Navier–Stokes equations: an analysis of a possible gap to achieve the energy equality

The paper is concerned with the IBVP of the Navier–Stokes equations. The goal is to evaluate the possible gap between the energy equality and the energy inequality deduced for a weak solution. This kind of analysis is new and the result is a natural continuation and improvement of a result obtained by the same authors in Crispo et al. (Some new properties of a suitable weak solution to the Navier–Stokes equations
