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

Abstract

Abstract 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 ℝ3 based on two velocity components. Recently, one of the present authors extended this result to the half-space case $\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \mathbb{R}^3_+ \end{array}$. 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.
