The paper considers the regularity problem on three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in general orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. We establish one regularity criteria of the weak solutions involving only in a vorticity component ω 3 and one a priori estimate on the solution that H 3 u 3 L ∞ 0 , T ; L p ℝ 3 is bounded for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ to three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in orthogonal curvilinear coordinate systems. These extent greatly the corresponding results on axisymmetric cylindrical flow.

A novel structured grid approach which provides an efficient way of treating a class of complex geometries is proposed. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are formulated in a two-dimensional, generalized curvilinear coordinate system complemented by a third quasi-curvilinear coordinate. By keeping all two-dimensional planes defined by constant third coordinate values parallel to one another, the proposed approach significantly reduces the memory requirement in fully three-dimensional geometries, and makes the computation more cost effective. The formulation can be easily adapted to an existing flow solver based on a two-dimensional generalized coordinate system coupled with a Cartesian third direction, with only a small increase in computational cost. The feasibility and efficiency of the present method have been assessed in a simulation of flow over a tapered cylinder.
