Abstract

We prove partial regularity of suitable weak solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations at the boundary in irregular domains. In particular, we provide a criterion which yields continuity of the velocity field in a boundary point and obtain solutions which are continuous in a.a. boundary boundary point (their existence is a consequence of a new maximal regularity result for the Stokes equations in domains with minimal regularity). We suppose that we have a Lipschitz boundary with locally small Lipschitz constant which belongs to the fractional Sobolev space W 2 − 1 / p , p for some p > 15 4 . The same result was previously only known under the much stronger assumption of a C 2 -boundary.
