Partial regularity of solutions to the 3D chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations at the first blow-up time

Abstract

In this note, we investigate partial regularity of weak solutions of the three dimensional chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations, and obtain the $\frac53$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the possible singular set is vanishing at the first blow-up time. The new ingredients are to establish certain type of local energy inequality and deal with the non-scaling invariant quantity of $n\ln n$, which seems to be the first description for the singular set of weak solutions of the chemotaxis-fluid model, which is motivated by Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg's partial regularity theory \cite{CKN}.
