\o|}\in L^{\gamma, \alpha}_{x,t} (Q_{z_0, r}) or \o×vvLx,tγ,α(Qz0,r){\o}\times \frac{v}{|v|}\in L^{\gamma, \alpha}_{x,t} (Q_{z_0, r}), where Lx,tγ,αL^{\gamma, \alpha}_{x,t} denotes the Serrin type of class, then z0z_0 is a regular point for vv. This refines previous local regularity criteria for the suitable weak solutions.
