Abstract

In this paper, we derive some new lower bounds of possible blow up solutions in $\dot{H}^1_p (\mathbb{R}^3)$ with $3 / 2 \lt p \lt \infty$ to the 3D Navier–Stokes equations, which provides a new proof of the corresponding recent results involving blow up rates in $\dot{H}^s$ with $1 \leq s \lt 5/2$ in [A. Cheskidov and M. Zaya, J. Math. Phys., 57:023101, 2016; J.C. Cortissoz and J.A. Montero, J. Math. Fluid Mech., 20:1–5, 2018; D.S. McCormick, E.J. Olson, J.C. Robinson, J.L. Rodrigo, A. Vidal-López, and Y. Zhou, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 48:2119–2132, 2016; J.C. Robinson, W. Sadowski, and R.P. Silva, 53:115618, 2012]. We apply this to study the upper box dimension of the set of singular times of weak solutions. In addition, blow up rates of solutions to the 2D supercritical surface quasi-geostrophic equation in $\dot{H}^1_p (\mathbb{R}^2)$ are established.
