Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative of the velocity field is infinite at any point of a field of flow (or, in an evolving flow, becomes infinite at any point within a finite time). Such singularities can…
For the incompressible Navier-Stokes flows passing a certain type of cones $D$ with the Navier total-slip boundary condition, we show that there exists an absolute constant $C_* > 0$ such that if \[ \sup_{x\in D}r|v_{0,\theta}|\leq C_*…
