Abstract

Consider a weak solution u of the instationary Navier-Stokes system in a bounded domain of R3 satisfying the strong energy inequality. Extending previous results by Farwig et al., J. Math. Fluid Mech. 11, 1-14 (2008), we prove among other things that u is regular if either the kinetic energy 1/2 ∥u(t) ∥22 or the dissipation energy ∫ t 0 ∥∇u(τ ) ∥2 2 dτ is (left-side) Hölder continuous as a function of time t with Hölder exponent 1/2 and with sufficiently small Hölder seminorm. The proofs use local regularity results which are based on the theory of very weak solutions and on uniqueness arguments for weak solutions.
