Abstract

In this paper, we consider the energy conservation and regularity of the weak solution uu to the Navier-Stokes equations in the endpoint case. We first construct a divergence-free field u(t,x)u(t,x) which satisfies limtTTtu(t)BMO<\lim_{t\to T}\sqrt{T-t}||u(t)||_{BMO}<\infty and limtTTtu(t)L=\lim_{t\to T}\sqrt{T-t}||u(t)||_{L^\infty}=\infty to demonstrate that the Type II singularity is admissible in the endpoint case uL2,(BMO)u\in L^{2,\infty}(BMO). Secondly, we prove that if a suitable weak solution u(t,x)u(t,x) satisfying uL2,([0,T];BMO(Ω))<||u||_{L^{2,\infty}([0,T];BMO(\Omega))}<\infty for arbitrary ΩR3\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^3 then the local energy equality is valid on [0,T]×Ω[0,T]\times\Omega. As a corollary, we also prove uL2,([0,T];BMO(R3))<||u||_{L^{2,\infty}([0,T];BMO(\mathbb{R}^3))}<\infty implies the global energy equality on [0,T][0,T]. Thirdly, we show that as the solution uu approaches a finite blowup time TT, the norm u(t)BMO||u(t)||_{BMO} must blow up at a rate faster than cTt\frac{c}{\sqrt{T-t}} with some absolute constant c>0c>0. Furthermore, we prove that if u3L2,([0,T];BMO(R3))=M<||u_3||_{L^{2,\infty}([0,T];BMO(\mathbb{R}^3))}=M<\infty then there exists a small constant cMc_M depended on MM such that if uhL2,([0,T];BMO(R3))cM||u_h||_{L^{2,\infty}([0,T];BMO(\mathbb{R}^3))}\leq c_M then uu is regular on (0,T]×R3(0,T]\times\mathbb{R}^3.
