Abstract

We establish the first finite-time blow-up results for generalized 3D stochastic fractional Navier-Stokes equations \Caputou=(u)up+ν\fLaplacianu+I1β[σ(u)W˙],u=0, \Caputo \mathbf{u} = -(\mathbf{u} \cdot \nabla)\mathbf{u} - \nabla p + \nu \fLaplacian \mathbf{u} + I^{1-\beta}[\sigma(\mathbf{u}) \dot{W}], \quad \nabla \cdot \mathbf{u} = 0, with dissipation (Δ)α/2(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2} for α(1,3/2)\alpha \in (1, 3/2), Caputo time-memory tβ\partial_t^\beta, and superlinear noise u1+γ|\mathbf{u}|^{1+\gamma}, proving that for a critical window of memory, β(αα+3,βc(α,γ))\beta \in (\frac{\alpha}{\alpha+3}, \beta_c(\alpha,\gamma)), the second moment of the vorticity supremum explodes due to a vortex-stretching-driven renewal inequality. This work reveals that when a fluid's temporal memory, governed by tβ\partial_t^\beta, is short enough to permit instability but long enough for that instability to mature, the relentless self-amplification from vortex stretching, when coupled with explosive stochastic kicks from the u1+γ|\mathbf{u}|^{1+\gamma} noise, guarantees the vorticity will spin up to infinity in finite time.
