We consider suitable weak solutions of the Navier–Stokes system in a bounded space-time domain D. We prove that the parabolic fractal dimension of the singular set is less than or equal to 135/82. We also introduce the concept of the parabolic fractal measure {\mathcal F}_{\mathcal P}^{\alpha} and prove that the fractal measure {\mathcal F}_{p}^{135/82} of the singular set is zero. For the Leray–Hopf weak solutions, we prove {\mathcal F}^{1/2}(\Sigma_T)=0 , where ΣT denotes the set of singular times on [0, T] and {\mathcal F}^{1/2} stands for the 1/2-dimensional fractal measure.
