The aim is to identify a necessary condition for finite-time singularity in the 3D Navier-Stokes equations via vorticity analysis.
Analyzed the vorticity equation of the Navier-Stokes system.
Isolated vorticity stretching as the main mechanism for amplification.
Formulated a requirement based on the divergence of the cubic vorticity integral.
Confirmed that blow-up correlates with the divergence of the cumulative cubic vorticity integral.
Provided a precise formulation for singularity formation based on a single spacetime quantity.

Vasconcelos Antonio Jorge (2026) studied this question.
