Abstract

Vortex-stretching and, consequently, the evolution of the vorticity is localized on an arbitrarily small space-time cylinder. This yields a complete localization of the geometric condition(s) for the regularity involving coherence of the vorticity direction. In particular, it implies the regularity of any geometrically constrained Leray solution independently of the type of the spatial domain or the boundary conditions.
