Abstract

We prove two conditions of local Holder continuity for suitable weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations near a smooth curved part of the boundary of the domain. One of these conditions has the form of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg condition for local boundedness of suitable weak solutions at interior points of the space-time cylinder. The corresponding results near a planar part of the boundary have been established earlier by Seregin. Bibliography: 21 titles.
